BEst Key board FOR a hip hop Pro duce R?!?!!

my favorite keyboard is the qwerty.
if u cant make a beat with one of those, i dont know wat to tell u.

lol I remember way way back when I was like him...Confused as hell about all this hardware ish...

There is no secret or best equipment that will make you a super producer as you probably well know (lol well.. you should know after reading these replies).

I say:

Get an MPC first, learn to use it then you can decide what you need next.

You can create your drums & basses on the mpc and even use synth samples, and thats a good way to start. But if you have more cash than u know what to do with then get a 'good' workstation i.e. Triton or a sound module (roland jv series, triton rack, or fanton/motif) and a midi controller keyboard. If you decide on a soundmodule get one which can be expanded easily with a choice of sounds that appeal to you the most.


Good luck.

^^^^^ thas real talk right there

My kid tears it up on this.

My take on it is if you can play keyboard, then one of the workstations may be the way to go to complement your MPC. My personal choice would be either the Motif ES or the Triton Extreme. Yamaha sounds are the most expressive sounds that I have heard. If you can't get the cheeze together to pay for those then try to go for the rack mount versions of the keyboards. I personally am a keyboardist by training and I like to have a keyboard in front of me to get ideas going.
