Members Kittie Rose Posted October 29, 2007 Members Share Posted October 29, 2007 Looking for a cheap, compact, light old synth/keyboard with 61 semi-weighted keys(yes I know this makes it big but as small as can be for this), a pitch controller and a couple of other controllers. Nothing fancy. I aleady have a cheap, light heavy synth with those requirements but it's far too heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ElectricPuppy Posted October 29, 2007 Members Share Posted October 29, 2007 An ole Korg Poly-800 comes to mind, but I think it's only 49 keys. It fits the old/cheap/small/light-ish bill, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Synthoid Posted October 29, 2007 Members Share Posted October 29, 2007 Cheap & light.....but not exactly a synth--the Yamaha PSR series. Carry under one arm, 61 keys, and has pitch bend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bruto Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 Roland Alpha Juno 2 - very reliable nice DCO analog synth. They usually sell for $200 - $270. Yamaha DX7II. Excellent keys. http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Yamaha-DX7-II-FD-Digital-Progamable-Synthesizer_W0QQitemZ330179688235QQihZ014QQcategoryZ38091QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Also, look for Yamaha YS-100 or YS-200. Funny looking synths but sound fine and have excellent, wide mod and pitch wheels. Usually under $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ElectricPuppy Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 I would NOT call the DX7's or any ilk a "light-weight" keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny looking synths but sound fine and have excellent, wide mod and pitch wheels. Usually under $100. Hmm, probably worth looking for the Yamaha YS series. What's that newer analogue modelling synth they do actually? The board I already have is a ROLAND though and it's {censored} heavy, made out of solid steel or something like that, the U-20. I'd rather have one that's made out of strong plastic. I just need something to practice keys on, so I don't mind what sounds it has really.

Members thenagus Posted October 31, 2007 Members Share Posted October 31, 2007 If you can live without the semiweigted keys and you're just looking for virtual analogue sounds, Yamaha AN1Xs can be had incredibly cheaply nowadays. Very light, aftertouch, ribbon controller. And sounds good for something so cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
