Hi,
I want to buy a elektr. piano or an keyboard if the first it to
expensive. I have the following needs:
- piano like, sound and touch.
- I want to be able to connect it to my computer (maudio audiophile,
maudio dmp3 preamp)
- I want to be able to work with MIDI
- I want to use it on Linux
- not to expensive... but I like quality too..
Price class: 150- 350 euro? But I like information about the different
piano's/ keyboards in the different price class...
Thanks in advance.

Hi Dirk!
Yamaha is always a good choice. I think they're all called CP-something. But
I think they are more expensive. For your price, I'd suggest a simple master
keyboard. Fatar has nice ones, but a little more expensive, for the rest, have
a look around. For piano sounds, try the big soundfont pianos, there were a
few posts lately or try one gigasample library from post musical
instruments/sampletekk. The PMI pianos all cost $50.00 and sound very
atractive. Take a look at
www.linuxsampler.org
In the demo section or for example, mylast posted piece.
Considering your name, you're from Germany. Take a look at:
www.thomann.de
and
www.musik-produktiv.de
A very nice catalogue, cheap prices, because they sell that much and the
Musik Produktiv crowd is rather helpful, if you need them.
Kindest regards
Julien

Problem with most cheap MIDI keyboards is that they don't have the
"piano key" feel. They have thin, lightweight plastic keys, lacking the
weight of a real piano keyboard. The keyboards that have real
piano-style keys are not cheap.
