Well to be honest I wouldn't risk it with that NeKo or whatever. I bought V-synth GT, spent way way too much cash, then sold it (didn't like the work flow at all ! piece of crap imo) and bought a used Motif XS6 which Im very hapy with.
Anyway, I wouldn't go with any "do it all" box, cause it wont do it all, it won't do even half and sometimes it may become a one-trick-pony after a month.
As I said : fast computer, appropriate software, GOOD MONITORS, preferably good headphones, GOOD INTERFACE + a midi keyboard will go a long way. BTW I don't know of any serious producers who uses this kind of ... NeKo or whatever, but I do know guys who get serious world-wide releases working on Fruity Loops and DJ headphones (no monitors even) ... don't ask me how :haha: |

Well that's easy. Everybody knows how to download software for free these days and a fair ammount of people know how to steal headphones from the shop.
A Neko however is pretty big and inconvenient to carry out of the store unnoticed. That's why not much people have released music made with the Neko. |

| Timbaland produced Justin Timberlake's 'Sexy Back' song with the Neko... just an example. |

You should know a Neko is just a PC with a bunch of plugins and a keyboard built in one.
You seem to be eager to buy it. I wouldn't recommend it as said earlier. 4K is just way too much to invest in a hobby you haven't even started yet. |

or at least he got payed to SAY he did...
getting 4k per unit, they can probly afford to get him to say that! :haha:
as if it's some musical marvel anyway! you could produce that track with any average software, but you wouldn't be wasting the money...

VERY true: i know 2 boys who have been getting hammered by the world's top djs: 1 uses fruityloops, the other uses his laptop, headphones and nothing else...
it's about how you use it, not the size or expense of it |

Get propellerhead reason, monitors and a midi keyboard/controller.
If you like it, you can later on use other gear and rewire reason. |
