thanks for all of your reply!
I usually play in a fusion band where I often use the piano sound,
sometimes jazz organ and most most of the time I have to use some sounds
which create some background ambiance.
and the idea of Pete is really helpful that, When choosing a keyboard,
the speakers/amp through which I play will make a huge difference.

Part of the anser may depend on what type of music you play.
I play mostly jazz standards and have a Yamaha grand piano at home.
For taking to performances, however, I purchased a roland 300GX.
The deciding factors for me were:
-The acoustic piano sound is very realistic
-The keyboard touch is very nice -- Certainly not as nice as my Yamaha
grand piano (a little too light), but pretty nice.
-There is also a nice electric piano sound which I use occasionally
when performing
Although it has a bunch of other sounds and you can put in effects
like reverb, chorus, etc. I never use that stuff (and prefer to do it
in sonar when recording).
I am very happy with it.
When choosing a keyboard, I found that the speakers/amp through which
you play it will make a huge difference. Therefore, I RECOMMEND USING
HEADPHONES TO COMPARE SOUND AND THEN CHOOSING A SPEAKER/AMP
COMBINATION THAT SUITS YOUR NEEDS AND SOUNDS GOOD.

*Subject:* [Jsonar] which keyboard I should buy? please reply!
dear all,
I am planning to buy a new keyboard which will help me to work with
sonar as well as perform on the stage as I am a keyboard player of my
fusion band "XRaF".
of course, I want to buy in an effort-able price which is near about
50000 Indian rupees.
personally I like the sounds of "Korg", but please don't recommend me
"KORG Kronos Music Workstation" as the price is out of range and I
have a doubt, whether it can be operate using buttons or only have to
depend on touch screen! :-)
as far I know, there is only 1 model called "Korg PA50-SD" which fully
controlled by buttons as there is no touch screen.
there are also 2 models that's sounds good in my price range.
1 is "Korg PA500-ort" and another 1 is "Korg M50".
but I have the same doubt about the touch screen.
have anyone any idea about that?
can anyone tell me which 1 of those 2 is better?
you can also recommend me other than Korg as I want to buy a good
keyboard, not the company! :-)
1 more thing I want to tell you frankly. I don't need to change the
effects parameters or the other stuff like creating styles or
recording songs in my keyboard.
I have "Sonar" for that.
even whenever I need to do that, I can get help my friends.
so, if there is any model where I can easily change the sounds,
patches or performances, rhythms, I can use the split functions, duel
functions or track select functions, etc., that is enough for me.
please reply me.
I really mean your suggestions as you all are more professional and
experienced persons.
