Not too difficult to transport by one person Supports continuous pedaling (full range of pedaling, not on/off or on/half/off) Can be used as MIDI controller with a DAW I don't have the space nor the money to have multiple types of 88-key keyboards, so it should be something that can easily be moved onto/off of my computer desk as needed. My piano VST of choice is Pianoteq and I'd like a keyboard that makes good use of the expressive range that Pianoteq offers as a physically modeled piano.Īfter further consideration, I decided it would suit me better to get something that has onboard sound and can be used to get my toes wet with the occasional gig, jamming with friends, etc, as well. The key action is the most important thing to me since I want to record a lot of piano-centric pieces in a neoclassical or hybrid cinematic vein, and I am used to playing acoustic piano. (Some contenders that I ruled out based on the feel were the Arturia Keylab 88 MKII, Native Instruments S88 MKII, M-Audio Hammer 88 Pro, Roland FP90X and Kawai VPC1). My budget is up to 1200 USD.Īt first, I was including 88-key MIDI controllers with no built-in sound, and had narrowed it down to the Studiologic SL88 Grand, Roland A-88 MKII, or Roland FP30X, based on key feel after trying them out in the store. I'm a piano-oriented hobby singer/songwriter and composer looking to upgrade my setup with an 88-key stage piano that will also serve as a MIDI controller at my workstation (using Ableton Live and Cubase).
