Hi guys. I need suggestions on whether i should purchase an M50 88 keys or M3 61 keys as im stuck between my own needs and priorities.
I usually do more recordings on synth music (electronica, trance, house) but i play more leisurely with the piano sounds than actually doing more recordings with the piano patches. This is when i still have my own midi controller but now i have just sold it away. However, i believe the purpose for me to purchase the keyboard will still remain the same. To record synth and play piano.
The M50 will have 88 weighted keys which is ideal for piano playing, but i was wondering that would it be practical to use it to record electronic music for the long term as it actually takes a longer time for the keys to bounce back. I need to move fast for a synth style playing. If its a matter of getting used to it then i dun tink it's that bad isnt it? I dunno. Sound wise, its really good for the low price but the M3 is seriously more tempting with KARMA built in.
The M3 will have 61 semi weighted keys which is more ideal for synth style playing. The semi weighted keys are seriously one of the best that i have ever felt within its class but when i tried to play piano i feel that the M3 doesnt have enough depth for me to express the exact weight on the keys. I dun really need the sampling function either cuz usually i dun sample sounds. I could have just switched to another VST to record whenever i want. The really attractive part is the KARMA arppegiattor and the synth modules which are seriously making me drool. It somehow sounds a lot better than the M50. KARMA is making this machine 3x more creative than the M50 and also the built in drum pads are gonna make playing much easier in a way as well.
In any case, most probably i wont be playing gigs with the keyboards as im after all more as a guitarist. A keyboard is just as a 2nd pleasure and to assist in my own production.
So guys, i need your opinions. All will be appreciated. Cheers!! =)
