Cheap small keyboard for occasional practices

Hi Andy,

maybe a 2nd hand Korg Triton Le ? Or Korg X50 ?

Lightweighted and sounds good enough for occasional rehearsals.

Hi Andy,
I think a Micro Korg would also be an idea (or a X50 - with very similar sound set).
That board is powerful enough for almost any situation (stunning arps), will add a different colour to your Roland pallete and it's very small and light.

Cheers,
Paulo

P.S: A juno Gi or a Juno Di also crossed my mind

Hey Andy,

I was just thinking the same thing as I find I often leave my X6 in my car between rehearsals and would prefer to not do that. If you want to add something different to your rig then I would definitely add something with arps or animation and different effects such as the vocoder such as a Radias.

Cheap keyboard/synth for Fantom X user to use for occasional rehearsals ? I guess I would say : a "classic" Fantom G7

Really, any of the latest Junos would probably cost you as much a used good synth. But if you want to get different type of sound source I would probably go for a used Korg Triton. Probably a TR. It has a decent keyboard, good sound, and is well built. The X50 has a crappy keyboard and the display is too small. Any "micro" from Korg would also sound good but you can do serious playing with those mini-keyboards. Kurweil also sounds good to me but I'm not experienced with those.

Thanks folks. I want something small & light that can (sort of) replicate what I currently do on my X-7. Certainly, something with organs, EPs and decent synth sounds.

I'll try to get to a store and check some out )

No! Wait, Andy, wait!!!

I am terribly sorry it took me so long to reply to your original question:

I'm looking for a cheap keyboard/synth… small enough to leave in the boot… but I don't want inbuilt speakers. Has anyone got any recommendations or things to avoid?

The Juno's and Korg's are much too large to fit in a boot. You need something smaller, such as Gork's Notmoron…

...but I don't want inbuilt speakers

Oops!

Well, it does have only one speaker. That would not count as speakers, would it?

mutters under breath

Darn that V-CeeOh

I have a Korg N5ex for sale for £200 - aftertouch and thousands of voices.In mint condition with original box, manual, PSU etc. Very lightweight - I'm sure it would suit you. It doesn't have speakers!
