Ok, in order:

1. Nothing wrong with your JV1010, it just works and is easier in many respects to the SD2, I have both colline.

2. A good small mixer if you don't have one. Mackie is top end, Behringher is what I have. I also have a powered mixer from Behringher, but don't know your setup.

3. The Dxi synth or the Forte synth are both pretty good, not Ketron quality, but on par at times with the JV1010.

4. The sky's the limit, you need to describe your objective, and go from there.

5. Tell us what instruments you play, and who's music you want to do? Yours, or covers..?? Tex Lecor? Frigidaire? Johnny Paycheck? Tommy Hunter? iyou ca se peut ...attendez....um um Johnny Cash....Brad Paisley? Is la poubelle still open? I was there, Montreal, worked at expo 67, terre des hommes 68, lived in Verdun, puis, Mont Laurier, puis Rouyen, la baie James...non all that is made up I never was there. Leduc, ou Dugay, eh bien, lache pas la patate....
