Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who's replied. At the moment I'm
trying to decide between the Behringer umx-61, which would do everything
I actually need, and spending the extra money on the Edirol PCR-800,
which does sound like a nice keyboard but is a bit expensive compared to
what I was thinking of spending.
