Im in between these two options. I am a piano player and i also have a motif back home. I play and write music rock-metal etc so not a traditional piano player. I also perform live (mostly organs, pads and piano). That is one reason Nektar LX61 Impact is a good value for money for me (keybed) but Novation is also very good value for money.
How important are the sounds that come with novation? How important is the easy mapping of novation? Are these realllllly important or is it just a bit hard to kickstart without them and then you learn how to do it yourself?
Ill make some basic use of it as im new to the midi world, some reverbs and effects, assigning mainly different sounds to change them during performance and i would defenitely like to split the keyboard for 2 sounds.
I would also love if there is option to have 2 sounds at the same time and all these kind of nice things like aplying the sustain pedal to only one of the two sounds (split sounds). Do all midi do that or is it just program related? Do both support the vast majority of mainstream programs out there?
If you have experience with both keyboards your input is VERY valuable to me. Thnx.
