Sqk, also for me the key feel it's important. I know what I'd like, but also know what I could live with. I know what I do not like.

Could you maybe, if you have the right experience, tell me what of these would you consider to be close to the key feel of X500...?

1. Roland E-A7
2. Roland XP 60
3. Roland E60
4. Korg Pa50
5. Korg Pa600
6. Korg Pa3x (well...)
7. Yamaha S970
8. M-Audio Keystation 61

These are the keyboards I played and sort of remember how they feel like. Some I liked, some were ok, some I hated. smile

Thanks!


I thnik squeek answered the keybed quallity quite well, i played the mzx right after plying an ea7, i didnt like the ea7 action much, but the mzx was far worse/// cluncky at best... i do however like the casio weighted hammer action(and keyfeel)

So what did i mean when i said the yamaha awm2 has 6 layers of multisamples? Just like it reads, a yamaha sound can have 8 different samples on a key.. all these samples could sound at once, but they can also be divided over the velocity range or trigg\ered \by special comditions, like legate key-off or when a switch is active...

Korgs system is even more advanced, where you can assigne up to 18 oscilators to a single note, where an oscialtor is a multisample... the engine also has much more ways to influence the note triggering.. however where the yamaha samples are stereo, the korg samples are mono...

The mzx normal sounds consist outof a single multisample... only exception are the -iano sounds... with hexlayering you can layer up to 6 sounds



In the end, the korg engine is the most advanced
