Small keyboard to pair with Rhodes?

[EvanBingham]

I've been looking at something small to throw on top of my Rhodes.  Either something for lead or bass.  Maybe Synth.  I just play for fun and enjoy neo-soul.  Want something affordable, maybe two octaves.  Any ideas?

A few ideas: Microkorg, Roland JDXI, Novation mininova.

I have a lot of love for my Korg R3.

Ended up ordering a Roland SE-02 with the mini keyboard attachment.  I figured analog would be more fun

 I usually have a Moog Sub37 or a Nord Electro on top of the Rhodes.  Neither is particularly affordable mind you but they’re both superb at what they do...  I had a Yamaha MX-something for a while which was 6X cheaper,  more portable and more flexible than either of those - and sounded brilliant - but the action was so flimsy I sold it before I started snapping keys.

Moog sub37 looks great.  SE-02 was ok, but ended up selling it because of the small keys and knobs.  That Sub37 interests me now though.

I've got a roland JD-XI and a korg micro preset on top of my rhodes. JD-XI for the bass and micro-preset for leads (usually).

If I were buying something today and didn't have either, I'd probably pick up behringer ms-101 (the sh101 clone). looks awesome for not much money at all

I have to give a shout-out to my Behringer Model D, Behringer's $299 version of a Minimoog, which I've paired with a 32-key Arturia Keystep.  I've never owned a Minimoog, but many who have claim the Behringer sound pretty much matches the real deal.

Alan, is that Behringer monophonic, polyphonic, or switchable?

[Alan Lenhoff]

It's monophonic. It basically replicates the Minimoog functionality, although it does have a few additional features.  (For example, you can switch it between low-note priority, high-note priority or last-note priority.)

Very cool little device that makes lots of wonderful fat sounds!  For me, it's a way to learn the basics of analog synthesis for a small fraction of the price of a Minimoog.
