Is there a reason why the Korg Keystage line-up doesn't have an 88 key version with weighted keybeds
With the increasing number of people moving to software based creation and performance I think Korg is potentially missing out on a portion of people who are pianists and synth hybrid players but either doesn't have the money (like me) for a full blown Kronos or Nautilus 88 or just doesn't want a workstation.
I'm new to this sub but I've been doing music creation using software for a while now. I came from a classically trained piano background and in recent years have been experimenting with synths a lot more. That said tho I'm really sensitive on the keybed feels and so far across the major brands I've found the RH3 to be the best feeling of the bunch without having to spend big bucks to buy one (the Korg D1 only costs 1000 AUD which is really cheap for a keyboard with such great keybed).
I think the idea of taking RH3 action into a Keystage controller with all the knobs and either pitch/mod wheel OR the joystick controls will pretty much be the perfect keyboard I need so I'm really curious as to why they put out a 49 and 61 key version but not a full 88 key with weighted beds. Or even just adding a joystick or pitch/mod wheels to a Korg D1 would be really nice.
Is it because this is such a niche collection and preference that Korg thinks it's probably not worth the hassle to cater for these people?
