Suggest me a groovebox that brings me back to music (lemmy.today)

Hello,

Once upon a time, I was a musician. I took my classical guitar degree 10 years ago. I studied a little of music composition and experimented with computer music. But today, I don't do music anymore. Every time I try to do music, I spend the time looking for synthesizers, creating setups, and so on, and it ends I never play. So, I'm looking for some device that gives me an out-of-the-box experience with synths, effects, and loops. I would especially like to:

  • loop audio input
  • play with external or integrated keyboard
  • apply effects
  • use synth and samples
  • programming the sounds and synths

Thanks!

Find an old Kurzweil K2000S or K2500S. Very powerful workstation for its time. Lay down tracks immediately with presets or dive deep into sampling with wildly creative modulation and effects with high degree of mapping and control.
