Hi, do you think it's a good idea to buy a Korg K61 to learn to play the piano? In a music shop they advised against it, because of the latency, which according to them can not be overcome.

That piano sounds great BTW.

Hello there;

well i bought this controller to learn (and help me) to understand the concept of melody and chords more then piano playing. Im not sure if this is suitable to learn piano playing since it doesnt have counterweight like a real piano. It depends on your needs.

Latency its not a problem at all; i use it with ASIO4ALL (wich is free) and i have 2ms latency, nothing.

I hope that helps you 8)

This is awesome playing; Korg should be paying you 'cos you're really selling this thing!

How would you rate this controller in terms of expressivity? I mean, like how reliable is it in terms of playing loudly when you play harder and quieter when you play more softly? You make it sound good, but I don't know, you might be like some grandmaster of the Korg K61 or something...

@BaronvonCase

Thank you for your comments. In fact, i play drums (jazz/blues) more then piano/keyboard; drummers are musicians too!! 8)

The controller has synth action keys; it means that the keys doesn't have counter weight, they are light.

For harder playing its ok; but soft playing requires more control; anyways the controller comes with a configuration software and most of vst instruments can be adjusted.

Cheers!

Felicidades se escucha muy bien! Hola, una pregunta.. estoy por comprar este teclado KORG K61P , pero, quiero saber si necesito algun tipo de interface de audio,para evitar la latencia en el software (korg legacy collection) de mi laptop o usando las conecciones USB de ambos (korg k61p y laptop) es suficiente. Actualmente controlo el Korg legacy collection con un pa60 atraves de una interface midi M-audio ,y tengo latencia en la laptop.. gracias

Hola que tal, gracias por el comentario!

Yo creo que con esa interfaz no vas a tener problema, creo que soporta ASIO.

Si la latencia aun persiste, te recomiendo probar ASIO4ALL, yo lo uso y no tengo nada de latencia cuando toco.

Saludos!

Hola, grax! 8)

No tiene aftertouch, es un controlador simple, como para empezar, y por el precio es muy bueno.

El sonido es de un trial de pianoteq.

Saludos!
