The PSR's light synth action made it difficult to play some parts, but after several attempts (and a few choice words) I pulled of a one shot with minimal playing mistakes.

I think it's time I get my hands on a full 88 weighted controller. I do get the chance several times a week to play on an actual piano, but in my home set up it's all synth action keys.



A second hand or even a new Yamaha P85 or P95, they are both sweet feeling 88's, with midi, Squeak.

I've been beating around the idea of getting that new Casio PX5S synth...it supposedly has a great weighted 88 note keyboard, and the synth is a killer..

Even though you were handicapped by the light action, it sure didn't sound like it...lots of expression!

PS I've heard good things about the Kross 88.
