He said he would call me in a few months and we would discuss accessible options for a starter keyboard to work with My Solo. Or maybe just something to play with that doesn’t cost a lot. I told him I was thinking of the m32 by Native Instruments but he said he had something else in mind. We will see how things are looking a few months down the road. , (2/2)
