She's looking for something portable with a midi out on it. Are there any recommendations? I know that the options suck but would like any input. I have tried to convince her to run a oxygen8 to a laptop but she would like something that is not dependent on a computer produce sounds. Thanks PhloTron I played piano for 14 years...then went to trumpet for 10...now that I'm back to a piano I decided to get a board for myself...and then have the extras to plug it into the pc and do some fun stuff....anyway, I feel that going from 88 keys to anything less just doesn't feel right. I couldn't convince myself to go with less. I tried several boards but I just ran out of space real fast...especially trying to play anything classical...or jazz. So, I went with the low end pro/studio Alesis board. Course it was $800. Didn't have the bells and whistles of the Korg, or Rolland, but it serves it's simple purpose...plus some...so far so good. As far as 200-300...some of the yamaha's look nice, but again...plastic, non-weighted keys...ewww. good luck :D CLICK TO RETURN TO TOP OF PAGE
