Decisions Roland versus Nord

[Funky Grooves]

Looking at my first keyboard. I really like the build, EP and, organ sounds of the Nord Electro 5. I like some of the "other sounds" of the Roland VR-730 as well as the fact that it does have some preset rhythms tracks,looping and is about $1000.00 less than the. What type of "equipment" could I add to the Electro 5D 73 to provide myself with some basic backing tracks when I am at home messing around with the keyboard? Hope this question makes sense.

A couple of things you could add to create your rhythm section would be

An Alesis SR-18 or SR-16

Roland Boss DR-880

Zoom ARQ AR-96

Korg Electribe 2

Native Instruments Maschine

And there's all sort s of used drum boxes and step sequencers on Craigslist and Ebay.
