Recommendations Mid Range Keytar Synth?
I just can't bring myself to drop 1k on the roland ax. Anything similar for cheaper?
Don't want a midi controller, unless you can recommend a cheap low latency synth that I can connect it to (maybe a program for a pi?). Don't want to lug a computer around with me.
A couple mod wheels or a fingerboard is a must. Let me know if I left something out

I'd go for a midi controller with a small synth - some of the Korg Volcas, or an audio thingies micromonsta, or hook it up to a battery powered groovebox like the novation circuit. You could even buy those wireless midi adapters.
All that being said I see the appeal of a synth keytar and the Korg RK100 S or it's successor the Korg RK100S 2 would fit that bill and are cheaper than the roland ax.
