Hi, my name is Daniel and I discovered the KC while researching options for my anticipated keyboard purchase sometime next year. I live in Melbourne, Australia and it turns out I'm only just out of the cradle at 18 years old.
My first (and only) keyboard is a Roland HP-900 digital piano which I've had since I started playing piano at 5. I only started getting into jazz/rock keyboards a year or so ago, and due to my unfortunate lack of funds was forced to use Garageband on my iBook as a sound module for my Roland. Luckily I only jam with a few friends occasionally so the lack of MIDI functionality in Garageband isn't too much of a problem.
Hopefully next year I'll be the proud owner of a Roland Fantom X8 - assuming they don't come out with anything more suited to my purposes at Winter NAMM - and this acquisition will be greatly expedited if I get a scholarship at the end of the year. It's a long shot, but I'm hoping!
So anyway, I love these forums, they're incredibly informative and have so far taught me almost everything I know about electronic keyboards - admittedly not much much at this point, but I'm getting there. Thanks for listening and I hope to see you around in the future.
