Weighted Keyboard - what do they feel like?

[punkdISCO]

Good point Jay..  I always like my main controller to be more than just a keyboard but maybe I'll think about a cheap weighted keyboard should I ever have spare space..

Thanks for the tip..

When you have a surety that the keys rebound in kind to your pressure, it sort of implies a counterpoint.  Whereas the traditional Fatar-style keyboard is kind of ‘fire and forget’, with weighted keys you indulge a certain rhythm per digit.  I think, if you’re not into that, it might be a distraction - however for the case where you spent some time with a piano, of any variety, it may be a welcome respite from key plastic.

I’m quite content with my CLP, but if you ever get inclined to go weighted, you can probably do far, far better for cheap.  ’tis only a controller, don’t forget - you might spot a bargain that is a good physical device that sounds utterly naff, albeit MIDI.
