If I want to judge music I am producing or mixing, and search for errors, I listen to my monitors. If I want to enjoy a great recording I listen to my hi-fi speakers. But it is better to use the speaker for what it is built. How big this difference is, is discussed in countless threads on the internet. There is a difference between monitors (powered or not), and hi-fi speakers. Turn the sound on the keyboard off, and turn your amp on, that should do the trick normally. You can connect your keyboard's line out to an amplifiers line in (could also be called cd, aux, etc.). Is this what you're referring to? I apologize Daren, for stepping in with this question. I've got an old Pioneer receiver, and a pair of speakers. Not to hijack the thread, but Victor, how do you use an amp, and hifi speakers? How do you run the keyboard thru the amp? I've heard of this, but never really read an explanation of how it's done. I'm using an Emu 1212m with my DP, and studio monitors. I'll admit my suggestion of powered speakers was to make it simpler.īut still stereo amp or monitor speakers bring that familiar CD of solo piano music with you to the store and listen for a long time. The sound of a DP is very much defined by the speaker system so it pays to think about speakers a lot. I'm thinking of using wood (not composite or MDF) cabinets that can add a kind of 'sound board effect'. It will take some experiments to design a set of speakers that sound like a piano and not like a piano sound played over speakers. I've gotten into amp and speaker building lately.

Also monitor tend to be 'accurate' while all but the better stereo equipment these days tends to be tuned for exaggerated bass that goes 'thump, thump'.ĭo you get better sound per dollar with small stereo speakers.Īctually my plan for my own use is a set of speakers and tube amps with each driver powered by it's own small tube based amp. I was trying to suggest a simple setup that used fewer cables. I'm curious about the powered monitor vs. All for only another $199 (the price of Logic Express) But yes Synthogy will work all by itself. I was trying only to point out that once you add a computer all kind of options become available, like recording and producing music, doing multi-track recording and so on. You are right about not needing any other software. see here for some of what you can do with it. I use 'Logic' and Synthogy can work well with Logic. If recording is a goal then a computer is almost a requirement, non-optional. Which is best depends on the goal, is it playing just for your own enjoyment or do you want to record your work.

But is not as easy as just playing a acoustic piano.

You can upgrade the sound as technology advances forever and you can record and mix and cut CDs and so on. The computer setup is more complex than just buying a DP but you gain flexibility. You have to do the audition with music you know well. Bring a CD recording of a solo piano concert to the store and listen to your CD. Powered monotor speakers will cost anything you want to spend.

Likey cost for the box is $150, give or take $50.

Some USB audio interface contain the midi interface all in one box. The computer send the audio to that interface and then you need a pair of good powered monitor speakers or headphones.

Then the computer and software renders the sound and you will need a decent USB audio interface. Next you need a Midi to USB cable or interface for about $50 so that you keyboard and pedal data can get into the computer.

If you are buying one just for this the Macbook Pro would be ideal but even a cheap Windows PC could work.
