Do you guys bring your own keyboard to jamming sessions?

[direz]

I am just curious, and whether would i actually need to consider portablity as one of the factor in my purchase. Would i look weird carrying a keyboard to a jamming session? I dont think there is even stand provided for the keyboard do they

I have been looking for my 1st synthesizer for a very long time(about 6months ago i create one thread as well), but still have yet to decide. Have a budget of 1k, what would you guys recommend for a person who nvr touch a synthesizer before? Think should be a user friendly one, no menu digging and stuff. I am looking forward to jam oldies rock/pop. I doubt i need functions like sequencer or arpeggiators. I would consider midi controllers as well, i am quite familiarise with fruit loops although it is still a demo version. but i would be mainly jamming around, which means i need to either bring my laptop together around with the midi controller, or i would need a module?

Models that i consider within my budget for synthesizer: weighted keys, semi weighted, syn action are all fine by me, i used to play a unweighted keyboard so i am slightly towards syn action

Yamaha mm6 (massive amount of button look scary for me, and it seems extremely bulky)
Yamaha S03 (seems like a pretty old model)
Roland Sh-201(this synthesizer seems to be the only one that i could understand fully, pretty straight forward control buttons but 49 keys could be a restriction, 10 polyphonic could be a major letdown for me, since i do hope to cover some piano stuff?)
Roland juno d (seems like a pretty old model too, 2004 released?)
Alesis qs 6.2 (not much idea on this, heard it have excellent piano sounds)
Korg X50 (seems like a pretty old model too)

ah btw .... the only thing about not bringin your own things ... is that if you have ur own preset sound ... it won't be accesible to you ...

but if you dun have ur own sound ... nvm, just find a jamming studios with a synth that you like ..... =)

my keyboardist uses a juno g and he brings his keys for every jamming session...

i think its personal preference... for him, he just can't stand those lousy shit piece of plastic they call "keyboards" in the jamming studios we frequent so thats y he brings his...

i think its better if u bring ur own keys cuz keys ain't like guitars where what's there is there... its like some multi efx pedal where there 1 million buttons to press and each model does differently
