A sonic palette....
May. 13th, 2010 10:21 pmFor years, I've been wanting to purchase a synthesizer or keyboard workstation -- specifically, something in the Kurzweil K2000 family. I briefly had a Kurzweil K2500, but found that I couldn't afford it and had to send it back.
As I've often said, I'm not a guitarist. I simply don't have the chops in the left hand to be an accomplished guitarist. I wouldn't mind learning how to play bass guitar, though. And of course, I have my woodwinds. But nothing fires me up like keyboards.
Why keyboards? Because I can have access to a wide range of sounds. I can't get this from traditional instruments. In a way, it's like painting a picture with a range of colors instead of just a few. With the help of a computer and music composition software (e.g. Cakewalk), I can knock out compositions much quicker than what I can currently accomplish.
( What sort of keyboard sounds would I want to include in my palette? )
