Well, first of all, I want to say HELLO to all of the nice persons that are inside this forum, I've been checking it for a year or so, but I've never posted anything. I've learn a lot just by reading your posts.
I want to introduce myself:
My name is Alfredo, i'm 18 years old, i'm Venezuelan and have been playing classical piano for 13 years now and I've been playing keyboards for 1 year and a half, but using a nice board for playing, Yamaha PSR-something, but it's not a synth and I really feel I need one (though it has helped me in understanding a lot of things about keyboards and the way they work). The parts I actually want to learn is the good things about synths, because I've pretty much covered the technical part.
Now, I know that this has been asked A LOT, probably ad-nauseum, but I need to have you opinions on this: since I've been looking for a good synth to work with, I've checked a lot of things and narrowed down to a Yamaha, i've been thinking of getting a Yamaha S90 or maybe a good 88 keys MIDI controller, the M-Audio Keystation Pro 88 looks nice along with the Motif rack, I'm really confused and don't know wich one would be better for me, my budget's on the 2000$ and the thing I need the most is good presets, because I'm more of a preset player, though I'd like to tweak them a little bit so they sound the way I want them to sound, a good piano feel on the keys (I need that because I just can't get used to play on non-weighted keys) and something that's not that hard to learn to use and program.
Thanks in advance for the help you can give me, and sorry for asking this, I know that a lot of you are already sick of this kind of questions, but I'm just desperate! :D
