you dont need a $1000 dollar keyboard. any real producer on here will realize that softsynth is here to stay. a oxygen8 is all you really need. you dont need banks on your keyboard when you can buy programs that are packed with them and let you make your own (and i know you can make banks on the high end keyboards my pops has a wavestation).

e-mu and creative labs got together and banged out "soundfonts". any producer whos got a computer based studio should have heard of these. if you got fruity try to find soundfonts as soon as possible.

reason is wack because it dont allow plugins.

sonar is best used when you actually have a keyboard

fruityloops is the shit for now but its kinda buggy with vst plugins (like sampletank)
