Acess virus Ti or Korg ms2000.those are good,or an old skool roland juno.

I don't think you can buy a keyboard with that "Dre sound".That feature hasn't come out yet :) I think it just comes with practicing fo like 15-20 years. :)
As far as sampling,I think Dre uses quite a few of those,and sampling is tight,especially wit teh mpc. The key is to incorprate both evenly,try and blend them so no one can tell which is which.

NO keyboard on this planet can make you sound like DRE. He has several skillful keyboard players
on deck ready to play what's in his head. I would recommend learning the piano...That been said...I have to step my piano game up as well.

Good day

In the meantime I just sample simple one bar piano loops. :D

He's a big fan of analogue synths though, so I'd learn also how to use one of those or at least a virtual analogue synth. These millions of them out there and watch the subtractor tutorials because the principles of synthesis can be applied to all synthesizers...

If you want to use what scorch has I'm pretty sure he rocks a MOTIF along with his XL, check out http://malefactor.org/beatmakingvideos/scott_storch.avi

As for DRE, well he may not sample but alot of the time he gets in musicians to replay samples from records that he likes...so, alot of his guitar and piano sounds are probably from real instruments. So, if you want that steez learn a couple instruments! Piano is a good place to start...

Peace,

Korce
