organsymphony Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 the m-audio keystation pro 88 seems to get a fair bit of love and seems like a decent quality thang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lperryman Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 Is that the spec of the Pro88 or another keyboard you like?...cheers Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fader8 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Anything that uses that same Fatar fully weighted keybed is going to be pretty heavy. If you need that action, the Doepfer LMK4+ is 22 kilos and is built into its own road case. That's a good bit better than the Akai's 30 kilos naked.
