I am currently looking into getting a keyboard to use in jamming sessions. I have so far been partial to Roland GO:KEYS 5 (this over the 3 due to the additional inputs and an acceptable imo price difference). This (around 500 EUR) is around the max I want to give for it.
But, as far as I can tell, it does not have a proper loop function. It has a layered recording-function, but this would require me to play through the full song.
So I have two questions:
-
Are there any keyboards anyone of you would recommend in roughly the same price range that has a looper?
-
Could I use my Boss RC-5 for this, plug the keyboard into input A and plug it back into the keyboard from output A? I would like to avoid buying a new speaker for this, and tge loop pedal would also be connected to my guitar and to the amp.
I went for Rent-To-Own on Splice. It ended up being the best deal because I received all software and version updates for two years while I paid it off and now I own the software. That was a big selling point for me after Reason went subscription. I can stop paying now that’s its paid off and keep that version of Bitwig forever while on Reason if I stopped paying I would lose access entirely.
That and Bitwig’s stock devices and modules have made a lot of VSTs I used redundant.
Tbh I wouldn’t have done it if I didn’t get an older version through means and fell in love with it.
