hi
ive been using computers intesively for few years, and music production has become painful too.

Especially browsing sounds, the repetitive up and down and clicking, next patch, then checking sounds on that patch etc etc.

Akai mpd16, the pads hurt my wrists if i use for long. Not happy with how hard you have to hit those pads.

And my full size semi weighted midi keyboard controller, well i think its time to buy a little softer touch keyboard.

can anyone recommend a soft touch midi keyboard? or anything else that could help me?

something as soft and light at a apple mac qwerty keyboard.

thankyou

Whilst You can't get away from the fact you've probably suffered from RSI using the computer,which would perhaps have a diverse affect on the playing comfort of your Keyboard.

However any piano playing afficianado will tell you that the correct posture for playing both sitting and hand technique shouldn't cause you any discomfort

Having being trained classically and have been playing for over 25 years mostly on Hammer weighted synth keys and real pianos,which takes more force to play,never had so much as an ache even with fast demanding long classical pieces and I play daily for up to 2 -3 hours.

using a softer action keybed may ease the aches but its won't take away the fact that your hands should play in a relaxed state especially using a light synth action keybed and suffering from RSI says it all about your playing technique that maybe a softer touch keybed might be a short term solution but won't dissapate your aches,maybe something like a Korg Nanokey may help!

Please don't duplicate post as it makes it hard for members to follow.

I am locking this as the same threead exists in MRT.
