Well something under a $1,000.00.

I think I confused a few people here. I was just wanteing to know whether or not manufactures were still making Keyboard samplers anymore. When I wrote this topic I was not really looking for a sampler, I was just courious about whether keyboard samplers were being made or not. That was all.

Ed this was NOT a sudden mind change on my part. It was just a simple question. That was all.

Sorry for the confusion.

Okay here is a list of keyboards that I like.

Access Virus Indigo
Kawai K5000s
Korg MS2000
Korg Triton Le
Ensoniq ASR 88
Ensoniq KS 32
Minimoog
Minimoog Voyager
Novation KS4
Roland JP8000
Roland XP-80
Yamaha CS1X

I think you should try them all.
I'm stil going for a .com synth though!

-ED-

Well I do like the Triton Le, and I would like to try the Voyager.

Demoed a Triton Le for the second time. Wonder if that means something?

Hmmm...
May be.But I'm not sure.
What are you gonna do with the Triton LE if you buy it?
Remember, it's not a toy.

-ED-

Well you do have a point there. That could be why I have not bought a workstation. I think it's becuse it is a serious tool, and I am not a serious musician, and that is what is preventing me from buying the Triton. I want to be serious about music, but you and I both know that is not true. It's better to want it rather then actually have it.


You wouldn't happen to have any other suggestions?

Suggestions...
If you want to become serious about music, then you have to TRY TRY TRY TRY TRY and TRY again. If all failes still kee trying.
So you can potentially get a Triton or something like it and use it as a tool for learning about music.
Your problem now is that you like the idea of playing synths, but you are a bit discouraged by lack of certain knowledge. Or better phrased turned off by the fact that you have to learn. May be even afraid to learn 'cause you feel that you might fail.
Since yoo don't have much knowledge about music making at this point, you can't really rlate to music making process. You can't be possibly attracted by something that you can't identify with.
All you really have to do is learn just enough to be able to relate to things.
Suddenly you'll find that certain buzzwords and terms become more than just meaningless and boring stuff. "The more you know, the more you can relate to.The more you can relate to, the more interesting life becomes."
So put all the fears and doubts aside and start playing again.
Treat any difficulties as just a stage in a learning process, NOT as a dead end.
So if you don't play a keyboard like Billie Joel or sequence and create arrangements like Wendy Carlos - don't let that bother you. KEEP TRYING.

Well, that's if you want to do anything with music.

-ED-

My problem is I am not approching playing music with an open mind. What I need to do is approch playing music in a way that is both fun and meaningful too me.
