So recently I have been toying with the idea of buying a workstation keyboard for studio use, however I am not a keyboard player at all, and I really have no clue about whats good or everything you can do with a workstation. This will be my first keyboard. I'm just not sure if what I have in mind suits my needs or is just overkill. Mainly what I want are some good piano, string, and brass sounds. I hate dance and techno music so all those kinds of sounds and fuctions will probably never get used. I need to be able to do some sampling, sub bass drops, and would like to be able to use the keys for a controller in EZdrummer. I really like the sounds on the Korg Triton but it seems these are discontinued, so I was looking at the Korg M3 88key, and the Roland Fantom X8 since these are sort of in my price range. I have pretty much ruled out anything but an 88 key board as I would like to have the weighted keys and it seems that is pretty much exclusive to the 88 key models. I have considered maybe buying an 88 Key midi contoller and using soft synths for all my needs, but I don't really want to have rely on my computer everytime I have an idea, I want to be able to just turn it on and play.
