Keyboards I've been looking at within my budget such as the M-Audio Oxygen 61 V3 () does not have weighted keys but neither does it have Velocity Sensitive Keys or Aftertouch?. I don't want a keyboard MIDI controller with weighted keys. I ask this as I thought about the Kurz PC3 some time ago, but it is too expensive for me, and the PC3-LE seems, even being a 64 voice model, a good representation of the bigger brother PC3 and a lot cheaper.I use Garritan libraries in both Finale 2010 and sonar. What do you think about the PC3-LE? would it be suitable and as flexible as the PC3 as far as MIDI controller is concerned? Add in Dynamic VAST and the Roland and Kurz would be a powerful combination. I don't have an Integra-7, but I do have a Kurz PC3 and yes, it is extremely flexible/powerful as a MIDI controller and really easy to use at least in my experience, but, I'm used to Kurzweil's UI so ease of use is of course subjective, but, the flexibility is there and as mentioned, you have great sounds too! The KB3 engine kicks ass with B3 stuff and VA-1 is a powerful virtual analog. Is it flexible and easy to use as a controller?

Oh, plus it has some great sounds (particularly its B3 emulator). Its 76-keys, semi-weighted, 9 sliders, plenty of buttons, and one of the most flexible customizable MIDI configuration options around.

I've been reading about the Keyboard action a lot, but as my experience with different keyboards is limited to Acoustic Piano, Roland RD-170 Stage Piano, Fantom Xa, RS-70 (similar Keyboard to Xa), the PCR and the A-PRO, I can't say much about the keyboard action, but for my playing both the PCR and the A-Pro have very good synth action keybeds, both with Velocity Curves and Aftertouch. We can change Active Part (default=Upper) MIDI channel freely by setting it on the Endless Rotary Encoder.

We can set the Keyboard MIDI channels like this: However it is only possible to assign any MIDI channel to the Active Keyboard Part (Upper or Lower, not both like on the PCR) The A-Pro is much easier to configure but it has less controllers and it is not possible to change the MIDI channel of the non-active part (default=Lower Part)ġ3 Configurable buttons (8 of them for DAW Transport Controls)Ħ1 Velocity sensitive Keys and AftertouchĢ Separate MIDI channels (for Single, Dual or Split Keyboard functions). Each channel could be assigned any MIDI channel on-the-fly (cool for live work) I lost some time to get it right in the first place, but after getting all my Control Maps done, I forgot about it and it is just power it on and play.ħ Configurable buttons (4 of them for DAW Transport Controls)Ĥ9 Velocity sensitive Keys and AftertouchĢ Separate MIDI channels (for Single - Upper/Lower, Dual or Split Keyboard functions). Especially when saving your new settings. The PCR-500 is very flexible but not very easy to configure if you want to do it on a hurry. I like both the PCR-500 and the A-800 PRO, the A-PRO is really a follow-up from the PCR series, with some advantages and a BIG disadvantage, that I'll detail. The buttons can control other ON/OFF parameters like: Acoustic Variations 1-4, portamento, harmonics, mute, etc. The knobs are being used to control Cutoff and Resonance for at least two of the channels (Solo synths), and things like: Reverb, Chorus, Growl, Strum effect, etc

The sliders give full control over the 16 MIDI channel "volumes"
ROLAND PCR 800 SET VELOCITY LEVEL PRO
I have a Cakewalk A-800 Pro and a PCR-500, and I use both to control the Integra in order to have up to 4 different sets of sounds (layered or not), and the two give me a lot of buttons, knobs and sliders so I can control several parameters at the same time. Looking for something preferably with 61 keys minimum and open to thoughts and/or suggestions. How do you find its integration with the Integra ? Venn Diagram wrote:What are you all using ?
