Hi guys, I really need your advice here.
I am going to buy a MIDI masterkeyboard to my Macintosh.
I have recently upgraded my operating system to Snow Leopard, and I will work with Logic Express 9.
Since my experience of keyboards is basically none, I really need your help.
I have a classic background, but I want to try something totally different. My only goal with the MIDI masterkeyboard is to replicate the special sound they have in Serbian and Bosnian folk music songs, so called turbo-folk. I will put up some links, so you can get the feel of how it sounds like.
I can see on different spots/videos that the KORG PA-synthezisers are very much used, so I wonder which MIDI masterkeyboard can reproduce this sound best?
And also, which key range is recommendable? It seems like 61 keys will do it, but I am not sure. The other option I am considering is 76 keys.
Will it contribute by playing with semi-weighted keys, or is it not necessary?
Any other advice?
Here's a few links from youtube that will pretty much sum up the sound:
I have been a frequent visitor to these webshops (Thomann and M-Audio):
MIDI Master Keyboards - U.K. International Cyberstore
M-AUDIO - MIDI Keyboard Controllers
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Brega
