Has anyone seen or used the new small Moog synthesizer (possibly marketed by Radio Shack)? I saw an article about it but haven't tracked it down yet; it sounded very nice. I am interested in purchasing a keyboard instrument, thus my interest. It has to be something within my budget (grad student) and my style of living (dorm room). Suggestions are welcome; a Fender Rhodes (my first thought) seems prohibitively expensive, especially when you add a decent amp. I am really only interested in instruments with a standard keyboard, so the new Casio instrument/calculator is out. (See, I'm really flexible -- I had considered both ends of the scale.) I read in Comp. Music Jrnl about the higher end Casio synthesizers; anyone have experience with them they'd care to relate? I am both interested in an instrument that could be used for performance and/or computer aided synthesis and/or random improvisation. The Moog seems to win on all three, but the 2 1/2 octave keyboard scares me away a little....
