my suggestion...
try software synths first. move to hardware synths if you like it and get better. groove boxes are useless/needless for psy, in my opinion. if you like the 909, get a sample cd.
edit: check some of the sticky threads on the top of this forum. they'll help. The IsraTrance MySpace Group:

If you live in 1997 it is an advantage  I have the 505 for 8 years now and it sucks (now) for making psytrance, believe me. (And those pro: don't start with 'you have to tweak it right") These days you're much better off learning a soft sequencer and soft synths, maybe then after buying monitors 'n all you can buy some decent hardware synth. Big nono imo those grooveboxes these days(though I learned quite a lot about programming on that 505). |

Just get sample library of this groove box, groove boxes not that usefull unless you perform live and drums is the only thing you do. This thing is dying! |

Totally redundant. Unless you are playing live or dj with it.

Only if u get it for free 
Else save the money and use it for pc and software.
Even for playing live a notebook is better. Best one only for drums and perc

i would spend the money into a midi-controler.
in combination with the right software and maybe some samples you got much more for your money |

ok guys!!
thanks a lot... i though it would be a good idea to buy the groovebox =/
since i already have a nice lap top, midi controllers, and softwares, ill try to get a nice monitor =D
and then go for a synth... now i feel like killing the salesguy that told me that the 909 was the best hardware i could get my hand on... lolz
thanks a lot!!

never trust anyone that is trying to sell you something.
trust isratrance, your own personal jesus christ.
monitors are always a good choice for an investiment. make sure you have some money to throw around. i have been shopping around for months and i havnt been satisfied with budget monitors, so i must save my pennies. i suggest you investigate. The IsraTrance MySpace Group:

Try to invest more money in better monitors, i can't believe you wanted to buy MC-909 which costs much more than dm20. Try to invest at least 500$ on decent monitors. Try Yamaha MSP5 if you have no 500$, they are way better than Roland's. |
