GIVE ME A G70 KEYBOARD (JUST THE KEYS!!) - 11/28/04 05:54 PM

I want your advice !
I think, Roland since G800-G1000 have a VERY good reponse 76 KEYS Keyboars. The best synth type touch keyboard of the world!
I want to know if you think that roland can sell to me just a G70 76 keys keyboard, without all the other things ! just the keys!!! (I want to put it in another keyboard, but it's a secret!!!)
Who I must contact for this? Do you think Roland can sell thoses keys as a separate part? (the repair services can perhaps have them... I hope they are not cost too much money !!)
I love thoses long keys ! just when I see them !

Not to ruin UD's chances of a sale, but sounds like your looking for a Keyboard Controller instead of a full blown workstation. Studiologic has great keyboards which can control other keyboards and rack units via midi. It's probably much cheaper in the long run.

kbrkr is right. Sounds like you're needing a good contoller keyboard. Studiologic does make some nice ones.. Actually I don't know if it's still being sold, but there was an 88 key (semi-weighted) contoller by Studiologic for like $299. That's a great deal.

Aw.....I'm just playin'. If thgis thing never sells, it's still worth the price tag to sit in my studio as a Roland GM/GS sound source with good, tight key action, and great controller options.

What difference between G800 / G1000 / G70 keys? are they the same?

I don't think the 88 semi-wheigted keys of Studiologic are good as the Roland one (i have a studiologic SL161 and Its very classic)

The Roland keys are long ! i like that... I don't know why

Dan,
the G70 is supposed to have the same keys as the G1000 and the G800.

They are long, but also very comfortable
It's pleasure to play with them.

The secret, is that I want to create my own keyboard, with a PC inside to go in gigs with all my soft synth, all in one box.

So first, I want to buy the keys, my choice go to the 76 keys.
With a 61 keys I m limited sometimes...
And the 88 Keys are too heavy and too big to carry...
So for me 76 keys is the best choice
and Roland one is the best synth touch to my taste...

If you could, what the keys you want to have in your custom keyboard?

Hmmmm..... so far the PA1x is my favorite keybed ( I think ) I was surprised that the pro model did not feel as solid to me. I like the SD1 feel too.

Dan,
yes again: the VA76 has the same keys as the G1000.
