It's real mechanic inside, I once opened it. The touch is a bit harder than a quality piano though, but the price was quite low. I'm used to it by now. M-Audio replaced the Prokeys 88 by the Hammer 88. It could be worthwhile to read reviews about the Hammer 88 since it might very well be the cheapest brand new real touch USB MIDI controller out there. If price is a concern. On the portability side, the Prokeys 88 does weigh 22kg. One would not walk long distances with it, so to speak. The weight of the Hammer 88 is a bit less at 17.5 kg. Here's the Sound on Sound review for the Prokeys 88. They describe it as an incredible value for the money: https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/m-audio-prokeys-88 They have a review of the Hammer 88 but you have to pay for it. In the USA the Hammer 88 sells for $399 on Amazon. Here's the M-Audio Hammer 88 pitch on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__jcDD_V_Dw Cheers. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
