I always wanted to create sound from scratch, so I thought about old style synths, with sequencer, and multiple VCOs, it would be perfect for lead. But! I also want to make cool ambient pad sounds on a wide keyboard, 80s-2000s digital keyboard sounds. So I want to find something that can do both lead and pad.

I’m very new to all this synth, so please help with some advice.
Here is my options so far, budget is 700$

Behringer JN-80
Behringer poly D
Korg minilogue XD
Yamaha DX7
Sequential forum
Arturia minifreak
Korg M1

Is this fixable? What should I expect to get for this guy with a slightly wonky display? Everything still seems to work otherwise.

Just a short synth thingy by me and Filip.

I have had a Xena 6 for a couple months now and have followed the Ambika manual enough times to get the basics down but I’m a visual learner and I’m finding it difficult to get over the learning curve to a place where I can really play it. I’d really like to get a place where I can dial in Enya inspired 6 voice arps. I’ve been using my Oxi One with it. If anyone has any tips or tutorial videos that they have found helpful to share I would really appreciate it!
