I believe Donny even sets his velocity touch at the level setting that almost nulifies dynamics...

A solid full size semi weighted keyboard aids in expressive playing...such as guitar, piano, and actually any sound this side of the organ..

Keep those PSR keys ..I want a man's key-bed...




Well your wrong on the velocity & pedal counts .....but again, the proof is in the pudding.....what it "sounds like" in the end result & what people hear is what counts be it heavy weight which I hate....
or lightweight fast action keys who cares the talent is "in you always" so someone thinks they have the greatest key-feel but then someone sound like crap because they are not good players wheres the logic in that?...lets add in the old 61 vs 76 key arguments too that's always good for a pissin' contest..
This discussion again must be backed up with SOUND DEMOS by the participants or its just here say & personal choice as usual...sorry. Or maybe listen to the great Tyros demos & S900 demos with their lightweight keybeds demos I dont hear a problem with the sonic realism do you?
