What's a good, cheap synth? I don't mind some of the

Are you planning on actually making music or jus experimenting a bit? Try getting a DAW and some synth vsts, theres some close sounding recreations so you can try to find what you like, but you may find that to be enough.

Kind of both. I already have a few but idk man, it doesn't scratch the itch I desire for some reason. They either sound way too modern and just lack character (Serum is pretty good though, thinking about Omnisphere) and are way too loud or are just kind of dull. Some of the emulations are okay, I like the Korg M1 but the Juno-60 one was pretty disappointing to me.

I'd be willing to shell out some big bucks for a 'proper' synth in the future, but right now i'm just keen to find some second-hand, 'forgotten' kinda of synths, if you get what I mean? I also like actually having an instrument rather than just a Midi controller, the keys are generally way better quality feeling, and it's kind of trivial but it's just more fun messing around with the knobs on a synth rather than a screen, that's just me though.

I'm getting to a point now where the only VSTs i'm interested in are stuff hardware synths could never do, or really struggle to emulate. I know it's not an VST, but Max/MSP comes to mind.
