Korg Keystage 61

I am not entirely sure who this is for. The keybed is weird and very very light. I get it somehow as it stops you from accidentally triggering the poly aftertouch, but then robs you of a lot of velocity expression which may or may not be for you. It’s not a bad keyboard, but not for me. Honestly the encoders are not encoders even when they look like it on the pictures and i wish they were encoders as they are a ton less useful like this.

This keybed is miles ahead of my keylab essential and competes nicely with my DX7IID. Except it has polyphonic aftertouch which I’m really enjoying. It’s easy to access the settings to change between poly aftertouch and MPE which is really helpful. And I’m really enjoying the built in audio interface and only needing one cable coming from my iPad/computer.
