I have a Roland JV-80 that I bought new in 1992. It is reaching the end of its useful life as parts are failing, and it's time to replace it.

I originally bought it for the feel of its keybed, and that's why I've kept playing it.

Can anyone recommend a current production MIDI controller or synthesizer with a keybed that feels like a JV-80? For a MIDI controller, I'd like to keep the price well below $1000 USD. For a good analog or hybrid synthesizer, I'd be willing to go higher, but I'd still like the price to be well below $2000 USD.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

The unrelated helium leak in the Starliner’s propellant pressurization system was noted during the countdown last week, but it remained within safe limits for flight. After the Atlas 5 and Starliner were rolled back to the VIF for the oxygen valve replacement, managers decided to take a closer look at the helium issue.

This looks like a "since we're in the garage, lets take a look at it" kinda thing.

Apologies if this is a re-post. I did check.

Edit: as some have pointed out, this is NOT the full SSD 5.5 with all kits. This only includes two distinct kits, with a third kit adding reverb to one of the other two.
