My (quite possibly incredibly naive) hope is that between the JX-08 and the MC-101 I haven't yet bought, pretty much all my non-computer-based needs will be met. 4 tracks on the MC-101 and the bi-timbral JX-08 is more than enough I'd wager. Also means I don't need to faff around with a mixer.
Not sure what sort of stuff you'd be looking for in terms of a keyboard synth, and I haven't personally tried one, but the Hydrasynth Explorer does look like a lot of fun, for not a whole lot of money. Or you could buy my Reface CS ;)

Would you mind uploading one of the tracks? I am really interested in getting one, never had a hardware synth and would be quite a novice and would like to see what you can achieve in a relatively short time.

been having fun with the electribe over the last few weeks. there's so many functions i haven't even looked at yet, but have got to grip with the basics and made some fun tunes i'm happy with
it's so much easier than using pc based music making software, hands on knobs is just so much more intuitive and quicker than trying to adjust a button on a screen with a mouse. it's quick to programme a percussion sequence then add in tune, effects and melody. inputs via touchpad or sequencer or record live. half the sound samples seem to be the drums and cymbals which are all quite similar but there are a nice range of synths and effects and sound samples to play with. i'd give it a 9/10
i know it's way too early, but planning ahead what is the next bit of kit i should be thinking about ? maybe a different manufacturer for a different range and take on the sound samples. keyboard synth or load up on another groove box or something else
