gig keyboards
I was about to tell you that the JP8000 has only 49keys,
and not design as a gig synth. You may use it as a second
keyboard but not the main synth. It sure has powerhouse sound
but not the bread and butter sounds. go do a search thru the net,
you'll get your answers.
it all depends on your budget,
here's the current list of gigable
synth with the basic bread and butter sounds:
High-end series:
Yamaha Motif ES series - S$3500 and above
Roland FantomX series - S$4000 and above ???
Korg Triton series - S$3000 and above
mid-range:
Yamaha S03 S$990 at Luthermusic
Alesis QS6.2 S$1400 at Sinamex
Korg Triton Le S$2200 at Citymusic
Roland Juno-D S$1500 at Swee Lee
another option, go for
used gear - look out in classified ads.
you may get a out-dated synth at a rock bottom price,
eg. someone is selling a Yamaha V50 for S$400, then invest
in a good top range current sound module like the Yamaha Motif Rack
at S$1600. So altogether you only spend S$2000.
if you consider the above option good, you may want to buy
a midi synth controller keyboard (no sound on board) and
a sound module.
M-audio synth controller at Sinamex:
Oxygen 8 S$246.00
O2 S$250.00
Ozone S$580.00
Radium 49 S$290.00
Radium 61 S$422.00
Keystation 49e S$180.00
Keystation Pro 88 S$880.00
good luck, happy shopping !
