Re: I want to buy a MIDI keyboard controller
There are many contradicting polls regarding which is "the best" weighted 88-key controller, and some of the articles weigh (pun intended) the keyboard itself and others the stuff that comes with it. If you want "everything" you better prepare to pay over a grand, but if you only need weighted keyboard even a (relatively) cheap M-Audio Hammer 88 will do.
Very rarely I have seen a pianist who needs all the whizbang and weighed keyboard together.

Re: I want to buy a MIDI keyboard controller
And you'd be out the money in a few months. They're fragile and their acoustically noisy.

Re: I want to buy a MIDI keyboard controller
All weighed keyboards are noisy, but sure, as always more money will give you better product (?) and if not at least you are more happy with it.

Re: I want to buy a MIDI keyboard controller
It's not just the weighted keyboards but all M-Audio keyboards can be very loud acoustically if not immediately but shortly down the road.

More of a concern in a studio obviously (and a non-issue if you are on headphones), but on stage where there is about 85dB or louder monitoring.. who cares about some action noise

Re: I want to buy a MIDI keyboard controller
Ever hear how loud a real concert grand piano is? Unless it's been supremely well maintained they are horrid. And the pedals are the loudest of all.

Re: I want to buy a MIDI keyboard controller
I’m finally getting my Roland A-88 into the mix. It plays wonderfully I think.
I’ll be using it for playing VSTs more than controlling transport functions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: I want to buy a MIDI keyboard controller
So now I'm really on the fence...Do I want a keyboard MIDI controller? or Do I want a wind instrument MIDI controller, like a EWI USB?
The answer obviously, is yes, I want both. But I don't want to buy both at the same time. I'm starting to lean towards the EWI USB, because it will be easier to hide from my wife, and easier to take on tour with me when I go back out.
