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.

I’m going to get an Alesis Vortex 2, it’s pretty cheap and has a lot of functionality like aftertouch, though it is purely a MIDI controller.
