  • my past keyboard just died a couple weeks ago and i'm looking for a replacement now.

    only 2 questions:

    1. just to be clear , to play though amps or external speakers of some sort you have to go (keyboard ----> comp. ----> amp)? there is no other option?

    and 2. what are the "Advanced Functions"?

  • @MrForreststarr Thanks for your questions! 1. You can go keyboard --> comp ---> amp if you want, but you can also go keyboard ----> sound module ---> amp.

    2. The "Advanced Functions" are volume control and octave change buttons. 

  • "She can't stop pacing

    She never felt so alive

    Her thoughts are racing

    Set on overdrive..."

  • What kind of piano software are you using?

    Do you know any free software?

  • @songa50 I personally use Logic Pro. I do not know of any free software at the moment, but if you buy certain interfaces or keyboards, they come with extra basic software that works pretty well.

  • U just have a Question it needs to be pluged to the pc to work or what?

  • @MrForreststarr Yes, it is.

  • @RebelMusicGear

    sorry but one more question:

    do you know if it is compatible with OSx lion? (10.7.2)

  • @princeicio Sorry for the long wait, I was having some slight difficulties getting on. But anyway, it is a midi controller for sure, and has no included software (as far as I am aware, they may have changed it). As far as speakers are concerned, if you use midi into a computer, the computer speakers are its output. Now whether you direct it to headphones or an amp from there, it doesn't matter. However, you can use this with a separate sound module, but then you will need to use its output.
