thanks for you're feedbacks...Right now, I've been using Reason to make rap beats. It works great, but I hate sitting on a computer making beats. Even though I use a midi controller, its not the same as using a keyboard to make beats. When I used to use my KN1200 I was able to do more, because when your using software, its like you can't play the way you play on a keyboard. I'm really not a fan of Korg or Roland, I've been using Technics for years. This KN2600 has over 1000 tones, and 34 drum kits which you can tweak and edit the sounds. Don't you guys think this is enough to get a rap beat going? I mean I used a 12 year old KN1200 with 200 mostly garbage tones and 10 awful drum kits to make beats and they came out alright. So overall is the KN2600 a good choice?
