Ok, fess up, what kind of gear do you use and why? Why is a Korg better than a Roland Keyboard? WHy is a Taylor better than a Martin guitar? Why is Pearl better than Remo drums? Any questions or comments/recommendations are good on this thread too.
I have about one of every major brand in keyboards and I use them all for different purposes. I have a Roland for my controller, meaning it is a master keyboard which can control multiple sound modules. I have a Roland sound module which made sense because it works very well with the controller. It also has very good quality, useful in larger venues. I have a Yamaha keyboard with built in drum styles and speakers. It is good for smaller gigues, with accostic/unplugged guitars, or in a livingroom. It has a disk drive which plays back Midi files, and I use it to arrange my songs. Kind of a thinkpad if you will. It sounds cheezy through a larger sound system, so I rarely use it for big venues. My Korg is tiny, portable, and sounds decent. With the software, I also can dump the sound banks of previous models and use the same sounds artists like Michael W. Smith used for his early 90s albums when korg was a big sponsor of his. My church uses a lot of Kurzweil, so I never bought any of that, having access to it when I play for them.
My Rommie plays guitar and he has several, so I borrow his if I need to play. He does the same with my keys. I have no preference on guitars, knowing the ones I play are good quality anyway from a discriminating guitar player who knows more about his instrument than I do.
Blessings
