HI, im searching for a keyboard in the 400-600 range. No less than 61 keys. Ideally, weighted keys, however i think that is almost impossible for my price range.

Wat im looking for: a way to play many pinkfloyd type sounds, somehow sample stuff, lots of instruments and sounds, possibly use with a softsynth

NOt looking fore: on board effects, onboard sequencer, good speakers

Iv been lokking at and testing yamahas, but would like more info before i buy.

I thank whoever replies

Check out the M-Audio Pro 88. It's a pretty slick controller if you're using a softsynth. 88 weighted keys can't be beat.

Check out the Korg MS2000B. Its only 44 (unweighted) keys and four voices, but a very flexible analog synth for the money. I know you don't want a sequencer, but it does have an arpeggiator and very cool mod sequencing. You can't load samples, but you can, with an editor/librarian, load new sounds downloaded from online user libraries. You can also feed a signal straight into the MS2000R and manipulate that signal, which is very cool.

I think what you're looking for is going to be tough to find in your price range, though.
