I have decided to go with A Yamaha PRS-E463. Now ordered and should be here in three or four days. New adventure begins.

If not then going with a controller is far less complexity than a keyboard with sounds, and modern controllers are festooned with knobs, sliders, switches, and other stuff.

Searching around the Internet and YouTube in particular they do seem to be a lot of keyboards around now with touchscreens. I think I am leaning towards a Yamaha of some sort. So in a couple of weeks I will be braving the new world out there and trotting off to a dealer to have a play.

You'd need to use Reaper as a VST host, and a midi loopback system like LoopMidi <https://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/loopmidi.html> , and you'd probably need to select sounds on the keyboard rather than with QWS. It certainly won't be ideal, and the annoyance of having to juggle software might actually outweigh the convenience of QWS. That's another reason I'm happy I got a hardware keyboard, even if I plan on eventually importing the sounds into Komplete. One other option I've never played with is the external editor function in Reaper, which takes the current item and opens it up in an audio or midi editor. In theory it should be possible to define QWS as your external editor and have Reaper send an individual MIDI item out to QWS. If you use the LoopMidi software linked above, you could have a loopback device that sends the MIDI from QWS back into Reaper, so you could preview your edits in realtime. I haven't done this so I would need to experiment before I could be of any real help, but part of the reason I got a hardware keyboard was so that I could get back into making music with QWS, so I plan on playing with this a lot more soon.

QWS made music making so easy for me. I am not the biggest fan of reaper though now I grudgingly use it. Now I'm not saying it's horrible, only for me. QWS was super awesome!!! So if it ever was able to be set up to work with Komplete... that, would be so cool!!!

If you want to have fun deeply inside the menus on Genos you’re lost.

The genos has a voice guide and that makes it accessible to a certain Degree. Set: The accessibility of the genos is more Basic than I thought at first. You can select styles and sounds, make simple Recordings and you can select Presets of the voice harmonizer and Vocoder from what I know. And it is not such a big Problem, since you can navigate the touch screen with the voice guide. In Addition, the genos has even knobs for transpose, tempo fills Intros and endings and some keys for accessing some functions, like the accompagnement and such. So, it is simply not true that the genos is inaccessible. That are the Things what I use the voice guide for and yes, it has it’s limitations, but Keep in mind that yamaha has the only one solution for us to navigate the screen and and use the genos to a certain Point, other companys have Nothing. I was a Little bit disapointed, since yamaha could have made more out of this Concept, but I use the Basics and because of the touch screen the voice guide is better than Nothing, since you even know where you are at the Moment.

Dňa 27. 5. 2021 o 18:18 Seth Lowman napísal(a): Nicolas, how accessible is the Genos? I have been considering one for a long time, but the accessibility issue and the prices have been my biggest hurdles. I have used Nord keyboards in a live setting for years. The college I went to had a Nord Stage 2EX, and I found it to be not very menu driven at all. In fact, just about every tweak you’ll ever want to make to your sound is right on the front panel at the touch of a knob or a button, with maybe a few exceptions like transpose. I especially loved it’s electric pianos and organs, as well as some of the synthesizer patches. The pianos were very nice as well, and with a little EQ, you can make them fit your playing situation. However, I’ve never used them in the studio, or hooked up midi cables to them, so I’m not really sure how well they work with a DAW or with QWS. They have the options of standard din ports and midi over USB, so they seem fairly flexible as far as that goes. God bless!

Wonder of any qws user on this list is playing nord keyboards / pianos? Love my nord elektro 3 but it is kind of difficult to operate when you are blind. For example: you need to use a menu function to transpose. However I love the sound of the keyboard and the weight of the nice wata keys. Anyone else in to nord produkts? Vincent.
