Integra keyboard version

[anotherscott]

I'd rather use the mighty A800-PRO, which has 9 POT Knobs, 9 Slides, 8 Dynamic PADs and 13 Configurable Buttons and besides that has 2 MIDI Channels and aftertouch.

The RD-64 has no Aftertouch and only one MIDI channel

And if you want a weighted action, check out the Casio PX-5S. Same price as the RD-64, 88 keys, weighs less, great feel (based on having played the PX-350), tons of sounds, and what appears to be a very flexible 4-zone MIDI controller with knobs and sliders.

Thanks Anotherscott,
Couldn't find the PX-55... Seems to be a descontinued product. Need to check on YouTube.

Regarding the PX-350 it seems to have only two Zones.
Four zones would be super !!!

The PX-5S has 256 notes of polyphony, four programmable arpeggiators and multitrack phrase sequencing. Those are some serious specs for a digital piano! On paper that is even better than the Jupiter-80. Any new synths or workstations in the making need to up their antes!

I'd think about where it's made and what it's made out of before making comparisons.

As someone who has no use for an arpeggiator or a sequencer, I wouldn't say that. ;-) But really, it's about the sounds. Musical instruments aren't well compared with spec sheets. You know, a MiniMoog only has one-note polyphony, but it sounds great! If you're into, say, Roland's SuperNatural acoustic instrument sounds, I would doubt the PX-5S will be much competition there. But I bet a PX-5S would make an excellent controller for an Integra-7!
