Mabuhay! I'm from the Philippines

Let me say "Mabuhay!" to everyone here in keyboardforums.com!

I'm Marvin Ong, a singer and recording artist from the Philippines. I just passed by to ask everyone what your recommendations are as far as keyboards and synths are concerned.

I'm planning to use the keyboard as live accompaniment as well as for studio purposes.

The keyboards in my list so far are:

Roland Fantom G6
and
Roland Fantom X6

I hope you guys can give me some other brands worth looking at, or if the ones I listed are good enough!

Cheers!

Hi and welcome to the forums!

First read this: http://www.keyboardforums.com/articles-f84.html

And then, if you have the money for the G6 - also consider Yamaha XS/XF, and Korg M3.

But as I said... read the articles first just to see what you're getting into

Hi Skipp!

Thanks so much for the articles. I think I've found the perfect workstation/performance keyboard for me.

What do you think of the XS7?

Here in the Philippines, the XS7 and the Roland Fantom G6 are the same price.

Based on the articles you've written (which are great btw), I find the XS7 to be better. Not to mention, an additional octave and some.

Would you agree that I choose the XS7 over the G6?

Cheers!

i would suggest the xs7 over the g6!

I'd take a Yamaha keyboard over Roland any day - the extra octave is just a bonus

I finally got it!
