right on dude....thanks! thatl keep me busy in my research for sure.

Out of all of those you mentioned, which has a sequencer included? I 
would prefebably like a keboard synth because I'm more hands-on. Any 
keyboard synth workstations that can do it all trance wise? I'm a 
very pickey producer, I'll spend 3 hours getting a high-hat to sound 
the way I want with the right combo of FX n stuff so I need something 
that is totally modular and editable.

Thanks again!

Cory
