Hi All

I was looking for master keyboard for my m50 61.
I have found Oberheim MC 2000 for about £200 used but in good condition.
Does anyone have experience with this model please?
Will that give me that fantastic piano feel? Im after some nice weighted 88 keyboard. I appreciate any help because i have to make my mind quickly.

Thank you very very much for your suggestions.
Wink

Im just about to buy one of these two:

M audio keystation 88 pro OR Oberheim mc 2000

Will they have better keyboard than M50-61 ?

If so which one of them is more suitable for playing piano ?
Please note that im total beginner so i dont need perfect piano experience (im sure none of these is perfect just want to know which is better)

Thank you very much

Seems like the m50-88 would have been a better choice. It uses a different keybed, much more like a piano ..

Possibly a Yamaha KX8 controller, or a Yamaha P85 Piano?? I use a P85 with my M50 and it works fine. No Line out, so you need to Y-adapter the Stereo headphone out for mono. But it sounds good, runs around $600US, has a great feel IMHO, and is only 25lbs. JP.
