From Studiologic's homepage on VMK-161:
"The VMK-161 Plus provides the world famous full-size 61 key TP40GH with graded hammer action keys that give you a true piano-like feeling. No other keyboard has ever achieved this level of popularity and quality – just touch it, feel it and you will love it!"
I don't want a graded hammer action keybed that feels like a piano, that's exactly what I do not like. Also it is way too deep which is a problem... I want my master keyboard right in front of me, on the desktop, and on that desktop also needs to be at least a compact keyboard (for typing) and a mouse... That's why I need the master controller to not be very deep, so that the keyboard and mouse can go in front of it, without getting too far back so that I cannot reach the keys well.
I'm actualy considering getting a Blofeld Keyboard again... It has the least amount of keys I need, it has a good reputation of being a good Fatar TP-9S keybed that is light, it has aftertouch too, and the normal pitch and mod wheel... best of all, the size is very small, and it even has space on the right side for my compact keyboard.
The only thing that has made me hesitate is because it's a 100% digital synth, and I hate having stuff that I do not use... but with some extra thinking, it does have quite a few things I lack in my studio, and that I don't know if will ever be made with analog filters/VCa etc... and that is Wavetable synthesis and Samples that can be stored on an internal flash... it is basicaly what I've been waiting for DSI to do for some time, just in the digital domain entirely, so I'll get one of those, and call it the day.
