budget fully weighted key controller

[smooveface]

Looking for a budget fully weighted controller to act as midi controller specifically for piano sounds. Do need anything fancy, just something with real piano feel.

 

Any suggestions?

I think the cheapest thing is the Studio Logic Fatar. I bought one once, but I returned it after about a week. Rather than get another weighted MIDI controller, I settled on a simple digital piano with an action that I really liked (Roland RD100).

 

Korg also has a line of 88 weighted key stage pianos that aren't too hard on the wallet.

My Fatar SL-990 is 3 years old. Cost me $500.Now you can find one for about $400.Mine works great. I use it with a Midi-solution velocity converter to give me the best velocity curve for my eastwest steinway B and Bosendorfer pianos on gigasampler LE. The whole setup minus the computer cost me about $750.soundwise,it beats anything my local music stores have .

Used Alesis QS8? I really like the feel of mine.
