Yeah I went for the Micro X.
Loads of quality useable sounds, excellent VST/AU plugin editor as well

Emu Orbits, I got the V2 which is nice. One hundred and fifty english sheckles.

p.s. what do you call cheap ?

Seriously, you should see about picking up a 2nd hand Kurzweil.. Either a K2000r, K2500r etc. They have some brilliant sound and are really easy to navigate. All levels use real life terms like hz, db, semitone, cents etc. I had a K2000 years ago.. Should have never traded it in.

Under 500€/$...But if I'd pick up a jv1080 or something like that I wanna get some nice expansions boards aswell for the price (60s and 70s keys, session, orchestral, ... )

freeware vsts

i wish mine still had one. those yamaha keys are also a noteworthy feature with the motif es. the rack itself costs $1100, so you might as well get keys with it for the 200 less price. However, if you really lack space, go and cop the rack version.

you can score a roland xv5050 for around 500 dollars.

you can add 2 srx cards, which have more stuff than the old roland expansion cards. -so the xv5050 + 2 cards will be closer to 900-1k depending on the cost of the individual pieces. -the 5050 has patches built in tho, so you're not obligated to expand it right away if you want to use it.

i still want the 5080... it costs less for me to buy that and load the 4 cards i want than it does to buy 2 xv5050's and 4 cards.

but the usb on the 5050 peaks my interest...

My Korg Trinity costed 250€. It´s my midi controller + it got some nice sounds on it. I think it was a great deal.

I have been dreamin bout the ms2000 for a long time, they are also pretty cheap so one day I might just cop one.
And today I saw jv1080 for 200€... And also today Im gonna get paid, so maybe I should cop that hmmm..

I say the jv with the expansions
