Best Answer

Alesis Andromeda - Probably the best modern analogue synth Virus TI - the most advanced modern non analogue synth Moog Minimoog - the classic analogue synth All of these will set you back between $2500 - $3500. But there is no point buying them if you don't know anything about synths. Get a cheap synth or just use software synths to understand the basics first and then learn a whole lot more and you may be able to use these synths to their full potential.

A synthesizer uses electronic oscillators (or occasionally digital samples) to create an 'artificial' sound. Many have controls for mixing and modulating this to make unique timbres. Most have keyboards to control them, but rare examples such as the ondes martenot and trautonium use other systems.

Synthesisers can be used to emulate the sound of existing instruments or can be used to make completely new ones. They're very versatile. Modern synthesisers will often have additional sound processing modules such as attack and decay control, distortion or multiple oscillators.

Possibly the most famous synthesizer ever made is the MiniMoog made by Moog, and has featured on countless recordings from classical renditions to abstract rock.
