Re: [CZsynth] Buying a 2nd keyboard... your opinion

2004-06-29 by ProDigInfo

Dear list,

Thanks everybody for your opinions. Simon Beck's reply brings an 
interesting thought: it seems a good idea to have a hammer action, 88 keys 
keyboard to play piano, while having another synth action keyb to play 
synths and organ emulation.

It seems we all love to collect old gear and 'resurrect' those monsters 
(Yamaha DX7, Roland D10/D50, Casio...) from oblivion. After all, they sound 
the same as they did in the late '80s, and they do pack an enormous amount 
of engineering and musicians work and background... you can feel it! But, 
at least in my case, I have no room in my house for a synth museum. I'd 
rather invest in a modern home studio.

For the moment, I think I'll stay with my VZ-1 and wait for an opportunity 
to buy a 88 keys keyboard. IMHO, the VZ-1 has a nice keyboard action, 
professional, not too plastic, and it seems hard like a rock. For me, it is 
enough as a midi controller and it is, of course, a really interesting 
synthesizer.

Best regards,

pdi
