Hi everyone,
This one's a bit vague, but I thought I would throw something out there. I want to buy a keyboard, nothing too expensive, but something that plays and records like a piano (and has piano keys). Can anyone recommend anything that really works for them and is reliable?
Thanks,
Ale.

Jun 03, 2004 06:54 am Do want keys weighted like piano keys? ALso, do you want a keyboard that has sounds built into it, or just a controller to use external sound modules or your PC to get it's sounds?
Jun 03, 2004 02:50 pm Yes, I do want keys weighted like piano keys, and yes, I do want sounds built into it. Unless it's better to let my PC do that. Err, not sure really. Help.
Ale.

Jun 03, 2004 10:30 pm Roland and Yamaha make the best paino weighted stage pianos out there. They are however not cheap. Visit their sites and take a look at what they have. Kurzwiel also makes a good stage piano, but they are a bit more expensive yet.

Jun 04, 2004 06:40 am Alesis is pretty good. I have an Alesis DG8 that works great live but for recording, not exactly what I'm looking for. I'm going to play the QS8.2 tomorrow to see if I like that.
Yep, Roland and Yamaha have a great sound. Love the string sample on the Yamaha's.

I am thinking of buying an alesis QS8.2 - just wondering if anyone has tried it/has one and what they're like.
Cheers,
Ale.

Jun 07, 2004 11:27 am I played it over the weekend and absolutly loved it. Had a great deal on ebay but when I came back to buy it, someone else got it. I was so mad I about "Hulk-ed" out (hence my title).
The weird string sounds was amazing, that's what really got my attention
