MIDI Keyboards??

[DMurd]

hey,


I am looking into getting a Midi Keyboard, bought the NanoKey and think it is not the greatest and looking to get something more "legit" lol and some thing with a bit more features eg. knobs, pads, sounds and able to to use as a midi device

so just wondering is any keyboards that you use or anything that you use or recommend

thanks

Most people don't use MIDI Controllers that are also synths (onboard sounds) and there aren't a lot of options for this. It'd be cheaper to get a good MIDI controller and a good softsynth anyway

Well highly depends on how big you need the keyboard, but there a lot of different options.

M-Audio AXIOM 25
Akai MPK25 25

Both of those are smaller options, with knobs and pads. I believe the 49 key versions also come with faders, so those are something to look at.

Also the M-Audio OXYGEN 8 has some interesting mappings put on my DJTT that allow you to pull off some interesting things for DJing as well as being a functional keyboard.

+1 on the Oxygen 8, nice and easy!

Whats your price range? how many keys do you need/want?

The Novation Remote 49 SL Compact is an excellent controller!

the M-Audio AXIOM 25 is pretty damn dope

I would got something with more knobs and faders if you want to dj with a keyboard...
Oxygen knobs is just not enough...

What's your budget? I've done my homework researching keyboards some time ago, I can help you if I know your budget...

i would have to say 200 - 600 hundred some where around there
