88 keys masterkeyboard suitable for attaching an lcd screen /mousepad?
Hi,
I would like to set up my gear with only a pc with cubase and plugins, a 88 keys weighted masterkeyboard and a good usb audio interface. In other words, I want to set up an oasys-like work environment. I can't seem to find a masterkeyboard which is designed to also offer enough space to attach / place an lcd flatscreen and a mousepad. There are workstations with the pc right build in but they don't come with a good keyboard, are expensive and probably not easily upgradable. The only masterkeyboards that would suit my needs halfway are the yamaha kx-8 and maybe a fatar model. Is there someting more suitable or are my requirements too exotic? TIA for any hint, Regards DC |

If that's what you want, you need to look at separate pieces and do your own system engineering to put the pieces together. Find a keyboard that has the feel and controls that you like. It will have a MIDI output (and probably input as well, for setup). Add a USB interface that includes a MIDI port or two and as many audio channels as you want. This could be as simple as an M-Audio Fast Track Pro. Find a keyboard "workstation" stand that has a shelf for a monitor. You can probably find a place for the mouse somewhere. Open Labs introduced the concept of a standard PC built into a case with a display, QWERTY keyboard, trackball or mouse, and black-and-white keyboard, but most of their products are designed for portability so I don't think they make one with an 88-key keyboard. They're more open (for upgrading) than a purpose-built workstation like the Korg Oaysis, but they're pretty expensive. -- If you e-mail me and it bounces, use your secret decoder ring and reach me he double-m-eleven-double-zero at yahoo -- I'm really Mike Rivers ) |

I saw the Open Labs units and I like to concept, but I don't need portability but rather a good keyboard. Also, I think PC- hardware ages faster than the rest of the gear. A workstation stand is a good idea, it would also be nice to have some additional space for other equipment. I just have to find a decent one. Regards DC |
