just tested and bought it novation nocturn 49 controller and I'm happy so far.
Very nice "fast fatar" keys much longer then many more expensive controllers or keyboards.

still looking and actually changed my mind and won't get vmk-61,
too big and heavy. NP-11 too long because of speakers, don't need them.

Thinking now about novation nocturn 49:

anybody tried this board or 61 version?

Since it's midi, I just add a midi to USB adapter and I can use Pianoteq.
you ca play piano on non weighted keyboard???

Why not? It's not as pleasant, and it's not going to teach you piano technique if you don't have it already, but if you can adjust the velocity curve so you can play more naturally (Pianoteq allows for vcurve adjustments), then it's doable, although I wouldn't want to do it all the time.

You're limiting your choices severely if you require 61 keys only. The full size casio's weigh less than the 61 key VMK-61.

I know, but unfortunately I travel a lot, flying etc. 88keys no way I can drag with me because of the size... At home I have roland RD700GX 88 keys stage piano with hammer action, ivory fell etc

Also, only classical pieces requires constant use of full keyboard range, practicing or playing jazz etc not really.

Probably someone else has said this before, but you're limiting your choices bigtime if you insist on 61 keys.
A full size 88 key weighted action Casio weighs less than the 61 key Studiologic VMK-61.

looks really great and portable but for that price ???
I'd rather buy stage piano for that money...
besides I heard opinions that action is not that great after all.

I am considering very seriously VMK-161 hammer action although it's freaking heavy...

Read some of the reviews on this VAX77 ... seems to be a really well-done keyboard, with the fact that it folds for transport to be just a nice side-benefit. I've been following it's development for more than a year, and it seems they've matured the product into a very technically solid, high-performing product.

I'm considering ...

one more vote for the Casio Privia (mine is PX320): line in for audio, USB for MIDI, very light, reasonably good keyboard (not comparable to a Steinway D however!), not expensive, and even a decent piano sound on board just in case you have no laptop (= no PTQ) at hand. I just went on tour with this one and it wasn't too hard not having a real piano...

Want something really, really portable?

OK just a joke ;-)
