Hey all, I think it is finally time to replace my Yamaha P300 digital piano, which is almost 16 years old now and is beginning to show its age -- several keys have become unresponsive, and the instrument has suddenly developed a noticeable warble on every patch. (A full factory reset did not solve the problem.)
I'm thinking of going with a master keyboard controller plus software instrument -- most likely the Pro version of the Garritan Steinway, which sounds head and shoulders above everything else I've heard (based on the available online samples, at least). But I'm open to alternatives if anyone has suggestions. Where I'm most in need of advice is with regard to the keyboard controller -- I'm looking for a nice, authentically piano-like weighted action. Don't need any onboard sounds. Don't want to break the bank. I'm hoping to get a complete package (including a pair of studio monitors I can place on top of the keyboard) for under $1000 (and the Garritan software is $400). Cheers, - DJA ----- WEB: http://www.secretsocietymusic.org _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
