Ideas re MIDI controller to replace existing PSR keyboard?

[david <gnome@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good afternoon!

My present Yamaha PSR keyboard has sounds, but only 61 keys, no support for an _expression_ pedal, and no aftertouch.

I'm thinking about moving entirely to softsynths and replacing it with one of the following:

    Akai Hammer 88 Pro
      Arturia KeyLab 88 MKII USB MIDI Keyboard
      Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S88 MK2 USB MIDI Controller
      SL88 Studio USB MIDI controller

The keyboard would be sitting in my house, not likely to go on the road.

I'm kind of leaning toward the Arturia but have no experience with any of them.

Any ideas on how they work with Linux applications like Aeolus, Rosegarden, Yoshimi, etc?

Thanks.
