...so a combination of a PA1X or G70 or Tyros 2 plus my MC909 should be a winning combination for hiphop R&B etc? i agree that you need good sounds but more thna this I think that you need attitude - and that comes from the syles. I have a Boss DR202 and some of the drum beats are quite inspiring and it is fairly easy to get a groove going. My main interest in the arranger keyboards I am realising will be for latin and jazz styles that I love but cannot play very well.
