i have to disagree with u bout the cheap keyboard... if ur input is not sensitive or 'cheap'.. the result that come out sure flat one.. u can get wat i mean by imagine pc-keyboard as a midi input and all ur sound is flat as square..mayb ur 'cheap' is those keyboard range around rm700 then i agree that icon_rolleyes.gif 

Even expensive digital piano doesnt have the realistic sound compare to sampler, i don think that an xpensive digital piano have gigabytes of spaces,at least 1GB of RAM and a powerful cpu build in to recreate real piano like what soft sampler mean to..i prefer to bundle a mid-end midi keyboard with a good sampler

Yes, sorry I missed that part about 'non sensitive touch' keyboard. But nonetheless, the sounds produced are the same except without velocity touch sensitive, the playing will be different.

As for expensive digital piano, I'm not really sure, but do check out those really expensive ones, like Digital Grand, Workstations, Stage Pianos, etc...
If you check out those Digital Stage Piano/Workstations, they usually have slot for sampler card to slot in for additional sound samples. But these Stage Piano usually requires powerful and flat frequency response speakers to produce accurate, fast, smooth sound.

Anyway, when plug into PC, then for sure it's more powerful, opening to various possibilities/flexibilities. But my point is, any keyboard/digital piano with MIDI output can be used as a MIDI controller. So for TS scenario, he could just settle with a Digital Piano for flexible playing and connect to the PC for other samplings.

try m-audio. theyre available at SMX, times square, 7th floor. m-audio budget keyboard controllers have a nicer feel, more durable and are almost the same price as ESI ones (which can be found elsewhere, such as midi specialist)

Try Yamaha PSR-E403 or Casio CTK-800 / 810 . These 2 works too but depends on how many keys do you want .

PSR-E403 cost around Rm1200 with everything ( 61 Keys )
Casio CTK-800/810 cost around Rm1300 ( 88 Keys )

Price may change without any prior notice.

Tumpang thread...

Got a question. Anyone knows where to get a proper piano chair? Something to match with a portable keyboard. Foldable and adjustable height will be a plus.

It is call piano bench. Piano Station in Summit USJ has it. By the way, only some piano bench has the adjustable height feature but not foldable.

If you are mobile with your keyboard, maybe you can get a drum throne instead:

Jusco and Toys'R'us got a lot of those, and they're good enough imo.

Lets see...Durable...Long-lasting...Sound nice...Well known for parts and repairs...Easier to maintain cause there are forums about them ( I think ) I personally owns a PSR-E403 and im very happy about it

Can try 2nd handed stuff ... KL or West Malaysia has many places that sells them don't they ? Maybe Casio might work it out ... Below Rm300 really hard to find except for those ''UNBRANDED''

No one can guarantee as keyboard is a very complicated machine which allows it to generate more than 500+ sounds and be programmed...

But if she is happy with the one she found , It will be good for her =)
