Best 61 key controller replacement for P6

[chk071]

If you want something more "premium", I'd really not look at the Novation Launchkey controllers. I had the Launchkey 49 mk4, and sent it back, because it just didn't convince me. The keys felt rather light and cheap synth action. The knobs were Ok, but too heavy in resistance to my liking. The pads didn't really feel that well either. The faders were alright though.

That, mixed with the fact that it doesn't have Aftertouch, and still cost me 269 €, led to sending it back for me. I got an Arturia Keylab 49 mk3 instead, which is great, and a real upgrade to my Novation Impulse in every regard, which had several issues over the years, and already got warranty replaced two times for hardware defects.

Better spend a bit more money, if you want something good. Especially these days, when companies charge 100 or 200 € more than they used to 10 years ago, for similar or equal quality.

Nektar gxp has worked well for me and afaik is the only keyboard with aftertouch in its price range. Note that the keybed is on the noisy side so it may not work if you're very picky about keys, but that's probably also the case with the nektar p6 in which case it won't bother you.
