sup guys would need your opinion on what to get tyros 5 or PA3x,i know the tyros is current but which do i go in terms of sounds and styles for hip hop production?
I doubt anyone here uses either of those but i have played with a tyros and it was fun but not sure if i would want it for my main production tool i think the a fantom or other workstation would give you all you need and at about half the cost. but if you get one i would love to hear some tracks made from it so keep us posted.
While I'm not using it as much these days, the Roland Juno G has served me very well. Same synth engine as the Fantom-X. Great sounds, some pretty cool features, and can record four-tracks of audio (although in my opinion, this is not it's strong point-- it has a very high rendering time; bring a sandwich).
The latest version I know of is the Juno Gi (and it has 8-tracks of audio).
