Hey, so I'm going to be moving across the pond (to EU) and won't be taking my beloved Yamaha S90ES with me. Will be looking for a great 88-key MIDI controller to buy. Obviously, the S90 had onboard sounds, which made it fun to just play when I'm not on my computer, but that is not essential; I'd be happy with a straight-up controller. Main thing I'm looking for is great piano action with subtle velocity gradations.
My other controller here is an M-Audio Oxygen 49, which I am NOT happy with -- the velocity sensitivity is pretty poor - Super easy to max out velocity to 127, and difficult to get smooth velocity gradations in the 80-127 range.
Any suggestions? I looked briefly at M-AUDIO Hammer 88 Pro, but love to hear your thoughts, especially if you know the glory of the S90.
Thanks!
