At any rate, be careful not to purchase any second hand laptops that have NVIDIA chips for displaying graphics, because these chips have a design flaw that causes premature failure of the graphics chips in the laptops, which is happening on my machine. It works fairly well, though sometimes the sound stutters when changing pages (using a foot controller to change pages), so it might not be best for live performances, but is fine for practicing. There are good websites available for downloading classical music for free, which I use.

I am also using the tablet features of this computer to allow me to display music on the screen and write notes on the music electronically. My current set up is I am using an HP TX-1000 tablet computer to run Pianoteq.

I think latency ought to be set based on what feels right to the pianist and based on the capabilities of the computer. I recommend reviewing those discussions.Īlso, there has been much discussion on having low latency in other threads of this forum. I have not tried this as I have not felt the need, so I don't have personal experience there. I have seen other threads in this forum where people have recommended purchasing an external sound card, which provides better sound quality. I have been using ASIO4ALL in both cases without any issues. I have been using Pianoteq for 4 years or so on two different laptops with just the internal sound board and am happy with the sound quality. I think the on board sound for a laptop is acceptable, though perhaps not as high quality as what is possible. Plus optionally £300 for a laptop to make it work without having the main PC on Possibly £60 for a low latency USB sound card £100 for some better active 2+1 loud speakers Is it worth us trying to get more out of the old Korg piano using Pianoteq? needs tuning, much more space, probably needs to go on the ground floor (The Korg is on the 1st floor at the moment and we're short of space). We've looked at acoustic uprights, but you definitely get what you pay for, and there are all the disadvantages e.g. So spending £2000 on a new digital seems a waste. Roland, Yamaha, newer Korgs and he says none of them feel "real", not even the £5000+ Clavinovas. He's tried various digital pianos in shops e.g.

He's working towards Grade 6, and is developing a nice touch. My son is the main player, and he's really fussy (he has piano lessons on a real acoustic grand - a 1960s Bechstein - then comes home & says the Korg is lousy). The sound generation is very dated (loads of digital buzz when you play on headphones) but the key weighting etc. Hi, we have a very old (20 years+) Korg C3500 digital home piano, 88 keys.
