Re: I want to buy a MIDI keyboard controller
I had the SL73 note version. The action was very nice but… I found it almost impossible to get full velocity out of it. No amount of fiddling with velocity scaling/sensitivity made a difference.
The joystick controllers are also an acquired taste. I absolutely hated them.

I have wanted to get a Komplete 49 mk2 since I use so much of Komplete, but I have this feeling that they should be releasing an mk3 version any day now and I don't want to purchase the day before they release the new version. I have an Akai MPK mini and I absolutely LOVE the feel of the pads on that thing. So I have been leaning to possibly going with an Akai and giving that a go.

Re: I want to buy a MIDI keyboard controller
Most of us need those. On that note take note of where those are placed - a lot of 88 key 'boards place them above the keys instead of just to the left of the keys as is normal. Think about if you really want to reach over the keyboard for what one uses pitch bend/mod wheels - it ain't comfortable for any length of time. Been there/suffered that as it screwed up my carpal tunnel.

Re: I want to buy a MIDI keyboard controller
Finally closing in on this: Kurzweil KM88 vs M-Audio Hammer 88? They look very similar except I like the M-Audio's pitch/mod wheels vs the Kurz joystick. Thoughts?

Well you have a preference. Go with your intuition.

I've played a LOT of different piano-action keyboards and there were only two that didn't give me double notes (and I'm a trained piano player). One was any Kurzweil and the other was an 88 key Yamaha synth. |
