for context, I got back into keyboard by borrowing a friend's keyboard for 1.5y, which was pretty similar to this one but 88 keys and fewer knobs (Yamaha; thought I'd written down the model but apparently not) this might be roughly what I want?pic.twitter.com/M6z8mOO0kA

I value speakers because I'd like to be able to take it places & jam, or improvise on it while working at my desk, without having to have it set up to a whole DAW just to make sounds MIDI *keyboard*, not MIDI *controller* (maybe nobody says "MIDI kb" bc all electric kbs MIDI?)

so yeah,
@midijeffg, I guess built-in sound card is actually more important—could have external speaker I don't have a good model of what's going on here, but I want the thing to work as a ~standalone device in addition to being an input device for Bitwighttps://twitter.com/midijeffg/status/1448747438563487748 …Malcolm Ocean is in Victoria, BC added,

the idea of having extra knobs & sliders to control bitwig sounds pretty dope—dunno what I'd do with those yet but it has lots of cool plugins to controlhttps://twitter.com/midijeffg/status/1448747438563487748 …

I don't know if I care about weighted keys—I think it's not a major factor, but ceteris paribus I'd prefer themhttps://twitter.com/Human__Age/status/1448756037784256519 …

saw a used listing for a ROLI seaboard and got really excited about that; is totally my vibe in terms of how expressive I want my instrument to be seems pretty different on a lot of the other axes thopic.twitter.com/fYhaIemmn4

i have this and it’s amazing but complementary to a reg keyboard. if you get it, try the SWAM acoustic modeling software instruments, sold separately
