It seems everything above 49 is all hammer action or semi-weighted....Don't want this...Anyone know where I can find this?

 

Any store that sells Audio Gear

 

M-Audio Oxygen or Keyrig is synth action. Novation SL MKII are synth action Keybords. Akai MPK and Max keyboards are synth action. Not hard to find.

 

Like i said above 49 key is not synth action....If you read my post. All the boards listed are semi-weighted or hammer action

 

Novation Launchkey 61 is synth action.

 

Long time ago I have a Roland JX-8P ... these days I use software instead and an M Audio Axiom 61. Guess that's semi-weighted as well. Sorry Maybe ebay ... uggg...

Or go pick up an old DX7 -- then you have BOTH a Classic Synth and legit MIDI Key controller
(Unless you're looking MIDI pads, faders, knobs and the like)

 

Basically im looking for this http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Keystation61es.html but NON-Weighted

I know im being picky but if it exists please let me know!!

 

Buy a nice used one, rip it apart and pull all the weights out from under the keys... put it all back together and, Walla! You have your synth action keys.

On a side note, I noticed my M-Audio Ozonic keys do not have weighted keys, but have the cavity under them to glue weights into...

 

LOL joke right? i have a yamaha Psr and its the perfect key bed. i want this keyboard to fit on my desk's pullout tray and the yamaha is simply way too large

i mean a controller like this has got to exist man...JEEZ

 

I own a Alesis QX Masterkeyboard. It's cool and have all i need, knobs, Sliders, 4 Drumpads and keys to start/stop/record/fw/rw/loop keys for a sequencer. Give it a try

 

and its a synth action keybed?

 

Roland A-800 Pro. Akai MPKs are semi-weighted... And the Alesis QX are of questionable build quality... The roland is nice though. The arturia keylab61 is a nice choice. It is technically semi-weighted but the weight is so light it feels like a nice synth action to me (I have the 49 key version).

Oh I have an Alesis QX49, Arturia Keylab49, and an M-Audio Axiom 49 MKII.

 

whalemusic99 I have an M Audio Keystation 61 es, and I don't know why they call this "weighted" as it really feel like any old synth, as the JX8P mentioned here (I had one, Good old days).

I suggest that you try one of these, if you haven't already, you may be surprised by how light they are even if called weighted.

Did you had a look at Alesis Q61 61-Key USB/MIDI Keyboard Controller?

checkout the sl mk2!

as army of ninjas said, the roland a800pro is a synth-action 61-key controller. there aren't very many choices for a good quality unweighted keybed midi controller. this is probably the best.

+1 for the launchkey 61, it's what I use.

 

Just a word of caution,
do not even consider M-Audio Axioms...
Sooner or later, they stop working and show you blue screen.
Just as mine did, 2 weeks after purchase, since it was used one, it was pretty much waste of money, right now my friend is trying to fix it somehow.
ALL Axioms are basically time bombs, it's only matter of time when they quit. Some hold up to 5 years, some die in a matter of minutes...

went with the q61 folks. only 99 on amazon. great deal! thanks for all the replies ppl

 

Whalemusic99...

I can see why you haven't been thanked before. Your attitude leaves a lot to be desired.
I too… possess M-Audio. 2 of them. Both are "semi-weighted" keys. Neither of them feel like that… I don't even know if there IS such a thing. It's a catch-phrase used to lure in keyboard players because no one (composers and real keyboard players, NOT one-finger producers!)) wants synth-action keys.
You can't play convincing dynamic performances on a synth… everyone wants a piano dynamic on a synth.

So, with that said… my M-Audio Oxygen 61 with semi-weighted keys leaves me wanting weighted action because it sucks in that department.

Why don't you quit reading specs on websites and go try the damn controllers that were recommended?
