OldSynths

Hey all,

Well, I'm certainly glad to be a member of this group--especially 
after slogging through all the spam plaguing 'oldsynth'!

Anyway, here's my story.. I'm currently playing synth (keytar) in an 
80s cover band.  Right now I am using an Emu Vintage Keys (the old 
one) and a Yamaha TX7 (basically a DX7 in a module).  Right now I 
have a 1U slot left in my rack that I am considering filling with 
another sound module.  Any suggestions on what I should pick?  

We do a lot of new wave 80s stuff--and I am considering putting 
something analog (or hybrid analog in there).  Maybe an Oberheim 
Matrix 1000 or a Roland MKS-50.  Any other recommendations?  A friend 
told me his Matrix 1000 sounded too thin in a mix--I tried one in 
headphones and really liked the sound.  I love my TX7 (it sounds 
great!) so I am leaning towards older gear.. Still, there are some 
newer pieces of equipment that might be good as well--like an Alesis 
QSR with a Vintage Synth card perhaps..

Any recommendations?  

Thanks!
