Just a note to say Hello from the far South-East corner of London, England. I'm in my late 40s and had a few piano lessons when I was kid, but didn't play for years and can't claim to be virtuoso or anything. A couple of years ago, I decided to get a couple of keyboards just to tinkle about on and am currently the proud owner of... Novation X-Station 25 - for bass lines, lead lines and everything in between. Roland XP-60 (fully expanded) - an a general sound bank, with sequencing capabilities. Korg Z1 - a recent purchase, still to be explored. ...which I run through an old Yamaha AW2816. I'm looking for... Akai MPC500 - as a portable sampler / beatmaker. Zoom RFX-2000 - a decent reverb for a decent price. Zoom H2 - to take samples and live recordings with. Decent speakers - probably Tannoy Reveals, if some come up for the right price on eBay. ...after which, I've promised her I won't buy any more gear - honest
