Looking for a new midi keyboard

Post by chapelier fou » Sun Dec 18, 2011 10:26 am

Hey, my edirol is dying.

i want a 61 keys keyboard (with light keys).
Less than 100cm long preferably.
With both Usb and Midi.
8 faders and 8 knobs. Pads welcomed.

Akai ?
Cannot find so many edirols on the market....

i have the novation remote 61
would heartily recommend it. keys are lovely on it and a good assortment of faders, pads, encoders
plus the automap software is pretty useful
I had a cheapy m-audio keyboard before and the novation feels more robust and the keys are way more expressive

Is there a music store near you? I urge you to go try the keyboards first. Pressing the keys can feel very different from one keyboard to another.

http://www.rolandus.com/products/produc ... ductId=865 <-- Isn't that the same as the Edirol just rebranded? (Roland owns Edirol)

How much did you abuse your Edirol? Those were fairly new, kinda scary...

I'd say 200 gigs, and just on note not responding from time to time.

Thank you for the link !!!
