Hoping someone can assist.
If I wanted to, could I buy a controller and a sound module and have that work just like a stand-alone (Example, QS8, S03, PK6) keyboard/synth unit?
Meaning, what I really need is to be able to play through speakers, no computer for live performance, or into my sound card for home recording. I don't want to be limited to one sound set.
So, is my best bet to buy a controller and sound module separate? I don't understand MIDI at all, so I am not sure what kind of controller and sound module I would need.
Also, do most of these sound modules have standard line out jacks that could go into sound cards? I have a decent enough sound card and have used an alesis QS8 for recording in the past.
If, after all this, my best option is still a key/synth all in one, is the E-MU PK-6 or Vintage Keys a decent enough choice? If not, what would you pick over that in this price range? $400-600
I record pop, blues, some electronic stuff and/or downtempo stuff...You know, a mix...no hip hop...but, sampled pianos, organs, and maybe basses are top priority. Suggestion welcome.
Thanks guys...sorry for the newbieness....
