which synth/ keyboard : need advise

[asha]

Hello

I need advise which synth. I can buy best.
I want to play without a pc
Need lots of good sounds
Retro 80 sounds
Easy to use
Using for home (Iam not a professional).

I read a lot about the Roland D50? Is that something for me? Or juno analog 106?

Thanks a lot!!

Check out the just released Casio XW-P1. Awesome synth for only $500. Got mine 3 days ago and love it.

bassman - welcom to the forum - fancy doing a quick review - how it matches up to other stuff you've had?

I'm sure there are plenty of us on here who've heard about it and are interested.

Here's a great video.

If you're looking for great sound and easy to use this board is fantastic. The pianos are not great, but that's why I have my SV-1. What I really love is the weight. 11 lbs!!!

Have you considered a Kurzweil PC3? the 61 key (PC361) have been blowing out at $1000. Listen to this with a real good set of headphones:
