I have used the CASIO HT-6000 61-touch sensitive keyboard / "synth" with
my 1040ST and Dr.T's KCS. The HT-6000 could produce 4 different Voices 
alongwith the drum machine sounds so I could compose 4 instrument tunes. I
was now looking for another Ht-6000 but apparently they are not available
anymore.
I visited Sam Ash Music Downtown and found a great Yamaha V-50 keyboard for
about $1300 or so. It is said to be 16 note 8 voice polyphonic.
My questions:-
-Does that mean I can use it to produce sounds like 8 instruments playing
together?
-This particular model has a sequencer and floppy drive built in but these 
are of no interest to me as I already have a computer and sequencer s/ware.
Is there a version of this keyboard w/out the drive and sequencer. Which one?
-How does the V-50 compare to the CASIO cz-1 or 1000? My primary interest is
to make tunes with one synth that has the most # of "voices" that can be
                                                     -------------------
played simultaneously (not # of patches of internal and preset voices)

Please oblige with your opinion and answers to these questions. Thank you.
I would appreciate if you could send me email directly:
