Workstation advice needed !

[Pier Calacino]

Hi guys,

I am hoping you can steer me in the right direction here. I am looking to pick up a used workstation so that I can use it to create songs, save it to disk and also use it for feel-in with good strings and other sounds for some of my music. I know there is a learning curve with any workstation I pick-up, but of the ones I have mentioned, which one would provide the best value, give me the best sounds, ease of use and just the better all around synth/workstation ?

Kurzweil K2000
Roland XP-60
Roland XP-50
Korg N364

Thanks for your advise in advance !

Pier

Roland XP60 does all that. Built in strings patches are not tremendously good, but you can stick up to 4 expansion cards into it, and several card come with very good strings and other sounds.
