Hi all~
I am new here. ^^ FInally found a network of Singaporean musician.
I am here to ask for some tips/opinion/advice from people about keyboard and synthesizer. Hope this post isn't too long for everyone. >.<
Yes. I have read the sticky thread, informations about keyboard and synthesizer for noobs. I am unable to understand a few of the term though, I don't have any background knowledge of music theory. (If there is a such a thing call music theory
)
Anyway, maybe a little bit of myself. I am not a very advanced pianist/keyboardist. Self learnt it myself. I own my own keyboard of course, and I can understand and read music sheet for piano. (Don't know how to play any other instrument.) I have been playing songs on my keyboard for 2 years now (usually Final Fantasy Series/sentimental songs.) and at the moment, I want to do more than just playing songs. Simply playing songs and reading sheets is no longer as exciting/fulfilling anymore for me.
I have been looking at synthesizers, basically a keyboard that is able to create and tweak sounds effects, if I understand correctly. Sythesizers are also able to "upload" to computer, and play with all the sounds, do remixes...etc.
I am not sure if this is considered a synthesizer?

That is similar to what I would want to be able to do, playing different sounds on a keyboard. And from my limited knowledge, a synthesizer is able to do that, am I right? More than just that, I wanna to be able to do remixes on my own, on some metalcore songs. (if anyone is a metalcore fan here. ^^) Metalcore songs don't sound so nice solo on my puny keyboard.
I hope I am not looking at the wrong gear lol. From what I read, I think synthesizer is what I am looking for.
Does anyone have any advice/opinions? Any guide about synthesizer? I know synthesizer are expensive, so I am saving up, and setting aside 2k~3k for it.
Thanks in advance. ^^
