Well all these times I have been using FL Studio / Acid PRo 4 to record and mix my beats.. but i have never really had any money for a real keyboard/synthesizers.. but now im gonna save up and my budget is 700-800..
i had a look at these, and i dont really know what midi controller or whatsoever is.. so im really asking for an honest opinion before i put down a few paychecks (hehe)
these are the ones i have been looking at.
the type of music i want to create is mainly hip hop sounds with a R&B / Soul mix.. i want a variety of sounds on-board BUT also be able to record/play sounds/samples from my computr with the keyboard.. im not sure what is the best for that..
also i would want to have an onboard sequencer so i could try the rhythm out before spending time on my computer.
(the kind of music im into making are like some of these)

a variety of old school hip-hop to to-the-soul kind of beat.. what i really like is PIANO.. like a real classical but soul(jazz piano) sound.. also alot of strings/jazz bass.. all the basics..not much into producing rave or electronics..
here are a few synthesizers/workstations i have been looking at.. if you have tried it or own one can you please tell me what you use it for ( type of music ) and how efficient it is and if you are happy with it ( and worth the $$ .. )
oh yeah.. i also like from 61 keys-76keys..(88 keys are over 1,000 easy so no not 88's.. hehe ) i dont like mini-keyboards.. too much modulations goin on haha.. cant feel the rhythm when my hand has to keep going up and down..hahaha..
thanks..
