Bill – the PK-6 has the same sounds as the Proteus Pop Collection ROM.
There are fairly well.  If you go with this board, it might be helpful to
get a ZR ROM.  Other options, consider the Roland RS series.  They have
great control features, killer sounds, and they are fairly affordable.
However, I am not sure if they are upgradeable.  Check it out before you
buy.  If you already have a command station, you would just be getting more
E-mu.  The Roland environments are fairly easy.  Just my opinion to help you
make great music.

The Halo, PK-6, MK-6, etc-6 look like they are all the same
keyboard, with just different ROMs in them.

The XK-6 has (allegedly) the same ROM as the XL-7. The MK-6 as the
MP-7. You can start to see the pattern.

How are the sounds on the Halo? Are they geared toward any
particular 'style' of music making, or just kind of general use
stuff? How's the feel of the keys?

Later,
Bill
