Accessible Electronic Keyboards & Synths
Hi, I'm new here, seeking advice and not finding many resources with much info on which keyboards totally blind musicians ar having the most accessibility with these days. It will make things less complicated if I provide the basics of what I need. I have about $800 to work with. I'm looking for 61 keys and up, something with great acoustic and electric piano sounds, as well as great organ patches. I'm in a classic rock band right now, so will need synth patches too, and will use Rhodes, Hamond, some clav, you get the idea. I would like weighted or semi-weighted keys, and if not, then touch sensitive. I need something lightweight. I do not necessarily need anything like a built-in sequencer, though if I can have it, they are nice for composing. Presets for live performances are a must. Now I'm no techie, but I'm relatively intelligent and can learn menus as needed. I will need to be able to select specific instruments, split the board, choose my split poin t, and layer instruments. Can anyone give me any suggestions in this price range? I'm willing to go withused and I know how to use Ebay. I've been told that the Yamaha MX61, the Motifs and MOX's can be mastered with some memorization of menus. I have also heard that Nord Electro 4's and 5's, Roland E-A7's and Roland FA's are good choices. However, many of these are out of my budget. I'm seeing quite a few Roland FA06's on Ebay as well as a couple of Yamaha MX61's. It would be nice to get 76 keys, but not sure I can. External speakers are not a mustt, and I do not want to have to have a laptop to worry about on top of everything else, I can tackle that possibility later. Anyone's thoughts will be very much appreciated. Btw, how user friendly are the Roland Juno GI's? A friend of mine has one, but I don't really care for the pianos.
