The best partner for Stage 2 EX

Hi!

I'd be very interested to hear your opinions for second keyboard to go with the stage 2 ex. I'm curently running KingKorg as upper keyboard, but I'm not quite happy with the amount of quality basic sounds such as strings and brass. As a synth I really love the sounds of the korg, but is there a better option for it? somewhere around 1000-2000$ would be good. I'm doing all kinds of gigs, mainly party & dance music but also ballroom stuff, so the most needed things are quality strings, brass and synths, in this order. Controlling a mac through midi is not an option.

Thank you for your effort!

From Finland,
EP Tupala

Yamaha MOXF6, or a used Motif XF6, Korg M3 or Kurzweil PC3K6 depending on your tastes and if weight/size is not a problem.

I've said it before on this forum but if you have the SW73 waterfall key model then I recommend the JudoDS88 for the piano side of things . It's light at 35lbs and it has some good sounds in its own right. The electric guitars are nice plus it had good drums and a vocoder with an auto tune function. I have used the vocoder and it's cool. Also the action is nice.

Hi!

Thank you for your answers! I have the 76 model and use it as the main piano, so I'm looking for something like 61 or 73 keys, with light keys. :)

If you like the Korg, take a look at Korg Krome. It will be nice for your needs. The Yamaha Moxf6 and the earlier Mox6 are very good too.
Regards Stefan.
