Hi
Ive been looking around and trying to decide what keyboard would be right for me and Im in desperate need of some advice from some people who know.
Some info: This will be my first keyboard (s), Im not overly tech-savvy, dont know much about MIDI though I am pretty good on the computer. My budget is around $1000.oo and I'm not averse to buying 1 or 2 older used ones if thats better. Old or new is fine. What I need is a) a decent quality digital piano. I want to be able to learn to play real piano stuff. I dont care necessarily about weighted keys as it seems likely that lighter keys will be easier to play but I do want a good piano sound. b) I also need to be able to do some really noisy raunchy stuff as well. Preferrably with samples so maybe something with the ability to read files on disc or memory that I can load in either off the computer or disc. It would be nice to be able to interface with Reason or some such to do some things too. Im really looking to have the ability to sound super nice and clean with a real rich piano sound on one board and get downright vile on another one. Or maybe there is one keyboard that will do it all. I like some roland stuff and Yamaha but would really like to get some direct input from some knowledgeable folks in reference to my actual needs to help point me in the right direction.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
