Hi Lynn,

One reason that "keyboards" have so many sounds is that each sound is
inherently boring--so they need lots and lots of "goofy" sounds. It is like
the organ *boom*. Organs were popular not because they were *good* but
because they were cheap. Your basic casio keyboardist is going no where
musically speaking.
