Hi,

It really of course depends what you want to do with it.

Write it down in order. Writing music, playing live, sampling hobby, enjoy
sequencing..onboard or PC, real sound (acoustic) analog (techno).

There is a lot out there. But not one thing will have everything you want. So
you have to go with the priorities.

I have an Ensoniq SQ2 because once a year I play a job with this band and the
ensoniq sound is a big part of the sound. So it sits in a closet most of the
time. I wanted a controller so I have a A-70. with all of the cards. I only
use the VERD1 because the others are a pain in the butt to access. I have the
CX3, a Motif 7 which is for writing only. A Roland RS-9 88 note controller
because it is LIGHT!!!! A Kurzweil K20000S with all the amenities which I
would sell but I would loose my shirt. A Roland 1010 for the same reason. A
Roland AX1 and a AX7 plus a Casio cheapy that I play premade sequences on so
I can practice licks, chops and soloing.

Point is, they all do something different and while I don't play some of them
often, I would miss it if it wasn't there. I sold a Korg X5DR recently which
I miss because it had kind of a neat tweaked saxophone. It would have been
worth it in the long run to keep it......and yes...I do sell things
occasionally!
