I plan to construct a new studio and im producing HappyHardCore Trance Hardtrance D&B and those styles ;), now my budget consists of 7000$ with this in mind i wanted to buy some hardware synthesizer... and of course good speaker ;) here i'll choose Fostex or Rock It but im not sure about the other gear...
I already read a few thread's about synths in this forum before, but im not sure if this stuff is applicative enough for my intentions and i dont know if there're any new synths being up to my mark...

I'll post more later, but for now, there is one synth you should definately get, and that's the Access Virus C, although any Virus would be good, i'm sure you already know of it, but it's the best synth there is for any style of Trance (apart from the Roland JP8000), and its an extremely versatile, if you are going to get only one synth it should definately be that :) Most if not all big producers have a Virus :)

thank u for ur advice i'll buy a virus TI desktop or the KC then : )...
for more flexibility (if possible ^^), if there are other good synths especially for softy face sounds etc. (but i think the virus also masters those performances like hard and soft sounds) and fun i willingly want to buy more synths ; )...

7000 dollars! Damn... Buy good monitors and a digital mixing desk.. a virus T1 might a good investment... also you might want to consider sound proofing and pro studio desks and racks as it's a hard job to do and best to do when your starting your studio. But depends on how serious you are about things.
it's all hardcore.

I highly recommend good sound proofing, it's amazing how different a tune can sound in a room and on a system.
I'd definitely pick up a ti, if you like analog you should try out a minimoog voyager.

i checked out a minimoog voyager last week its amazing... really good sound and its easy to use... i also ordered my virus TI now... another very fantastic synth (or rack) in my mind would be
"Novations Supernova II Rack"
and my friend got many new sounds 4 it, also grungy sounds etc...
the only thing is im not an expert in things like digital mixers... any propositions?

Something you should definatrly see is this (f you havn't already):
http://www.sonicstate.com/news/shownews.cfm?newsid=1960
It's a demo of the Virus TI :)
I'm not sure you would find much use for the Supernova II if you have a Virus, as it could do the sound sounds and more, i think it just depends on if you like how it sounds or not :)
If you like older Hardcore (1994-1999) then a Roland Alpha Juno (1 or 2, they are virually the same) is something definarely worth buying, it was used very very widely in HappyHardcore, i can't think of many songs that didn't feature an Alpha Juno (or samples of) in :)
They sell for around £120 - £180 on ebay, so its a real bargain :) I've still yet to get one myself.
