I have decided to go down the new route but with a limited budget and it is getting confusing so I am now asking for help and advice from the guru's here.
i am looking for a board that has decent piano samples some arps and a sequencer that can at least loop. I am crossing over from arranger style playing to more piano based but I would like to keep some of the functions from the arranger idea. I would like some form of chord recognition accross the whole board IE it makes the chords out of what notes I am playing. some drum tracks and if poss some backings for the rythm.
I also need this to act as a sound source for my fatar controller so key action is'nt top of the list but I have read somwhere that the MM6 struggles in this area does someone on here know about this.
If there are any glareing choices that I have overlooked please let me know. The budget is 400uk I know I could look at ebay etc for a used motif, x50 But I am unsure about ebay as I bought an arranger off there six months ago and it has just gone bang so I am dubious about used gear as this will have to last me for a good few years.
Choices
Yamaha MM6
Good looking keyboard some good functions but it does seem limited IE. no support for slashed chords, No ability to store user patterns, only a few of the motif sounds, But I do like the idea of bieng able to play the whole board piano style and it fills in rythem and bass parts in it also seems to have a good if limited appregiator
Or do I leave my comfort zone go without pre set backings learn to use cubase and buy a korg X50 which is just in budget. I know that it doe'snt include a sequencer but on the yammy mm6 this is just a sketchpad anyway.
Again I know knothing about it really
many thanks in advance
