wrote up a few more orchestral library reviews, i'll have them your way soon!

Sounds good. ;)
hey slowly and passionately f U with romantic background music budy
>:(
Wait, wha? XD
I'm getting some new gear (should be here friday, I hope), Kurzweil SP2X, a Behringer BCR2000 and an E-MU 0404 (from this very thread:D).
I'll make sure to review them :)
Thanks a lot! :D Also spread the word of this list if you can, I don't think too many people know about it right now.
Bah, finally I got 'em :D
EMU 0404-USB:
"The 0404 is perfect for me, enough I/O (see Rig's review), non-noticable latency (below 10ms mostly), and flawless recording quality. I guess it could use more jacks, but other than that, it's very good.
4/5
Kurzweil SP2X $1390:
(<a href="http://www.kurzweilmusicsystems.com/Product.php?product=50">http://www.kurzweilmusicsystems.com/P roduct.php?product=50</a>)
The SP2X is a stage-piano, and has the functionality you'd expect from one. It features a not-so-big, but very high quality sound bank. It has acoustic and digital pianos, strings, horns, vocals (kinda fun to mess with xD), organs, and guitar/bass. Almost all the sounds are excellent, some are just really good. It feaures built-in reverb, chorus, flanger, compressor, distortion, and a wah-wah. The effects are not very customizable, but they work good enough. It also has a whole bunch of drum loops, which sound pretty good.
It has 88 keys, and the keys are the most piano-like I've played, they feel really nice. It has MIDI In/Out, Line Out and an USB jack, for plug-and-play functionality. It has four knobs which can all be used with MIDI.
To round off, if you want a MIDI-keyboard only, there's cheaper alternatives (although this is really good for that too), but if you're a pianist, or want a nice digital piano, GET THIS! :)
If you're interested, I suggest you read this (<a href="http://www.keyboardmag.com/article/kurzweil-sp2x/oct-07/32011">http://www.keyboardmag.com/article/ku rzweil-sp2x/oct-07/32011</a>) and other reviews for more details.

FINALLY, someone else adds to this (almost dead) list! :D Thanks a lot, and, do me a favor? Tell other people about this list so we could possibly resurrect it. ;D
Edit: It looks like the Kurzweil is a MIDI Keyboard? And your summary is a bit long... I'm looking for 2-3 sentence summaries, like the one you made for the EMU 0404-USB... not three-paragraph reviews. :P Could you condense that into a shorter summary, for the sake of the list? ;)
The SP2X is a stage-piano (it can be used as a MIDI keyboard though), and has the functionality you'd expect from one. It features a not-so-big, but very high quality sound bank. It also features multiple effects that you can apply to the sounds. It has 88 keys that feel really good, if you're a pianist, you'll love them. Best buy ever!
5/5
Thanks! :D
Now that I think about it... the price is rather high but I might want to get one myself one day. :O
You can most likely find it cheaper, I took the "suggested retail price" from their website, and that's always high ;)
Also, you really should get it man, try to find it in some store, and you wont regret it :D
Heh, that's a relief. :P And I'll definitely keep it in mind on my birthday, too. XD

That's not enough... I need a price, a rating (out of 5, decimals allowed) and a two to three sentence summary like the ones already in the list. Didn't I already specify early on in the list what you need to give me? :I
Rig
Schweet! This is going on the big list.
Here's some prices and ratings for the things I gave you:
KONTROL49 - $349 - 4.75/5
EMU 0404-USB - $229 - 3.75/5
And I'll send you a review of Nexus and FL in the future :)

Awesome, thanks! :D
