Synth Site |  Ensoniq |  SQ1 Workstation

This was my first "real" synth and is an excellent beginner's workstation. The sequencer, although limited, is a breeze to use. The voice architecture is very flexible -- almost anything can modulate anything else. The samples are very clean and realistic, so it isn't suited for every style of music -- no good for techno! But as a student looking for a workstation that had "everything" at an affordable price, this was a great buy, and has given me several years of enjoyable service.
