I am looking to upgrade my keyboard gear. I am in a couple of bands and covering everything from Queen and Pink Floyd to 80s pop and some more recent tunes like Uptown Funk and Shut Up and Dance. I also get asked to be in pit bands and sometimes have to cover string sections and orchestral pieces.
Somehow I've been eking by with a Roland Juno Stage and an Alesis QS6 (both of which I bought new). But I'm a stickler for getting the "right" sound and my 2 old boards just aren't cutting it anymore. I'm trying to find that sweet spot between great sound/feel, weight, and price. Was thinking of a Nord or Korg Kronos on the bottom plus perhaps a Behringer Deepmind 12 on top, but I don't want to spend time between songs fiddling with nobs and sliders, and I'd like to minimize the time I have to spend programming a complicated work station.
What keyboard(s) would you recommend I consider?
Thanks!
