Music Tech HND ... £8000+. Erm yea, abandoning my plans of wanting to do one of those entirely.

I also added Addictive keys studio collection which also came with some free vocal editing software today. Normal price for that was €119, and the free software originally costs $129.

I found it on ebay for £60 :D

It sounds vastly better than amber truepiano or SI electric piano, and turned my feeble DGX 630 into sounding 10x better.

Ok, I need nothing else now, I swear!

Oh cool, I'm young now :p

bapu hit the nail on the head... I doubled my plug-in count since getting X3 (thank goodness most of them were free).
