im planning to save money for a fantom xr (rack) because i dont have much space in my small room for such big keyboard

anyone who owns one of this can tell if its good or bad for pop music. im planning to get the rack version because it takes less space and i can control it with my little midi keyboard. i hope its worth the funds

 

sure, its fine for pop music, especially 2000's era pop and hip hop.

I woud imagine those sounds are easy to find, and can be loaded in any sampler, but i could be wrong. Is there any reason in particular why you need the actual hardware? do you plan to sample with it or something?

 

Re. Hardware; what about a Roland XV5050?
