I'm putting together a home digital recording solution. As part of the setup, I am looking to buy a fairly inexpensive keyboard for MIDI sequencing (drums, bass and effects) as well as playing.
I've been looking at the Yamaha PSR-540 for a while, as it has a reasonable price ($400-$500) and all of the standard capabilities, as well as on-board sequencing and a floppy disk drive for MIDI files.
However, I was wondering if there is another, better option for about the same cost. I have looked at the Yamaha S03 and a Korg X5D, which both look like good units, and seem to offer customizeable sounds.
I am an experienced keyboard player, so full-sized keys are a must. Also, my budget is fairly flexible, but I would like to keep it under $1000. Any suggestions?
