I am looking at buying a keyboard or two, and I'm not sure what to get. I know some things I want though:
1. A Built-in midi/disc thing, where I can take discs out, and reload them, ya know?
2. very good piano sounds.
3. effects (chorus, and stuff)
4. built-in drum machine thing, where I can program/write my own beats.
5. Very, very versitile keyboards!

I am a guitarist/singer/bassist/somewhat of a percussionist, who wants to learn the piano badly. I mainly do melow alternative/pop/rock music, but my stuff is very experimental, and ecclectic. I am into all of those styles listed above, as well as: folk, jazz, numetal&alt-metal, punk styles, techno, trip-hop, hip-hop/r&b/rap, reggae/ska, classical, and pretty much anything else! I want very versitile keyboards. I want to be able to do it all. I mainly like piano sounds, but I dig it all.

hopefully someone out there can reccomend a nice keyboard for me to get. I am a singer-songwriter, who wants to be able to either do it live with just a guitar, my voice, and my keyboards (hopefully just one), or with a band with my voice, a guitar, and my keyboards.

I definatly want GREAT a piano sound.

HELP ME PLEASE! !ESAELP PLEH EM - kRiS

if you want my advice, DO NOT BUY A CASIO. my parents got me one, and at the time, we thought it was the best piano and all, but my bro's friend had to come along and say "geez, thats not a piano thats a keyboard, and on top of that its a cheap one" so buying a Roland would be a good choice.

Yamaha Clavinova is the best keyboard/electric piano. They effects and sounds are amazing and endless, great backup percussion, recording capabilities, everything that you mentioned you wanted. Check them out. They are sort of expensive, but they will last you so long if you can invest invest in a nice one.
