As an electronic music beginner hoping to create original dub, breakbeat, reggae, jazz, r&b, melting pot songs, with the ability to produce all the tracks, from the drum and bass lines, to the melody/ instrumentals, it seems there are countless ways to approach equipment selection.

recommendations so far have been
1. Korg Trinity with akai s2000 sampler
2. Korg Karma with akai s2000 sampler
3. Korg Triton Pro
4. everything else

any suggestions?
