blackle « For pianists »
Published on 07/26/11 at 02:4388-key piano with MIDI control. The piano is weighted (unlike the A50) with polyphonic aftertouch. It has 4 split zones, 64 patches, 4 split points with channel, wheel, velocity, aftertouch, and program change assignation.
UTILIZATION
Technically speaking, the piano is very easy to use, but it is very poorly explained in the manual. The keyboard is very nice, it provides, partially, the sensations of an acoustic piano. It obviously isn't a Steinway or a Bösendorfer in terms of comfort, but it is a real delight to play.
OVERALL OPINION
I think it's a very good master keyboard aimed especially at pianists. Organ and synth players would be certainly thrown off by the keyboard. Despite its piano keyboard it nevertheless allows me to control some of my synthesis expanders, but also some of my virtual synths at home.
I've used it for 7 years and I am still very pleased with it. While I certainly prefer to play a real piano, I really enjoy playing it. I use it often onstage, since it's lighter and more practical to move than an acoustic piano.
Plus, it provides me some autonomy on tour, because some venues don't really observe the riders (although it's pretty rare to be totally honest). I prefer to play my A 80 rather than a cheap and out-of-tune piano.
Sarah.
