I tend to do most of my music composition in the box nowadays, so there's much less jamming for me and more noodling around on a keyboard until I come up with an idea (if that), and then developing the rest of the idea fully in the sequencer. But even so, it might be nice to play around with and be able to take places without having to worry about or deal with a computer -- just having the immediacy of the machine and nothing else seems nice.
The main question I think about is whether I want to grab it or one of the volcas. When it comes to live jamming, it's likely that a groovebox is closer to my cup of tea.
- mntmoss 7y agoOne of the simplest options is also the cheapest - just get a Casio toy keyboard. You wouldn't get those for the sound quality, but if you opt to run one through a multi-FX pedal you can achieve a pretty sizable lo-fi tonal palette in a small package.
- romwell 7y agoWell, to note: Reface DX, in addition to sounding great, has built-in effects (2 FX that can be chained), and is smaller than any Casio keyboard currently on the market (that I know of). My next-size-down setup is an Akai LPK25 controller running into the cellphone (running an FM synth, for example).
