I created a list of 10 features i would love to see in my perfect keyboard..
- 8 preferably 9 sliders, with lights
- 8 encoders, limitless free programmable with lights
- 16 (drum)pads, programmable with several colors of lights
- 88 keys light piano action with escapement,
- aftertouch, modulation wheels/stick, and other realtime controlls
- build in high quallity sound engine(s)
- high end arpagiator/karma
- arranger styles and multipads and build in sequencer
- support for DAW comtrol and VST integration like VIP or NKS
- Audio over USB in and out
In this topic i am going to see how close Many of todays 88 key-keyboards come
Starting with the keyboards i own myself...
For every feature the keyboards can earn points on a scale from 0 to 10..
Please feel free to tell me where you disagree...

Great info. They all flunked except for the Montage 8. LOL. I like your concept of a perfect keyboard. I would be willing to shell out for such a keyboard.
