Buying a new keyboard. Help!

[Navaneeth]

So I'm looking to buy a new keyboard, preferably below 1800$. I'm looking for something which I can create my own music with by singing into a microphone connected to the keyboard. Something with vocal modulation features, multi track recording, ability to edit/loop tracks and a good MIDI sequencer. I really liked the Roland Juno Gi but its drawbacks like not having a MIDI sequencer and not supporting a USB is a dealbreaker. I'm not specific on one particular brand. Roland, Korg, Yamaha, anything is fine as long as it fits the requirements and is within the pro\ice range. Please help me out!

If I were you I wouldn't be so quick to write off a keyboard for lack of a sequencer.

For that matter, sequencing and multitrack recordings are things which are best left to being done on a computer, not on the keyboard itself.

In the price range you mention the top contenders I would consider are the

Kurzweil PC3LE8

Korg Krome 88

or the Yamaha MOX8

For multitrack recording and effects I'd suggest running it all thru a Behringer 1202FX Mixer to feed your amp, speakers and computer DAW to record.
