				I scored one of these for free today, I need to get a power supply for it, but still. Has anyone ever used one of these? I've read some reviews online and tried to look up some youtube vids, but they're all cheesy covers of popular songs. I'm really busy working and don't know when I'll be able to get around to get a power supply and really check it out. They supposedly went for around $1000 new when they were still available. Maybe I'll just sell it, who knows.

				Maybe sell it eventually, but have some fun with it first. You get a free chance to see if you like that kind of hardware. It sounds pretty cool, give it a go first!

				It's made for doing cheesy covers. Makes a decent e-piano I think, although anyone who actually
plays piano will say otherwise.

				It has drums in it so I'd sample them even if they suck, same with any interesting patches. 
Then sell it, it's digital anyway so having the sample in many ways is the same as having the keyboard itself. It'll probably make someome quite happy but to a producer it's limited in most of the ways that count to us (MIDI IN, synthesis)

				Yeah, I'll definitely check it out before I sell it. I was gonna look into it a little more for sequencing (you never know what you might like) but then I found out its only got 8mb of sample memory.
