Hey, thanks for the replies.

I understand what you mean about preferring a "real" instrument, although i guess im more interested in having the authentic piano feel and decent, high quality sounds - however theyre produced.

To get this am i right in thinking that it would be cost effective to get a decent weighted 88 controller and an add on synth box? I dont mind about having to plug the midi cables in...

Is there any other obvious disadvantages im missing out on??

thanks again for your help!!

Sam.

Korg4god, I like the look of your setup, especially the idea of using an arranger and a 88 key board to play on, i myself prefer the fully weighted keys Thanks for advice!
