Hi,
I'm a drummer/band leader writing on behalf of our keyboard player, who's an extremely accomplished pianist but has very little experience with electronic gear. She needs a rig for gigs that...
- has a great action, like a real piano
- is very easy to use in terms of selecting (and switching between) sounds quickly
- can split the keyboard into two voices
- can store preset splits (that are quick and easy for the player to select once they're stored)
- has basic sounds: acoustic piano, organ, synth, brass, strings. (Our set list doesn't require a huge palette.)
- isn't tremendously heavy.
I'd be most grateful for any recommendations or advice. I'm not sure of her price tolerance so I'd like to be able to pass along suggestions in several "neighborhoods": ~$250; ~$500; ~$750; ~$1,000; ~$1,500. We're not averse to used gear if it's reliable.
Thanks in advance!
