My ideal set-up would be a 76 key keyboard about 30LBS.
It will have at least a 120gig hard drive, a gig of ram that could be expanded to 4 or 5, a full sampler and sample reader, a comprehensive sequencer with at least 24 audio tracks, good and realistic sounds even the general midi bank, the ability to use VST and other third part sound libraries, full sound editing, styles and a easy to use style sequencer where you can use audio loops, lots of effects, full EQ for each track whether sequencer or styles CD and DVD player and writer, full midi implementation, 4 midi in out threw, 4 USB 2.0 ports Bluetooth for wirelessly connecting to other devices and for transferring files, pitch and mod joystick, it should be able to have a multi foot pedal switch connected to it, 10 audio ins and outs (2 should be XLR with power) so you will be able to get a different out for vocals and 2 head phone jacks. It should be a fast machine. I should be able to connect a PC keyboard and a computer monitor.

These are just some of the major things I think a real keyboard in today’s market should have.


I could name 4 things off the top of my head it should not have
internet connection,
touch screen
speakers
and a floppy drive.


Well that was a nice dream….. Back to reality.

Although maybe in the next 3 years such a keyboard would exist.
