I used to have a luverly Doepfer LMK 1V2 master keyboard, up until a few days ago when the guy who owns it took it away.
Now I'm looking for recommendations for a replacement with the following characteristics:
-> it should be a work-a-day synth i.e. not just a master keyboard but with it's own sounds and something that can take a bit of hammer -> I already have a Roland JV1080 so it would be nice if the sounds were of a different ilk. -> at least 66 keys, preferably 88 -> not be too expensive (i.e. less than 400 Euros that's 277 pounds sterling or 507 US Dollars) -> as many sounds as possible. -> on no account should it have built in speakers so nothing in the "cheapo home organ" range - it has to be a semi professional or a professional piece of gear (whatever that means) -> I don't necessarily need "piano-feel" but things like aftertouch would be nice.
I have no preferences as to which make.
I would be grateful for any suggestions. Here's one to start you off - a friend of mine has a Roland D50 which would be nice except I suspect the sounds are quite similar to the Roland 1080 I already have.
Cheers

A second hand Kurzweil K-2000 should fit the bill. You'll probably will have to settle for 61-note keyboard, for staying within budget. Onboard effect-processsor (digitech) is crap by todays standards. But the sound/synthesis-engine is great. With uppgraded PROM & sample ram memory (64Mb) you have great synth. The built in sequencer is quite decent too. Check out "VinatgeSynth" for mor info on older synths: http://www.vintagesynth.com/Cheers: Dixiechicken
