[comp.music] Keyboards

Hi, 

  Someone wishes to give me a keyboard as a gift.  Any recommendations
  on 4-octave units, with reasonable builtin instruments, the ability
  to modify instrument envelops, and any other "goodies" thrown in?

  (I assume that most units offer only well-tempered tuning...)

  I saw the Casio CT-470 the other day, seemed nice, but I didn't spend 
  much time looking at it.

How about a nice tracker organ?     ;-)

You didn't really give enough information, like how much are you willing
to spend, do you want "auto accompaniment," what kind of music do you 
want to play, etc.

If I was just playing "traditional" music, and could only have one keyboard,
I'd probably get a Korg M-1.

(It's a good thing this isn't rec.music.synth or I'd get burned at the stake
for saying that... ...It may happen here anyway!)

They can be had for around $1300, but you may want something cheaper.  I
don't know much about the cheaper instruments.  Good luck!
