Keyboards?
I tried the Tech forum but maybe they know I'm a guitar player because I got zero response!
So I figured I'd try here as there might be a few punters who know a bit about keyboards as well as guitars (Goji sprang to mind for some reason!?). I've decided to buy myself a new keyboard but I'm no expert. What I'm after is something that combines analoguey sounds (I used to own a Roland SH-09 and an SH-101) and something that does all the multi-timbral stuff too. The last keyboard I owned was a Korg M1 and while I loved all the sounds it produced, I found the sequencing stuff very hard to get to grips with. So what do you recommend? Second-hand is more than acceptable. My budget is about 400 quid.

I've got a Yamaha PSR-8000 and frankly I don't understand half the things its meant to do. The manual is like a telephone directory.

A second hand Korg MS2000 is worth looking into.
It has a vocoder to play with too!

I'm a bit out of touch on the synthey side of things, but the last time I looked, unless you went fairly high-end, it was virtual analogue or bread and butter, not both. I'll stop now, as I suspect I sound like someone's grandfather.

Sub-£400 with buckets of sounds and a bit of flexibility? Roland Juno D, no question IMO. A DAMN sight less than £400 used as well, around £300-350 new.

Thanks guys - some really good advice there.
I really like the look of the Juno D and I've checked out the Yamaha MM6 too. The MM6 is favourite at the moment because of this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8E_bDg5ak9w It's not humanly possible to say "catagories" that fast is it?

Yamaha DGX520AD
This is an excellent 88 key piano for around $600USD.
