Fediverse #music #synthesizer players, I need your kind help ❤️

I haven't played for 10 years (on a #Yamaha PSR435) and want to get back to it.

I'm a modest player. I love rock, ballads, 90s music... I can play chords, but if melody is too rich, I can't play both 😅

A local reseller showed my the #Roland JD-Xi, looks great, but I'm afraid it will be too "electronic music" oriented, and that it might allow to make #samples and #loops but not actually play the music?

What would you recommend to play (and maybe record) chords (chords looper?), potentially record actual parts of a melody (like record 1 voice and play the other)?

Thanks a lot!

Wo-hoo! I was wondering how hard it would be to record #Roland v-#drums into #Renoise to dedicated tracks for each pad group. The answer: not hard at all.

Ofc you can record them directly to #DAW, but going via Renoise I can separate them right away for mixing. This way it’ll resemble regular drum mixing a lot. _And_ I can select different Abbey Road #drumset for every track, if I like. (And quite often I do.)

Yeahyeahyeah, I’m a snobby toff with #drum #sounds, I know.
