lowdowner Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I need some help! Our band is in need of a keyboard player and we're having difficulty finding one locally so - as I used to play piano in my yoof (!) - I offered to play some keyboards on song intros where the bass isn't so prominent... at least until we get a keyboard player so I need some advice for a reasonably priced, around 4 octave (don't want to lug around a huge thing) keyboard with pressure sensitive keys, midi, preferably sound sample updatable software, etc. etc. Any ideas to what I should get and from where - are there keyboard specific shops that can give me advice when I buy? thanks for any info/comment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Duncan at Digital Village cambridge is a keyboard player (as a lot of them there are) so they should be able to help you out. If cambridge doesn't suit you then any digital village is generally good. What's your budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm... don't know how much I need to spend. i'd prefer to buy well and buy once i guess... maybe up to £1K tops... although i'd have to save a few pennies *gulp* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdowner Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 I've just looked at the prices at digital village and perhaps I am going to need to spend more? Cripes!.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Digital village will guarantee lowest prices, they're pretty handy I have a Korg M50 which sounds pretty damn sweet if I do say so myself. Keyboards are definitely a try before you buy though (and they make bass playing look cheap!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdowner Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 The M50 seems to be really well thought of by online reviewers... I'll try to track one down to check it out... Thanks for the steer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westie9 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 There are some good Nord's coming onto the 2nd hand market now. What type of sounds are you after? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
