im really thinking about buying this one made by Baldwin
although its way too big for what i want. i need something like 1/4 this size and still be made by someone decent.
this fucking thing is yellow blue and red. how fucking awesome is it? why don't they make it tiny?

novation makes the xiosynth 25 which is a full on powered keyboard and not just a controler but its 300 bucks.

second hand ones go for half that price. or you might be able to find a used K station quite cheaply.

this isnt what you are talking about exactly, but the dave allen mopho is a full analog box that sounds INCREDIBLE for 400. not a keyboard, per se, but i wonder what they will go for in a while when they start popping up used?

oh yeah:
i have a yamaha portasound just like this one:
oops, didnt work.
which has programmable/savable patches, FM synthesis, phrase sampler, programmable drums, and like a million preset voices and rhythm tracks. i bet if you could find one youd get it cheap, and its really amazing. ill post demos, sometime.
on second thought, its not that tiny. i mean, small enough, but you want like micro. wtf?
i have a couple of tiny fucking white casiotone keyboards that you can HAVE (+shipping) if i can find one of them. one is branded realistic, but its the same. headphone jacks, too!
but get the yamaha, seriously.

Well, rob, it seems you already have a computer, so why not go with a midi controller and some soft synths?

The actual model of this is not keyboard based, but there are modifications to turn it into this:
[youtube][/youtube]
The sound functions on it are a lot more expansive that what you hear in that video. It's called a Gakken SX-150 and it's a synth kit from Japan. It comes with a ribbon controller rather than a keyboard, extremely easily to modify and the schematics are online as well. You can get the kit from MAKE for $54.95 or find them on ebay for like 42 up to 120. I've got one coming in from japan.
Or I'd say get a Casio SK-1 (or sk-whatever) but they're getting pricey. Casio Sk-8

I have a casio sk-something I found in the trash. works great. it's super awesome if you run it through shit like distortion and phaser pedals

m-audio make some cool midi boards, i think they've a basic one for about 80eur (soooo versatile !) i remember being very very interested in the axiom series (i think that' s what they're called ? the black ones ?) but never took the dive. most of the m audio stuff is top quality too but i think the basic axiom is like 150 eur or so

i think i have one of those around somewhere. its identical to the aforementioned little white casios, except for the muppets theme and different sized case.
yeah, the more i think about it, the more you have to get that portasound i posted. get over the size, it only weighs like 5 pounds. and its smaller than a piano. or an organ.
oops, didnt work.
