I'm surprised you feel the need to say "we" as if you are speaking for the whole group...the consensus on 76 notes, at least here on SZ, was about 50/50 if you had been following the poll.

Beginners should be using 88 weighted keys...ask any qualified teacher.

I get by just peachy with 61 keys...you may not be able to (or not want to) adapt to five octaves, but there are many of us who do.

76 wars again...?

Can anyone see his shadow?

“Beginners should be using 88 weighted keys”
Wow! you got that right.

Unfortunately financial and logistical limitations prevent that from happening in the real world.


The pole only asked which one do people want 61, 76 or 88. My comment was stating that “you get the most use with an arranger 76 key.” Meaning that there are things you can do with a 76 key that you can not do on a 61. However, anything you can do on a 61 you can do on a 76.

If the pole was further examined, I am sure we would find that most of the 50% who stated they wanted 61 keys were doing so thinking that a 76 key arranger had to be heavy big and bulky and cost much more than a 61.
Naturally, when they think 76 key arranger, they think Roland G70 and Korg PA1X pro (heavy big and bulky).

If the question were asked a different way, the answer may be different. Don’t you just love market research?

Naaah, Diki...we can just make referrals to the old topic...at least for those with short memories.

We can't be that desperate for something to yada yada about.

You playin' today?

We examined it very thoroughly and we did not come to that conclusion, but I guess you can read whatever you want(or imagine)it to be.

Ian

why would you want more than 61 keys on the arranger.

1 octave for triggering auto-accomp. and few notes on the right to play solos

Holy hearts...

This same discussion was allready done like 8 years ago....

All anyone needs to do is a SEARCH on SZ on whatever topic you need & you'll find a wealth of information discussed my consumate professionals who know what they are talkig about.
