Muad’Dib Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Okay! Before anyone says anything. I just ordered a Roland D-20 through Reverb.com, for $99.00, plus $60.00. I know its an impulse buy, but i realize what the hey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Motif Max Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 The price was right. I'd pick one up at that price myself even though it's rather uninspiring to me as a keyboard. Around here the three I've seen for sale were all about $250-300!

Muad’Dib Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 I"ll say! I don"t have a disposable income, so I get, what i can afford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Motif Max Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I don't have a disposable income really either, being a student! But for my main board, which cost a good $3,699, I just saved for a couple years when I could and it was totally worth it. Be aware that sometimes on the D-20 the buttons can become unresponsive due to usage plus age. Have fun with it though. You should post a recording at some point.

stoken6 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 At that price you should be able to sell it on at your buy price if you don't get on with it. Cheers, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muad’Dib Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 I don"t think the keyboard is the issue ? The issue is with me! I have a tendency to overthink things? Plus, most of the time I have an empty mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zephonic Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 The D-20 was my first keyboard. It sucks for pianos and ep's, but it is surprisingly effective as a synthesizer. Some analog warmth there, with a bit of tweaking/programming it can sound pretty strong. It really got me started as a songwriter/producer, being able to sequence was amazingly liberating. One day a fellow keyboardist/producer borrowed it for a gig, and I never got it back. Oh well...
