[MusicTlk] Looking for a Blind friendly digital piano and app

[Chip McCain]

That’s what I’m using. I bought one of the smaller keyboards the 25 keyyversion just to be able to have the accessibility. I didn’t need the full-size one since I have a Yamaha S 90 as my main keyboard in my studio. The accessibility is rather good, and more companies are jumping on the bandwagon, producing plug-ins that are compatible. Period. As far as  Roland, Period. Forget about it. I’ve been emailing them since 2011 begging for them to make the editor for the Integra seven accessible and all I get is a message that there’s no plans to do so.

They are are all even gigging with the KK keyboard, laptop and a small  audio interface. I don’t know that  you will beat that set up for accessibility.
