hey all,
sorry for all the posts.. I'm trying to figure out the best approach here. Basically, I'm getting back into keyboards after a long break. Used to have a Korg M1 and loved it. I recently planned to try a midi controller so I could have a nice weighted 88 key controller and use ipad/iOS DAW... nice in theory but my 2014 ipad isn't up to the task. So, when I thought about the cost of the controller plus a new ipad or laptop, I decided to go back to drawing board and perhaps spend more upfront on the keyboard.
I've been playing around with the yamaha MX 88 at local music shop.. love the feel and sounds. BUT.. doesn't have a sequencer. Then I played around with the Yamaha MODX--- I think it has a sequencer though they call it something else and it wasn't all that intuitive.
Was just researching online and I saw the Roland Juno 88 weighted key.. has sequencer.. expandable sounds..
I'm just looking for some advice: I'd like a weighted 88 keyboard with good sounds and a sequencer. I don't need all the fancy arpeggio stuff-- I don't want the automatic drum function that the MX 88 has. I want to make all my own stuff but hopefully without having to use a laptop/iPad. Any input here?
Thanks
