I decided i would like to start making my own music and expierement with electronic flairs with my music, so after asking around i decided i would need some kind of keyboard and squencer, so my question is, wat is some good for beginners and not too steep in price keyboard and/squencer combos?
It also has to have some kind of drum beat maker (like drum machine lul)

What sort of music do you play and what sort of price are you looking at?

Cheers

Easiest way to describe wat i want is

Are you looking for running the sequencer on a computer or are you looking for a totally hardware solution?

If you are asking if i want software, the answer would be no. I would like all physical stuff, sorry if i misunderstood your question.

A groovebox/proper keyboard combo - do they exist? Interesting...

Have you checked out the Korg Electribes?

So you really want a keyboard, with a basic sequencer and the ability to do some drums.

What about something like a Korg M3 http://www.korg.com/gear/prod_info.asp?A_PROD_NO=M3&category_id=1

Or he cheaper M50 http://www.korg.com/gear/prod_info.asp?A_PROD_NO=M50&category_id=1

Is this the sort of thing you may be after?

The other way is to get a few separate devices, say a synth and a groovebox of some kind.

Cheers

The Electron Monomachine SFX-6, but that's a little out of the price range. Smile

Also, doesn't the Korg Radius have some pretty nice step sequencing abilities to go along with the keyboard? I don't think it's quite as deep sequencing wise as some options out there (synth wise it seems very nice), but it might be enough.
