Dodgy keyboard I bought on eBay arrived today.
Fuck!
It is so very dodgy. A totally old Casio-Tone vibe - with preset rythyms and built in speakers. It looks like an old-school ghetto blaster with a massive keyboard attached to it. The built-in sounds are terrible, none of them sound anything at all like what they are meant ... the trumpet is particularly aborhent.
BUT, it has Midi so I can control another keyboard ... I have a cool MicroKorg, which sounds AMAZING but it is very definitely 'Micro' - the keyboard is way too small. Hence the new keyboard will let me practice with a full size keys. Plus, laying down some fat bossanova grooves is always cool. Of course the new machine has no 'fat grooves' they sound tinny and lame.
