Hi guys, I'm stuck on whether to buy a Yamaha XS Motif or a Roland JP8000. I'm looking for one that can produce 80's synth sounds like Psychedelic Furs, New Order, Depeche Mode, A Flock of Seagulls, etc.
What is the difference between the two keyboards? Which is better and why?
This is also going to be my first electronic keyboard. I have no previous experience with them but I catch on really quick, because I have a lot of musical knowledge (I play guitar, bass, and drums and have been for 6 years). I have a grand piano at home that sounds nice and I wish to create some nice 80's tunes with an electronic one. I need one that sounds nice, not with cheap sounding voices.
Also, is it better to purchase a keyboard ACTUALLY from the 80s (cheaper price too) or not?? what are the pros and cons of that?
Any and all advice/ pointers welcome.
