I have one of these, and it does have a unique action. My fav of the super-plastics I've tried, with outstanding aftertouch. It cannot do raw sysex, however, like the Rolands.

Does anyone make a "controller desk" that turns any keyboard into a controller ala midi mapper on steroids?

I've never found a standalone controller that beats the feel and capability of the KX88, so why not make the feel and capability independent?

I guess a DAW or piece of Apple SW can do this but why not a nicely designed standalone HW module?

There used to be decent rack mount solutions. You could do worse than finding an old Digital Music MX-8. It will handle routing better than remapping gobs of CC#s though.

From what i've heard, "Keyscape" and "old computer" don't exactly go well together. Good luck!

 

It's a 2015 iMac with multicore i7 and 32GB RAM so it should work, if not I have a newer computer.

 

I use a 2011 iMac with i5 and 16GB RAM + Lacie (the orange one) 256 SSD and Keyscape + Trillian running perfectly.

The Sipario and Sipario X product(s) are aimed at this requirement. USB Host support as well, which is cool... https://www.lab4music.it/
