Hi everyone... Joined to gain some insight from people in the know before making a purchasing decision.
I am looking for a setup that I can quickly sit down at the keys and record/save ideas when practicing WITHOUT having to use my laptop. I have Cubase LE and can fumble my way through it but I don't wont to have to use it until I have a firm idea that is worth firing it up for.
I would like to have something with 88 keys and a graded hammer action keybed. A good piano sample would be the most important as far as sounds. Realistic drum samples/rhythms are next probably as that is my starting point most of the time.
I have spent countless hours looking for a workstation that has a decent sequencer but unless I am willing to spend $3,000 there doesn't seem to be any. The Korg Krome seems to be the closest with a reasonable price but after watching the sequencer tutorial I think it would actually be more of a pain to use than using Cubase! Looks really clunky as far as navigating and editing in the piano and drum roll which is what I do alot of ie; step recording.
There just doesn't seem to be any options, maybe because DAW software has made workstations less practical... dunno.
Any ideas or insight would be greatly appreciated.
