Ok here's the deal...
I have been checking around because I want a good synth and I know that I am going to have to pay at least 1200 bucks for it. Now my question is this what would be the difference in me getting a Triton/Trinity for 1500 and up verses me getting two keyboards choosing from jp8000, x5d, xp-30, qs 6.1 or 7.1, cs2x, n5ex or a keyboard and sound module combo. I gues I am trying to figure out value is the triton/trinity line even better than any two keyboards?
And also is it worth getting a groove/rhythm box and keyboard or keybord/sound module combo.
The reason I am going on like this is because I got this er-1 yesterday and i am thinking of just taking it back and getting a xp-30 or something I can do more with ....

Hello,
I read your posting and decided to add my two cents on this subject. I used two units in my studio for the most of stuff I make - one is a synth and another is sampler remix workstation and it worked very well!
In this case, I had the best of both worlds - any audio loops that I like and the anolog-like synthesis for everything else. Now I am moving up, I got some cash from the tracks I've made, and I am selling my Roland SP-808PRO Sampling Workstation, switching to a bigger sampler. I don't write it, that you will buy it from me :-), but rather to give you an idea, that this type of setup is working great! I also use Roland JP-8000 - boy, I love this machine! These days, it is very handy to have some type of sampler - it gives you much wider range of sounds and drum loops etc. In combination with a good synth it works perfect!
Anyway, just a thought...
