Anyone that can name me a good 66 key keboard.I was considering getting one.
I am wondering if anyone knows of a decent midi sound module for under 200 dollars (CAD).The smaller the better.it should be able to fit on the right side of my nord stage ex 76.It should also include midi over usb.Anyone got any suggestions

Re: low price midi sound modules?
Before I got the NS2 I used an Alesis NanoSynth for the odd string and synth patch. Tiny thing about 6'' across, got for £40 on eBay. Far too old to support USB though. Google for "desktop sound module" and something might turn up. I've heard good things about the Waldorf Blofeld, but that's very much a synth and possibly a bit beyond your budget.

Re: low price midi sound modules?
Hello titanium,
Ritchie333's is a good solution.
What types of sounds are you wanting?
What type(s) of music do you primarily play?
Another option would be the Roland XV-2020.
It's a half rack space synth that I've seen sell on e8ay for around $225 USD
Still yet another would be the Kurzweil Micro Ensemble which I've seen go for $185 USD
Merry Christmas, Hanon

Re: low price midi sound modules?
After researching Ritchie 333s suggestion of the Aleis Nano synth I think it would be a good choice.Sounds I am needing are strings, brasses,flutes and drumkits.But I have just one more question, are the included sounds convincing?I havent been able to find a good demo for It. Thankyou for the advice and Merry Christmas.

Re: low price midi sound modules?
I don't have any recordings of the NanoSynth. If I could find a power supply for it, I could dig mine out and record a few bits and pieces.
