Keyboard with multi-track recorder

[Frickinstein]

Hi

I'm new to the forum and wonder if I could have some advice on purchasing a keyboard (in the UK).

As far as requirements go, I want a MIDI interface (old school or USB) and a built in multi-track sequencer. I haven't had a keyboard for many years, but back then I used to use sequencers on the PC, however, I'd like a keyboard with something built in, just for convenience.

The budget is very low end at first, with the idea being to upgrade when I outgrow it. One example I've looked at is the Yamaha PSR-E413 due to reading about it having an eight track sequencer, but everywhere I look for them doesn't mention a multi-track sequencer at all.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

The PSR-E413 and 423 (its successor) has a very primitive "record" function. It doesn't let you edit notes etc - just record your playing on up to 5 individual tracks.

See page 52 of the Manual for the E413. Go to the link below and click "Support"

E423 manual here (again click the support tab):

I use a Casio CTK-7000 - both it and the lower CTK-6000 has a more "traditional" sequencer on it (step edit, event edit etc) - albeit with navigaiton that will drive you nuts. Manuals etc at:
