Add this under your current arranger, and double the real estate - add weighted key expression to your pianos, and still maintain all your arranger capabilities

I just purchased the M-Audio Code61...It will be here tomorrow..
All the control this Code61 can do is great...The keybed is suppose to ne great too... Another blind purchase... but so far I have done okay , with sight unseen purchases..

BTW: I have an Edirol PC80 and a Korg Nanokontrol2 available....

For good piano action the keybed quallity is even more important then with arranger keybeds. In general you get what you pay for... now there are a few acceptable choices under €1000 ... like the roland fp30, the Casio’s and some others... but most of the. Heap keybeds are not worth it, and give a piano player more frustration then advantage over a good synthesizer keybed..

My best advise would be to buy a used high end action... there is many high end used actions available for under €1000

So go for a good action and not the fancy look.... and allways try before you buy..
