    Help, I need better sounds/voices...

    Other notorious Hip-Hop racks I've looked at, that are a bit out of my price range are the Ensoniq ASR-10 Rack at ~$400, the Roland Fantom-XR at ~$550-$750, and the Novation SuperNova Rack at ~$750. I like both, and use Synths and Acoustic Emulations rather evenly in my production, but I'd say...

    I have an MPC1000 with EXM128 & HDM-10 upgrades, and a Yamaha Portable Grand DGX-500, my problem is this, the Yamaha DGX has horribly cheesy in-store demo style sounds on it, albeit the keyboard itself is amazing, it has 88 full-sized half-weighted piano keys that feel great to play. Now I...
