Faustt Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 I really have no idea at all what to buy. right now I have a PSR 170 that all I really use it for is a MIDI controller. as a controller it's fine, kinda. Im starting to take paino lessons so something a bit more..... less shitty is needed. lol Heres what I need it to do, which isnt much really: full sized all 88 keys velocity senstive weighted or "semi" weighted and have a midi ports or some sort of USB setup what I dont need: extra sounds anything synth related I did some quick searching and couldnt find much info. I really just need a basic paino without all the bells and whisles. oh, this is on a students budget, so the cheaper the better. 100-250 range (is that even reasonable?) is good, but can go a bit higher if Im buying something that will last a long time. am I looking for way too much? thanks! *edit* went to musicians friend.com and was presented with pricing. I think Im screwed =D. maybe something used I should be looking for? Quote
Synth Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 I don't think you can get a 88 key keyboard for that range. I have a yamaha DGX and it only has 72 keys( i think) and it was a little over $300. Quote

Or this : http://www.zzounds.com/item--MDOKEYSTAT88 Or even this: http://www.zzounds.com/item--MDOKEYSTAT88ES which has all your criteria filled. 100-250 range (is that even reasonable?) Nope . *edit* went to musicians friend.com and was presented with pricing. I think Im screwed =D. maybe something used I should be looking for?

DZComposer Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Man, I should have bought my Keystation 88 pro from there. I would have saved $100, not to mention the OCR benefit. :/ Quote
