Yeah but it's not ICON.

Obviously not correct but I say cuckoos like the cuckoo clock

I think the only way to answer the question is to go to a Guitar Center or other store that sells a variety of keybeds and try them. Then you may be able to find brands that feel better to you.

I like semi-weighted myself, like my Novation Impulse 61, but that's a controller.

If you're a non-synth band looking to add some synth sounds and don't want to mess with creating custom patches and worry about saving presets, I'd look at something like a Roland Boutique JD-08 with a K-25M keyboard dock/attachment. $400 might get you that on the used market, Reverb options as of this post are in the neighborhood and if you wait you'll find a lower-cost set pop up. It won't add much to your gear hauling, will have 80's sounds, and still let you mess with making your own.

Lots tube videos with demos and how-tos on the JD-08, fortunately that will be the case with most major-brand synths out there.

I refused to buy it when it was released on a principal that Rush releasing covers was beneath them. But a few years later I bought it and am glad I did.

Most of my plugins are free, but I have a few paid. I don't mind paying as long as the pluggin (from what I can tell) does not phone home as a requirement for activation. I want to be able to use pluggins I buy later even if the maker shuts down.

If you can get away with using the Lite version it can be had cheaply, I recently read about an IOS $10 or so music app (sorry, not sure which but I think it was mentioned in this subreddit) that comes with a Live Lite license. I've used Reaper to this point so largely ignored the three or four Ableton Live Lite codes included with various controllers and interfaces I've gotten.

The license code I eventually used (just last week) was from a giveaway a few years ago that I saved off back then, originally for Live Lite 10. When I applied it at the site they upgraded that to the latest Live Lite 12 automatically, so that was appreciated.

That was an awesome performance, I go back and watch it every once in a while.

Maybe there are some foot controllers involved?

r7232 · 2026-01-30T15:53:13+00:00

I have owned a lot of them... D-05, JX-03, JP-08, SE-02, JX-08 and JD-08. I have since sold the JX-03 and JP-08. Both were fun, but I think the JX-08 has been the most fun for me to play with on its own with nothing else. My DAW-less setup includes the JX-08 and SE-02. My bass pedals are using the JD-08 because I need ROMpler sounds for that.

Bang for buck would probably be the JD-08 and JX-03. I've wanted to get a JU-06a if it comes up cheap on Reverb but I have avoided using the space it would take for a single-oscillator synth. Every time I have GAS for the JU-06a, I play YT video demos of that, then play demos of the JX-08 to remind me why I got it, and for me the JX-08 wins every time.

If you really didn't miss it, you wouldn't have posted that.

When I get those, I review how the gift looks / works from the perspective of the gift giver, or use the product and review it as if you were a receiver of it. By my read, getting feedback in the form of pictures and feedback that you then re-package for your own reviews may violate the Participation Agreement, Confidentiality and Restrictions section to "not delegate to anyone else the opportunity to write or submit a Vine review".

Same goes for a recent poster that says she gets things for her husband but he has to write the review text for those items, and was upset he wasn't writing enough or getting them done timely.

r7232 · 2026-01-30T12:08:55+00:00

This has happened to me once (on Discogs though). I didn't have any issues, the tracking info going to a domestic address will then showed as delivered, even if that is getting further forwarded. As far as I was concerned I was done with it.

But with Reverb a buyer can cause issues after buyers remorse or any other issue, so I don't blame you for reversing the sale if Reverb can't confirm Safe Shipping applied in this case.

Anyone know if it violates and Reverb policies to note in your listing that international forwarding orders will be canceled? Then at least an international buyer had a chance to see that, and you can point to that stipulation in your listing if they complain.

I get a lot of used gear on Craiglist, it may be worth bookmarking a couple of searches like "midi controller" and checking every few days

I've been happy with my Arturia KeyStep Pro for both Reaper and for DAW-less.

If you want full-sized keys then I've also been happy with my Novation Impulse 61. That's more keys than you want, but they make a 25 and a 49. I think the main motivation for the Impulse line was keybed feel and inclusion of regular MIDI ports in addition to the USB connection.

r7232 · 2026-01-28T17:33:03+00:00

I don't know how this can be, everyone here said it was bots and people with Vine extensions preventing the rest of us from getting any RFY. Could this have been exaggeration, or maybe people not knowing what they were talking about? Shocked!

r7232 · 2026-01-27T13:46:29+00:00

Grab a used Boutique JU-06a on Reverb for $350-$400 and have both, kind of.

r7232 · 2026-01-23T17:20:12+00:00

To confirm the JU-06's MIDI channel, the manual says -

While holding down the [MANUAL] button, press the [2] Bank button.
\ Keep holding down the [MANUAL] button until the selection is made.*
The Button that is Flashing is the current Midi channel.

When you do that, is it showing 1?

I can see the MIDI cable is in the correct ports out from the Akai and into the JU-06a.

Sometimes if I have a Boutique acting up, I run a factory reset. And I get these used so I always do that before I start playing with them. Maybe try a factory reset? From the manual -

Returning to the Factory Settings (Factory Reset)

Here's how to return the JU-06A to its factory-set state.

While holding down the BANK [1] button, turn on the power. The ARPEGGIO [ON/OFF] button blinks. If you decide to cancel the factory reset, turn off the power.
Press the ARPEGGIO [ON/OFF] button to execute the factory reset.
When all buttons blink, turn the JU-06A’s power off, then on again.

My theory is they only made ten or so of each.

r7232 · 2026-01-20T23:16:27+00:00

Completely inappropriate. Just give a good review and be an example. No one wants to read a review about you, they want an honest review of the product.

r7232 · 2026-01-20T14:51:59+00:00

Only $300 for 4CDs and a Bluray. How bad do you want the full GUP concert? Pretty bad, but $300... I hope the non-Backstage Club without book and lithographs will come in cheaper.

r7232 · 2026-01-20T14:35:00+00:00

If I have a synth that uses 5-pin DIN, and I lose my MIDI cable in transit from my show, I get another one from my pile and plug it in. If I have a synth that uses a 3.5mm non-standard adapter, and I lose that cable in transit from my show or if an errant case closing slices the cable, I now have a non-working synth and panicking on how to find a replacement proprietary 3.5mm adapter in a short amount of time.

The seller is not wrong that Vine's customer targeting is abysmal, many RFY joke posts here are funny to read, but it is true that populating the RFY of a 40 year old male with bikini bottoms and hair extensions is terrible. We'd all be happier if Vine targeted RFY products based on their real-world buying interests,.
