Ya know, I think I'll take back my large, heavy Clavinova and get a Roland keyboard.:bang:

Either the RD-700SX or the Fantom would make a better stage keyboard.

At the music store I tried the P70 and the Casio 88 key and the Casio had a better feel ASAIAC. Not sure if I like the graded keyboard as I will play not only piano VSTi but some VSTi synths.

Now hammer action, that's different again... (and you wont find an unweighted hammer action). To test if it's hammer... (if you can't just tell)... grab a key between your thumb and forefinger on the little ledge on the front and wiggle it up and down quickly, but not all the way up or all the way down... you should feel something ELSE in there, bumping around, getting pushed off by your key motion, and bouncing back an instant later.
I did this at the music store and found the Casio Piano had the little play where as the P70 was completely smooth up and down. I prefer the Casio at this point maily because of the feel is more like piano action. The Casio is also graded which I do not especially like as piano will not be the only VSTi I will play.

Hello all,

I need advice on the CME VX8
http://floridamusicco.com/proddetail~prod~cme%5Fvx8.htm
Looks interesting and slightly above my budget but I can swing it if I get good comments. Someone earlier gave a mixed review on the CME UF8 and this is why I am concerned.

I was hoping it would have velocity scaling but I do not see it on the specs. The specs are little confusing and do not include if there is a template for use with Cubase.
