Hi,
Due to,the age of my D50 Roland, I'm planning not to bring it too much out of the studio and to go to practice with the Stage 2 only, the C2 and the other expanders in a rack. Buy there is 10 sounds that I always use on the D50 and I like the D50 keybed for synth/waterfall organ action as a second tier on top of the stage 2
I think I could find Amie good samples of the sounds I use most of the time use live (or buy a used D550...) but I need a good 61 notes keyboard controller. I'm completely lost having never thought and tried any got the midi controller.
What do you suggest?
Thanks
Sincerely

I've grown fond of old Keystation 61ES, which can often be had ~US$100 used. If all you want is keys and don't need lots of fancy faders, knobs, buttons and pads, you can save plenty money (and buy us all a beer with the change!).

I do strongly suspect that Novation also buys their keybeds from Fatar, but never opened one to confirm.

Bless,

Pablo

edit: just checked and there are three on ebay now starting at $60!
