Q: 4. Deciding between the Recital and the concert models. is the key feel very different? hammer vs semiweighted adustable feel

A: Yes, there is a difference in the feel of the hammer action and semi-weighted keys on the Alesis Recital Pro and Concert 88-Key Digital Pianos. Hammer action keys can also be referred to as "fully-weighted" and the keys are heavier and can be harder to press down than semi-weighted keys which are lighter and very easy to press. Hammer action keyboards are often favored by players who have experience playing a traditional acoustic piano as this type of keyboard requires more strength and finger dexterity. There are also players who prefer the ease of semi-weighted keys. The sound of the piano can be the same whether the keyboard has hammer action or semi-weighted keys. Keyboards with semi-weighted keys are typically lighter, less expensive, and more portable. This is also true for the Alesis Recital Pro and Concert 88-Key Digital Pianos. There is a considerable difference in the weight of the two models. The Recital Pro weighs 26 pounds while the Concert model weighs 15.6 pounds.

Q: 5. Are the keys weighted?

A: The Keys one the Recital Pro 88 are full weighted hammer graded action keys.

Q: 9. Will this keyboard work with the Korg midi software?

Q: 10. Yes. That's what split and layer means. My question was whether or not it would layer and split at the same time. Please read this example: Bass on bottom and LAYERING piano and strings in the top?

A: The Layer Mode and the Split Mode on the Alesis Prestige 88-Key Digital Piano function separately and not simultaneously. On the model up, which is the Alesis Prestige Artist 88-Key Digital Piano (B&H # ALPRESTIGEAR), the Layer Mode and the Split Mode can be used at the same time. However, the manual notes that when you are using the Split Mode and the Layer Mode at the same time, the right-hand zone of the split will play both of the layered voices, and the left-hand zone of the split will play the split voice only. I am not certain whether the Prestige Artist model might provide the configuration that you desire, but it will allow you to use both the Layer Mode and the Split Mode simultaneously.
