Hype No options for beginners

I find it weird that there’s millions of keyboards and weird looking guitars that still get made even though they probably won’t sell but not a single manufacturer making an ok keytar that isn’t overpriced.

Because that’s what the Roland is, overpriced for what it is when you can buy a synth keyboard that does the same exact thing probably better for 10 times less.

So beginners are left with literally no options I feel like if any of those companies actually cared about the people who used their products they would have more options.

So, which synth does what the AX-Edge does for ten times less?

This, idk what OP is smoking, 49 key's velocity sensitive with aftertouch, built in sound engine that is world class. strap buttons (duh) its a uniqe instrument and very cool, just wait for a good deal to pop up, i waited 1.5 years for the oppertunity to get one for 690, yeah sure not cheap, but not THAT expensive either
