Can anyone comment on the keys? I had a psr 530, 630 , & then 640 and then a yamaha ex-5.
I hated the psr series for two things - i get bored hearing the same sounds and secondly, the keys are flimpsy and also not full size/ semi-weighted. I have always loved to tweak sounds and so moved to ex-5 which is an amazing keyboard w.r.t sounds and also the feel of the keys were awesome. but, i badly missed the accompaniment feature and it had a lot of bugs (yamaha's keyboard are well known for bugs, i guess).

Now, i decided to get an accompaniment keyboard and buy a synth module for more sounds. does any of the arranger keyboards have semi-weighted keys? or am i better off buying a arranger module and a synth keyboard/controller ?

Ram, Roland G1000 has semi-weighted keys,,76 of them....Fran

The General Music SK760 has semi-weighted keys ... 76 of them.

hi, thanks for your replies. I do know that there are 76 key arrangers but i prefer the sounds/features of psr9000 or solton x1. Can someone comment on the keys of solton x1 in particular? are they semiweighted keys/full size keys? are the keys of psr 9000 better than 8000 ?

How easy is the solton x4 module to use? midi capabilities with an yamaha, korg or roland keyboard / controller ? anyone knows the selling price (not the retail) of x4 ?

also, can someone tell me how easy is to tweak the sounds in solton x1?

thanks
ram

Ram, The keys on the X1 are semi weighted, full size and feel good,,,better than the psr9000...Fran

It is very easy to edit sounds on the X1/X4. Just push the edit voice function key and you're there! At this point you can change filter, envelope, LFO, etc. and then hit save/enter and you can save your sound. The 8000 and 9000 keyboards are the same action, and as Fran said the X1 is semi-weighted. The keys look just like any other 61 note synth keyboard, but if you feel under the key you will feel a glued in weight. This is what makes it semi weighted. The selling price for a X4 will vary because there will be 4 different models offered. If you want prices you will have to contact one of us dealers directly. I don't quote discount prices on this forum. This forum is primarily to discuss topics and ask questions about keyboards and the way they work.
