Hello,
I need your help to know what keyboard could correspond to my need:
I'm looking for something VERY SMALL 2 or 3 octaves max with standard keys. I need at least 4 polyphony and a headphones jack (big or small don't matter).
My dream would be the Nord Modular but my budget is extremely tight (300$ = 150Pounds max). And the monophonic synths like the novation bass station can't play chords. I don't mind something old but it musn't weigh too much (I plan on carying it everywhere).
I hope you have some ideas for me! Thank you for your help!

Frederic

Look for a used "Roland SK-88Pro" keyboard.
It is lightweight,has 3 octaves, 64 note
polyphony,1117 sounds, 42 drumkits,& features galore. The only bad thing is that it does not have any performance bank memory-so you have to send it program/bank select messages -OR-
you can set different sounds on different
PARTS and use the Scroll UP/DOWN buttons.
It blows the sox off any board of it's size.
They still may have some new ones left in
Europe.
