ooofah, i don't experience that with the Hammer 88 Pro - AT is very nice.I mean it writes aftertouch info, when I am not using aftertouch...simply because of the pressure.

I guess with a synth type it’s more sensitive. Especially when I play a bit harder for short string dynamics.ooofah, i don't experience that with the Hammer 88 Pro - AT is very nice.
Bought another MIDI cable from Amazon. Plugged it in, and I have been in heaven for the last 10 minutes. This combined with Pianoteq feels incredible.Damn. Get the Roland. Lol.
I’m glad. Have fun.Bought another MIDI cable from Amazon. Plugged it in, and I have been in heaven for the last 10 minutes. This combined with Pianoteq feels incredible.
(Have never had a weighted MIDI keyboard before).
Thank you for all your help. I'm off to butcher some very simple Grade 1 piano pieces!
And since the H88 is a pretty basic board in that it doesn't have very much you can edit/tweak on it, you should be fine never needing to connect to it over USB.Bought another MIDI cable from Amazon.

Right, exactly! I bought it so that I can practise piano while I'm taking short breaks from work. It'll just be there next to me, connected to pianoteq. When a particularly boring zoom call happens at work, I can listen in and play at the same time!And since the H88 is a pretty basic board in that it doesn't have very much you can edit/tweak on it, you should be fine never needing to connect to it over USB.
ENJOY!
I use a heavy duty Z stand. Trust me, it’s worth the extra to get it. It’s rock solid, doesn’t move and adjustable width. Get it from Amazon. Amazon product ASIN B07574VQPQWhile we're here, what do you all put your controllers on?
I can't have it on a desk. Will need some kind of (cheap but durable) stand.
Any recommendations?
Thanks!
Perfect, this will do nicely. Thank you!I use a heavy duty Z stand. Trust me, it’s worth the extra to get it. It’s rock solid, doesn’t move and adjustable width. Get it from Amazon. Amazon product ASIN B07574VQPQ
I am about to order a Hammer 88 PRO, and I am going to put it on the keyboard shelf of this custom design workstation from mgeardesign.caWhile we're here, what do you all put your controllers on?

That looks beautiful! Currently saving up for pacific strings and a new computer so the budget would have to go that way.I am about to order a Hammer 88 PRO, and I am going to put it on the keyboard shelf of this custom design workstation from mgeardesign.ca
Jamie at mgeardesign.ca does have a number of workstation designs that will work, and you can have him tweak designs if you like. You get favorable conversion rates from US dollars to Canadian, so that helps because shipping is pricey
There is a 6-8 week lead time for custom work. Not sure about his designs in terms of time until shipping. You pay half up front, and half when the thing is ready to ship.
He will probably assemble it, send you pics, then break it down, flat pack it in boxes, send you pdf instructions *basically all the 1 sticker piece go together, 2 stickers together, etc).
You need a Robertson #2 Screwdriver and a very short Roberton #2 (or some kind of short ratchet with a square number 2 bit) to put the wood pieces together. Kind of an IKEA moment there.
I pad 1200 for this custom design, but shipping via UPS was 400 bucks.
If you need the unit/shelf to be wider or something, they will do that. I made my unit deeper, and had monitor stands replaced with a monitor bridge with 3, 3U racks instead. The unit is deeper to allow for a rail-mounted server chasis with server rails running from front to back rack rails. I also requested square hole rack rails so I could put cage nuts in (don't like the idea of rack rails getting threads stripped). My custom unit took about 6 weeks.
For my part I don't have this modelAnybody who gets this keyboard, don't leave it on. One night, the screen saver failed to activate and now I have the words MOD WHEEL permanently burnt in to the display. Power this thing off when it is not being used. I wish there was a warning about that - I had no idea this type of display could even burn in.
Damn! Sorry to hear that mate. I have the older model with no screen. Annoyingly I have to switch it off at the wall or pull the wire out because mine doesn't have an on-off button on the keyboard.Anybody who gets this keyboard, don't leave it on.
