It seems that you don't like the (supposedly higher tier) Roland PHA-50 action, which is interesting, but might track to other manufacturers too (similarly, you didn't like Kawai's flagship action). Hi! Keybeds are VERY subjective, but you basically have the Roland PHA-4 covered with your first three. Thanks in advance for reading and your help! So after more research I've created a short list of possibilities and it would be great to get some input as to how well each one might fit my requirements, or if there's something else that comes to mind: 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. 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.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. (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). Of course my piano VST of choice is Pianoteq and I'd like a keyboard that makes good use of the expressive range that it offers.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).
