Piano-weighted keys are also graded across the board, with different weight in the treble to the bass. Unlike a semi-weighted synth keyboard.
For me (a keyboard hack) the best thing about piano-weighted keys is that you have to work harder to be consistent and get the tone you want. Which is rather like playing guitar. A downside is that poor technique (pinkie/4th finger strength) shows up more readily than on a semi-weighted synth keyboard.
See that surprises me. Say I had to play a game where I'd do play a piece and get as many notes hitting the same specific velocity as possible; I'd have thought I'd have a better chance with a digital piano style keyboard than on a synth style keyboard.
I assume your after a controller not synth? Whay functionality do ypu need snd what price point. Ideal size?
For years I've been looking for a weighted keyboard that's smaller than an 88 key but the only one I found was Studiologic's lowest end one which gets a bit of mixed feedback online. If there's a particular semi-weighted one you find to have good controllable action, I'd be grateful for a recommendation if it's not one I've already tried. I'm not playing Romantic piano nocturnes or anything, it's just that the semi-weighted ones I've tried already didn't seem to have enough resistance for what I'm after.
Just out of curiosity, do you use the hammer action or semi-weighted keyboards for electric piano if you use that?
As for recommendations - I dont use controllers, I use synths/pianos as controllers (as I use them for their own sounds as well). As such Im not aware of whats particularly good or bad on controllers. Good, controllable semi weighted, affordable synth to look at would be something like the Model Argon/Cobalt 8s (the 61 key version if you want a controller). they have the bonus of transmitting separate midi on every knob so can be used as a controller in a fashion.
