Re: Roland E-66 Arranger Keyboard
I have an E-66 keyboard-used it forever-but now a few select keys have lost thier ability to emit touch sensitvity even when the button is selected. A C4, D3 and other D notes on the keyboard as well. Makes it very hard to play without turning down the total piano volume & matching that with the other layers - bass, drums & etc.
I have tried several times to do a master reset on the E-66 but it does not change the status-those keys still get no touch sensitivity. Could it be a piece of dust somewhere or is there something somebody could recommend short of scraping an old & trusted reliable keyboard such as this one? Please help here or email me at

Hey there, I am a 20 year old student(first hint of a low budget) and have been playing the guitar for round about 5 years and decided to start playing the keyboard as there was one around the house. I am going to university in late September and so I cannot play the keyboard anymore, besides it's a Yamaha PSR E303 which I've not heard too good things about, and so I was wanting to buy a new keyboard to personalise.

At first I wanted just a keyboard with different sounds and such (which I now know to be an arranger), but the more I read I discovered about workstations and such. This got me intrigued as I had planned on starting my own beats and such, making my own music, and after messing around on my mother's keyboard I found it much more interesting and fun and easy to do it on the keys. As such I am now interested in getting a workstation as I can do all this on it, however my budget is limited to £400 GBP, maybe around $600 USD, and I am absolutely swamped in information and don't have any experience and so I am currently blind in this area of models. I can possibly stretch it if I think it's worth it but I am not that willing to go above that.

My dilemma is, I don't have a clue about keyboard models apart from the fact that Roland and Korg, and Yamaha, are the best and probably the only ones to get, so I am stumped as to what keyboard to get.
Furthermore is it possible to buy a better quality keyboard of another type which is a cheaper type overall, such as arranger) and use it as a MIDI board I think, and play it through software on the laptop, basically when combined with my laptop becomes a workstation. I did think of a MIDI controller such as a MicroKorg but I would like to have a keyboard I can just switch on and jam to.

Which of the two would be a better solution and for my budget what would be the best option in terms of actual models? If possible, this budget would include some speakers for the keyboard as well.

What I would like in detail would be:
- To produce my own music either from the keyboard itself or through the laptop or both
- Good sounds, basically all or most of them anyways as they're what matter imo
- Something that will last me a while and I won't outgrow and maybe need replacement in about 5-6 years
- Wheels and knobs for effects, vibrato, pitch bend etc
- Maybe some accompaniments from random arppegiators such as on the MM6 or the Korg KARMA feature

Doesn't have to hit all these, sounds and music production would be my main features I am looking for. I know it's a pretty low budget but this is where you guys can help me out to get something with less features or something to fit my budget.

If it is, help me decide: Casio LK-230 or Yamaha EZ-200

If it is not, help me decide: Casio CTK-3000 or Yamaha YPT-220
