I want a new or used synth keyboard under $150 for used and under $200 new. I am planning on making an EP with covers of 3 folk songs (American, Indonesian, and La Bamba or La Paloma), 1 older foreign song, and an original song about birds. I plan on using some cheesy instrument emulations like harmonica, violin, accordion, strings, piano, guitar, and brass. Maybe also drum beats would be cool.
I’m looking at different ROMpler home keyboards and arrangers, old Casio stuff (even though I have a SK-1), and Yamaha PSS/PSR stuff. This is because I’m going for that old school disco reggae, disco dangdut, and disco keroncong sound from Indonesia.
Here’s 7 different examples of what I want to sound like. P.S.: what kind of sounds can you hear in these songs?

I’m looking for those cheap late 80’s/early to mid 90’s Asian ROMpler/Casio/home keyboard sounds without software (I have too much) or breaking the bank (under $150 used or $200 new).
I have a Casio SK-1, Yamaha MX49, and Korg Minilogue and some software like the Korg M1, Korg Wavestation, and Dexed but those don’t have all the sounds I want even though they have some close, except I like the SK-1 piano and certain MX49 bell and synth sounds. I’m a sucker for those old Indonesian 90’s disco synths, I know they used an M1 and DX7 in this stuff for sure but not sure about some of the other sounds (maybe a Technics keyboard like the KN-800 or KN-1000 and maybe a Juno or JX8P for some sounds and definitely samplers that could load Zero G Datafile).
