Mini Keyboard for Live

[njr911]

Our singer also plays a bit of keys but we've so far not been able to adapt it for a live situation due to lack of knowledge and also space on stage.

Anyone got any suggestions as to what to get, needs not to be full size due to space restrictions, must have a fair few voices to cover the songs in our set. Easy to hook into the PA.

We play indie and rock.

Cheers

How much do you want to spend? You might think about a remote keyboard and use an iPad with a few synth apps on it. The quality of synth apps is very high and they are not that expensive. Have a look at some of the iRig keyboards. Alesis, Akai, arturia, amongst others, make remote keyboards.

Hhmn good idea!

Any reccomended synth apps

For a mini synth, try the MicroKorg.
For apps, moog Animoog is impressive, but just search for synth apps on Google/YouTube & youll get a whole load to hear.

thanks all - sounds like a good solution

Look at the Korg X50. It's based on the triton and is a fantastic addition to any keyboard players rig. It's as light as a feather too and has a 61 note keyboard. Only critism is that the keys, although playable, are very slightly shorter than normal and I mean only slightly which does take a little getting used to on those faster runs.

In my opinion you won't find better for less than £300.

I've got the Novation MiniNova, which is small and immense fun; but then I know very little about synths! Gotta love a vocoder though...
