Legitimately asking about Piano controllers.... sorta.
I have a 76 note very old Roland MKB300(?) 76 note (E-G) keyboard. It's a tank. It's part of a setup I need to trim some weight from.
What i'd like is 73 or preferably 76 keys of piano action. 88 won't fit in the setup. Not genuine legit piano action (which is only found on a grand piano, yes, i get that), but sort-like-piano-ish action. Doesn't have to be weighted, because I don't want the weight, but has to have some feel to it beyond on/off switches.
No Chopin recitals on this one. Just some AP, EP playing. Right now, the MKB runs a Kurzweil microPiano module. So yeah, meat-and-potato sounds.
If it has sounds, fine, as long as they're very good. If not, it'll still control the KW module.
Any ideas? I simply haven't been keeping up with the market and naturally everything is hyped in the ads. The ideal keyboard would weigh very little but still play fairly nicely. Certainly doesn't have to be perfect.
I had thought of one the Yamaha Pianaggero (?) models - very light, only a few pounds, but there's no "piano" touch to it at all. And it doesn't squirt midi. As the KW sounds outpace the Yamaha sounds it would still need to control a module, which it can't.
I'm open for ideas. Wasn't looking to spending Nord money on this, either unless that's all there is.
