In an effort to downsize, I recently sold some keyboards and bought a Korg X50. It has 16-part multitimbral, dual polyphonic arpeggiators, and 384 combinations constructed of up to eight programs each.

The keyboard's powerful effect section has four separate processors: one for insert effects, two for master effects, and one master EQ processor. Multi Mode allows the Korg X50 synthesizer to be played from an external sequencer as a sound module.

It also has 4-channel audio output, a USB port, and plug-in sound-editing software that allows you to tweak and program the Korg X-50 keyboard even from within your DAW software.

I have a Wurlitzer Electronic Piano that sounds great (think "Break On Through" by the Doors) and a tuck and roll Kustom copy of a Hammond B-3 hooked up to a Leslie 122.

I play the organ, and the keyboard as well, so I got my first Organ which was not a Hammond ironically, It worked though it was a Yamaha 70's thing

But it worked, I sold them for $40 each (I had two) to a church and I had gotten a Keyboard off a guy who didn't want to play anymore, I still have it, a Casio CA-100, it is cheesy, though when ran through a good Leslie speaker through on the organ sound number 46 it sounds convincingly like a Hammond!

If you actually want cheese, get a Casio CZ stage synth. CZ-1, CZ-1000, CZ-3000 in that order of preference. Newer keyboards that try to emulate them (including Casio's own) don't get that screaming tortured transistor sound. Or to put it in more familiar language - the CA you have is like a small overdrive on a Fender amp, while a CZ is like a silicon fuzz face on an Orange amp.

I'd love to get my hands on an old Fender Rhodes but they are costing more than the price of two new Yamaha upright console electric pianos. I have a Yamaha PSR 38 multi voice keyboard that was really state-of-the-art first when I got it new in 1990 for $800 and that was with the price knocked down considerably.These days you can buy a two year old used keyboard for about $100 that is way more advanced than the old PSR 38. I also have a Yamaha NP 30 electric piano with a Fender Rhodes like setting as well as Wurlitzer like.It also has 4 or 5 regular piano voices including a really convincing concert grand sound that is incredible when put through a good large amp or a decent PA system. I also have a Yamaha CS-01 mini synth that also sounds like nothing else when put through an large powerful amp like my JCM 800 stack or old 69 Fender Bassman.This little keyboard when put through a beast of an amp can actually fool people into thinking that you're playing an old Moog or ARP Odyssey.An old Teischord mid 60s combo organ tops off my keyboard collection,it has the old 60s Farfisa/Vox Jaguar type tones.

_________________
'65 Strat,65 Mustang,65 Jaguar,4 more Strats,3 vintage Vox guitars,5 Vox amps,'69 Bassman with a '68 2-15 Bassman cab,36 guitars total-15asst'd amps total,2 vintage '60s Hammond organs & a myriad of effects-with a few rare vintage ones.

Imagine how it might be if we had had the money to buy then all the gear that we still don't have the money to buy now.
