Sounds like you are just looking for a controller
well there are the M-audio Keystation 88's, which have nice features and knobs as far as a controller, but I personally don't like the feel of the keys that much.
I like the feel of the CME Controllers personally. But I have heard that there were some velocity issues and limitations and issues like repeated notes being triggered, this was at least with the older models, I hope this was fixed in the new releases because I think they are a very nice controller.
Quite honestly though, I really like the feel of the yamaha keyboards, such as the Yamaha S08. Great action! and it comes with some onboard sounds. If you are looking to spend some money close to a grand on a controller, you may not want to pass this one up.
I also liked the feel of a studio logic 88 key controller. It was very basic, good feeling keys though, but not much in the controller aspect with features and knobs.
hope that helps give some info. Your best bet if you are looking for feel, is to go try some of these.

I produce music using Cubase SX3, a lot of VST (I prefer "real sound" VSTs like B4 or Virtual accoustic guitarist, I'm not a big fan of too "electronic" sounds), and Reason 2.
Sorry the questions below might sound stupid, but master keyboards are a new thing to me.
I was working without any master keyboard so far, which limits the "natural" touch of my compositions, I think.
Therefore I'm looking for a master keyboard that would enable me to control my VSTs, not especially live, but more to record VST parts played with the keyboard in my tracks.
I've been looking around, and I saw on forums people recommending Korg Karma or Kurzweil PC2 (workstations). I've been to the websites, it looks more like synths with loads of sound banks, when I'm just looking for a master keyboard to play my VSTs (I wouldn't have much use of all these sound banks).
The ideal would be a keyboard with a nice set of sensitive keys and a few knobs to play with the sound...
Can anyone recommend a good one?
Thanks a lot for your help,
