Members EJC Posted November 24, 2008 Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 OK bad economy and all Im thinking of my first synth/ws. All I want to do is sequence a few tracks to my live piano. No gigs,just my living room. Budget says under $1000. Thinking of the MM6 or the Roland GW7-8. Any other suggestions?Really dont want to get involved with computer sequencing,at age 56 I simply dont have the patience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of the MM6 ! The MM6 sequencer probably won't fit your needs. It's more of a "scratchpad" and cant do basic things like quantize. It also can't pan sounds, no step sequencing, no overdubbing/punching in. It's just for getting some ideas down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members evildragon Posted November 24, 2008 Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 M50 maybe? Can be 88 keys for a buck more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xmlguy Posted November 25, 2008 Members Share Posted November 25, 2008 The Juno-G is probably the best all-round synth with workstation capability under $1000, except for used gear. See if you can find a used Fantom X6 or Triton Extreme 66 in the same price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mildbill Posted November 25, 2008 Members Share Posted November 25, 2008 ....Really dont want to get involved with computer sequencing,at age 56 I simply dont have the patience! Sequencing with a computer is far easier than any keyboards sequencer I've ever used. I should qualify that - editing is far easier. A keyboard, you can usually just pick a track and hit 'record'. But unless you're a fairly proficient player, the real work (and IMO, a big part of the creative work), starts after that. And that's when a computer is easier.
