OK... just so I am clear on this... are you guys saying that I'd be better off using just the software synths/sequencers for this type of music? Or that using some of the goods ones in conjunction with a decent keyboard is the way to go? The main reason that I like the Juno-G is that it has all of the features that I want on board, but it sounds like you're saying that most of these are better using soft synth packages? If this is true, then I could get by with a cheaper KB... say the Juno-D... and still not be losing much?

I haven't done exhaustive research on the software end yet, but the few packages I looked at were around $500, which is going to get really epxensive if I have to have 2-3 of them to achieve everything I want.

Oh, and what can you say about Sonar LE? This is currently bundled with the Juno-G. Is that a decent piece of software?

Thanks again for your help!
