88 Note Weighted Keyboard

Hi Everyone,
I'm upgrading to Logic Pro 8, mainly for the Mainstage program and sounds. I need to get rid of my cumbersome Yamaha Motif 8 (toooo big and heavy) and looking for a good 72 to 88-note midi controller with plenty of dials and sliders for real-time control. The catch is I want decent hammer action on the keys. M-Audio stuff is a bit too plastic for my liking. Does anyone have a recommendation on this front? I know I could always split up the keyboard from a controller module, but was hoping to simplify and have it all in one unit.
Thanks!
Dave

Motif is a great controller, don't know why you'd want to downgrade - but hey!
Kurzweil PC2/PC3 - great controllers
Fatar/Studiologic - VMK 188 plus (exactly what you're looking for, and their action is used in a lot of keyboards - great weighted action). I've had a Studiologic for ages, all made of metal, and great piano/weighted action.
That's all that comes to mind here, roland probably has some but I never really liked their products (personal opinion - holds no real water).
Yamaha S-series are great too.

  • Main Item not Weight/Vol relevant but adds to the total weight of the order

    Hi,
    I have a situation where the Main item (item category) is marked not weight/Volume relevant but the Sub item is weight/Volume relevant. But when I create a sales order the net weight of sales order includes the weight of the Main item as well.
    Any settings for this?
    regards
    Heshamity

    Hi Heshamity,
    I tested in our system, if the item category is marked as not relevant for weight and volume, it will not be calculated on the net weight of the sales order. In addition, the weight is also 0 at item level.
    Could the issue be reproduced in your system?
    Do you get weight being determined at item level?
    If yes, you could enter debugging mode and set watchpoint at VBAP-BRGEW to trace why it gets filled.
    In SAPFV45P     FORM     VBAP_GEWICHT_VOLUMEN_ERMITTELN
    there exists statment to check the VOV7 setting before moving the weight to XVBAP-BRGEW like
    IF tvap-gwrel = charx.
       CALL FUNCTION 'SD_WEIGHT_VOLUME_DETERMINE'
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks and best regards,
    Smile

  • Not finding keyboard

    I can't sign in because the iMac does not recognize my keyboard, track pad or magic mouse. It will recognize a logic tech mouse. I have lion installed. What should I do? It did recognize them all before, then started droping the mouse. I think I might have turned Bluetooth off. It found them when I entered disk repair. Now can't do that.

    That's correct. As a matter of fact I used the wireless mouse to navigate to this page and I'm using it now.. I am currently using a wired apple keyboard to discuss this problem. Could there be a conflict between the wireless and wired? I've tried disconnecting the  wired keyboard but it doesn't seem to activate the wireless.The other possibility is maybe bluetooth isn't setup on the windows side of Bootcamp. Could that be the reason? When I go to the control panal of windows it shows the mouse connected but not the keyboard. It then searches for any other bluetooth devise but can't find any.

  • Why won't Apple do not manufacture keyboard with combined trackpad?

    So why won't Apple do not manufacture keyboard with combined trackpad?
    Same size like numeric keyboard, but without numeric buttons and model with wire or wireless, i'm just curious why they haven't manufactured this kind of product yet.
    I have iMac Early 2008 (Upgraded with 128 GB ssd) and Macbook air 2014, sometimes i feel odd carrying separately keyboard and mouse if i want to plug my macbook with IPS display, so it would be lot help if they were combined.

    Have a look at this (I've not used it and have no idea whether it's any good):

  • Anyone NOT having Keyboard problems with newer MBP!

    After reading about all the keyboard problems on the newer MBPs, is there anyone NOT having keyboard lockups or dropping letter problems? Looking to purchase a MBP soon but after reading about the many keyboard problems I will probably postpone or decide to get a different machine.

    There might be a couple of things to try. You could borrow an external keyboard to use for a while--or even buy a cheap one used, and see if you still have problems or not. If you don't, there's likely a problem with the MBP keyboard itself.
    Also, if you have access to an Apple Store, you might be able to make an appointment with the genius bar and get a definite diagnosis. It may be possible to arrange to get in a replacement keyboard at the Apple Store and have them fix it while you wait. Don't know for sure if that would be possible, but it's worth asking. Same with an Apple authorized repair shop--it might be possible to get it fixed without having to send it off.
    Good luck!

  • I have a new iMac, running Mountain Lion, with CS6. I have the tablet with the keyboard. I'm finding that in CS6 I have to type command-C and command-V repeatedly to copy or paste anything. It is not the keyboard; I've switched that out. What is it?

    I have a new iMac, running Mountain Lion, with CS6. I have the tablet with the keyboard. I'm finding that in CS6 I have to type command-C and command-V repeatedly to copy or paste anything. It is not the keyboard; I've switched that out. Is it some kind of tablet interference?

    Yes, EEK!
    Have you run Microsoft Update and installed the latest 14.2.4 Office update yet?
    Humor me. When you perform copy, do you then establish keyboard focus by clicking the mouse pointer on the destination screen for the paste action -- before keying the paste?
    Have you installed any third-party keystroke mapping software that may be getting between the operating system and these two applications?
    Under System Preferences > Accessibility > Keyboard, have you enabled Sticky, Slow, or EEK! Keys?

  • 975X Platinum Power-Up Edition v2.1 boot sequence not detecting keyboard

    I don't know if anyone else has experienced this problem before.  I've owned the 975X Platinum Power-up edition motherboard version 2.1 for just a little over three years.  I have installed Windows 7 on the system in December 2009.  On resuming from sleep mode tonight it locked up necessitating a reboot - on reboot the it detects the processor, memory and hard drives and then displays "keyboard error or not found" and stops waiting for a F1 or Delete key press.
    I've tried the Logitech USB keyboard on another system, so it's not the keyboard.  The diagnostic bracket displays red on LED 1, green on 2/3, and 4 is not lit.  What does this mean?  Does anyone have any ideas on what to try?  The USB ports have power as I have other USB peripherals that have power, could it be that the keyboard controller has blown?
    The motherboard has worked well for three years until tonight and I would rather not spend a lot of money repairing the board or buying new components for a new system.

    do >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power removed,
    also disconnect and re-connect the keyboard

  • NOT disabling keyboard/trackpad on tablet fold...

    This is probably the opposite of user problems regarding the keyboard/trackpad and turning the Yoga Pro 2 in tablet mode... Here's the situation:
    I'm a Java programmer and I'm sharing my files with my home PC, so I can work from my laptop or desktop easily without transferring files back and forth.
    It's no fun adjusting my typing to multiple different keyboards for different PCs, and overall I tend to prefer a trackpad over a mouse for what I do which makes using my lenovo yoga keyboard ideal for everything (majority of wireless keyboards also aren't backlit).
    I'm using the program Mouse without Borders (from the Microsoft website) so that I can use my lenovo yoga keyboard/trackpad on my desktop.
    What I want to do: keep my keyboard and trackpad enabled when putting the yoga into tablet mode. I've already figured out how to disable the touchscreen for such uses, but the only way I know to keep the keyboard and trackpad active is to uninstall the synaptics driver/software. Obviously that isn't an ideal solution to have to install and uninstall it every time I switch between PCs.
    Is there any way to stop synaptics from disabling the keyboard and trackpad when in tablet mode? Preferrably something such as disabling something in device manager, not uninstalling and reinstalling software depending my use for the moment.

    Please provide more information.
    First, I have no idea what "Jimi to Jimi" means. This is probably just something you need to explain to me; a Google search didn't turn up anything useful.
    You said that the keyboard and trackpad aren't working right. What does this mean, exactly? Regardless, the monitor you use should have no effect on the function of your other peripherals.

  • Keyboard and trackpad are not working, Keyboard and trackpad are not working

    I'm using MBP 15" late 2008 with Maverick OS. A couple of days ago, the internal keyboard and trackpad are not working at all. I did all the troubleshooting. I even reformat it; installing the snow leopard and re-installing the maverick but no good result. I believe there's no problem with my keyboard because i can still do PRAM on my lappy. Everytime i'm booting up my MBP, it always looking for bluetooth trackpad and keyboard. I have not used those bluetooth peripherals from day 1 i've started using MBP. I just read on the internet about the same problem has happened on MBP 13" retina and APPLE fixed it by updating the software. I wish Apple will also do something for the old MBP to fix the intermal keyboard and trackpad problem.

  • Terminal window blinking cursor will not accept keyboard entry

    Have SunBlade100 w/ Solaris8.
    This is probably a dumb beginner question...
    When I enter certain commands at the terminal window - in this particular case
    # cat /dev/cua/a
    and I hit <return> the cursor skips to the next line, and
    continues blinking , and will not accept any keyboard entries.
    1. What is the significance of this? Is the cursor waiting further action, and if so, what?
    2. How do I get back to the prompt?
    3. Under this condition, is it safe to exit the terminal window by closing from the Window menu? (I can't type "exit" because the cursor won't accept keyboard entries, and Help for "closing the terminal" warns against closing from the Window menu because any background processes will not be terminated (and this may cause problems).
    Thanks in advance for any info on this.

    Thanks again for the info. <control>+C was exactly what I was looking for. It's coming back to me now-- the last time I had contact w/ UNIX was back in '85 at UC Berkeley (no GUI's back then!).

  • In iCal after adding a note the keyboard doesn't collapse

    Is this happening to anybody else? Just started today, I have to click the home button and reopen calendar  to remove the keyboard. It normally disappears after I click "done" on the note. This began happening after I entered many daily events today. It's like I overloaded it. Anybody familiar with this and how get it back to normal working order?

    Yes, when it occurs this helps. But the problem occurs continuesly. I think it is a real bug in iCal.

  • Boot camp not recognize keyboard and mouse when installing windows 7 pro 64 bit

    Hi,
    I have some issue when installing windows 7 pro 64 bit using boot camp. after done partitioning the windows drive and when boot to windows installation process, i've got stuck in the first screen when choosing the language. it seems that the keyboard and mouse are not detected.
    i'm using boot camp ver. 5.0.
    does anyone have similar problem with me?

    I have finally successfully installed Windows 7 x64 on MacBook Air 13.3" (2013) thru Bootcamp.
    Problem:  After Windows 7 install thru BootCamp, I got to the first login screen and not input devices (Mouse, keyboard, USB) worked.   I tried to boot into Windows Safemode, but I received the error  "Windows can not complete installation in Safe Mode".
    Cause:  WIndows 7 does not have native USB 3.0 drivers, included on the install images.
    Resolution:  I downloaded the latest device drivers with thru BootCamp and copied them to the USB Flash Drive that had my bootable Windows 7 x64 install on it.  The second option in BootCamp is "Download Support Media".  This does more than just download drivers.  It creates a file called "autoattended.xml".  This is key as it tells Windows during the install process to use the device drivers that you download.  Otherwise, you need to do it manually, which you can't because you have no mouse or keyboard.
    NOTE:  I had no need of a super drive because I had all the files on one USB flash drive.  Therefore, I don't think it matter which side of the MBA the USB drive was plugged in, as other solutions suggested.
