if u want to learn basic piano/ keyboard, probably you should just get a starter keyboard from casio with the notes/ chord/ arpeggios display functions...

if you're talking metal sound-wise, there's 2nd hand older-model synths like starting at $250...

mm6 on sale at yamaha... $760... has real-time knobs and pitch bend/ modulation... if you can afford it, maybe a foot controller would help too...

if u can afford straightaway the mm6 is good buy... or else just get a 2nd-hand anything to practise first is good enough... then you can save up for something really worth having
