Jon, I think you have to give other people's opinions a little more credit. I
have known plenty of people who have used and\or bought k2000s and came away
saying "ick". Me being one of them. I know you find this hard to believe, but
alot of people think differently than you do. Now this does not mean that you
are a moron for liking a k2000 or that my opinion is better than yours, I am
just saying that the k2000 is not for everybody.
Blanket statements rarely bear close scrutiny.

Funny, you just described my EMS Synthi AKS. And that is considered one of the
best synths ever made by many people. And my PPG2.3, prophet 5, memorymoog and
Oberheim 2 voice. All considered to be some of the best ever by a large
portion of the synth crowd. But i guess none of those stand up when "living in
1996 and all that".

Well i can name (tho i won't) quite a few successful producers (that everyone
here would recognize) of electronic music that would totally disagree with you
here. It might not do much for you, but for quite a few people it works quite
nicely.

Someone needs a lesson in FM (or phase modulation or whatever casio calls their
flavor of it). A lesson in being open minded might help as well.

please do.
It is great for people wanting to get into music to ask advice about what to
get, but my advice is to take all the reccomendations you see on the net with a
grain of salt. Alot of producers can be pretty closed minded about music and
will try to make you think there is only 1 way to do things. that is simply not
true. The only way to make music is to do it in a way that is comfortable to
the producer, and only you can decide what that way is. Certainly take into
account gear discussions but if at all possible try the various pieces of gear
out yourself before you buy. What works for kent will not work for me and what
works for me certainly does not work for jon. Find out what works for you
through personal experience, not simply by listening to another producer's
biases. Use advice as simply that: advice. not as law.
