Ahh, I didn't even know the difference, I'll check it out, thanks Something like that can be used with a midi keyboard?

I've been inspired by many of the mixes on this website (among other places), to try my hand at the synthesizer. Unfortunately, I know little about them at all. I am an active bassist, and know a decent amount of piano and recording techniques, I just know nothing about the synths themselves. It seems to me best (cheaptest) to buy a MIDI keyboard and synth software. Could anyone give me some advice, what's good and what to avoid? I'd be using the synth mostly for sting and choir sounds, along with "real instrument sounds" (bells, guitar, piano, etc). Its also probably worht mentioning, I'm on a butget, preferably less than 500$ I'd appreciate any help!
