Members TimmyII Posted July 11, 2006 Members Share Posted July 11, 2006 hello, i compose something like modern classical music tho i'm interested in expanding to using electronic sounds as well and i'm looking for a good midi keyboard. i don't anything fancy really, no need for huge amount of sliders or effects. a touch response, a vibrato controller, a sustain pedal, the possibility of tuning the keyboard to Just Intonation and as many octaves as possible is what i'm interested in. weighted keys are optional tho i prefer them to those light plastic flaps. the price range should be from 200$ to something like 400$. what would you guys suggest? thanks.

Members BillyWa Posted July 11, 2006 Members Share Posted July 11, 2006 Yes, IIRC, my VFX is the instument I learned what different tuning were from. Or maybe it was a DW8000. Hard to find one over 61 keys though, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the m-audio pro keys meets your needs at all. It's devoted more to pianos than synths. It only has a very few synthy textures like strings and pads. These are only samples, not anything you can really dig into. It doesn't do any tunings except equal. I agree with the Ensoniq recommendation. I owned a VFX for many years. It's a very capable instrument. I believe it did about 8 different tunings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
