The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi !
strange indeed !
IMHO unless you are a grand piano afficionado and you want to play synth 
with the feeling of your favorite Steinway it is not very useful to 
change the AN1x keyboard , other standard MIDI keyboards are 
similar...or worse regarding the keys. Except those with 76 or 88 
weighted keys, "hammer action" and so on, trying to emulate the feeling 
of an acoustic piano.
Technically speaking most of the MIDI keyboards currently available are 
compatible, for the note on - note off and velocity codes at least. If 
you've planned to get a keyboard with a lot of knobs and switches be 
careful that all these extra knobs are user programmable to address the 
AN1x functions (= all the standard AN1x knobs and switches and/or the 
MIDI controllers hidden in the menu).
If you only want more knobs and switches you can find some so called 
MIDI control panels or MIDI control surfaces that are MIDI keyboards ... 
without keys and of course an user programmable one again.
Cheers.
J.F.
