Questions about Master Keyboards (up to 49 Keys)

How important is aftertouch on a smaller master keyboard?

Aftertouch adds expressive nuances but can be less critical than keybed feel on a compact controller.

Can I realistically play piano parts on a 49-key master keyboard?

While possible, re-arranging or simplifying piano parts may be necessary due to the reduced range.

What's the difference between a master keyboard and a MIDI controller?

A master keyboard usually includes a keybed; a MIDI controller might not, relying on external input.
