I'd say try to get a used Minitaur somewhere (or even new actually, they're well within your price range). 100 presets, HUUUUUGE bass, compact as compact can be, very user-friendly. Moog. Can't go wrong.

consider getting an ipad - load it up with animoog, csgrain, ppg wavegenerator, noisemusick, glitchbreaks, ellipsynth, specsynth, etc.

there are TONS of synths in that price range.

If it helps as justification, I was under the impression you already bought one.

I'm guessing you want an analog synth or not?

Realistic MG-1! Vintage Moog analogue mono synth for cheap, I bought mine for $450 about a year ago, and it's a great beginner synth since it's not stupidly complex.

Arturia MiniBrute, or Moog Minitaur, or Slim Phatty, if you have a midi controller. I would probably go for the 'brute or slim phatty first, because while the minitaur is awesome, it doesnt go very high. Like, srsly, the notes stop responding after a certain point.

Up to C5 to be exact. It's pretty specialized in that respect.

^whats up with that? i know its a bass synth, but would it really kill the thing to add the higher registers?
sometimes basses are great leads n shit. C5 is pretty high tho

To quote from another forum:
"The limit is due to circuitry. Moog went to great lengths to replicate the original Taurus pedals. The oscillators were v/hz in contrast to the more common v/oct. V/hz is cheaper to build, lent itself easily to the one octave pedalboard, and lack of LFO/pitch bend (in the original) did not require v/oct. But V/hz has a smaller pitch range because the voltage doubles for every octave and you quickly reach the power supply voltage, and you can't go higher than that. That's why it has an upper limit."
Also I suspect it's somewhat to maintain the relevance of the rest of their line, because a full-range synth in that small a box that would be compatible with a 61-key would just WRECK.
