What midi keyboard do you have? why is it so good? Recomend me!!!

[timinya]

I will be investing in a midi keybord very soon, but i've just about gone nuts over which one i will chose, like ones with beatpads etc.

Cost over quality?.. or Quality over cost?

i'm tired of weighing up pros and cons over and over, so i thought i'd ask you lot here!

I've looked at the Novation Remote Sl, or perhaps M- Audio range..?

any advice greatly appreciated! tim

The only advie I can give you, because you mentioned beatpads: Stay away from the Korg MicroKontrol. The build quality is sub par - one rotary after another died on me after I got it.

i would say either novation or axiom or akia mpk series

[timinya]

i think perhaps my best option at the mo would be the Novation remote sl compact 49, apparently their automap feature is really reliable. I will also be using Reason 4.0

still will keep my eyes peeled though

i do really feel like a little kid who wants a new toy lol

Novation Remote 25 SL

It fucking owns. I would buy it again without a single question. Has everything you want. Not to mention automap 2.0 which is freaking awesome.

Cheap: M-Audio Axiom
Pricey: Akai MPK49

I've never used a remote sl but the MPK49 was an awesome keyboard. Built really really sturdy but was heavy for a 49 key.

The Edirol PCR series has a buttons, knobs and faders and it even has a crossfader and is really inexpensive. My only complaint is the unreliable crossfader. Hope it helps

I got this:

I use it to control Traktor Pro and throw some notes in FL Studio. Very cheap and reliable.

My next toy will be the Novation ReMote 25 SL:

I love my Remote 25SL. I'd fully recommend it.

Also, if you want the pads, look at the Kontrol 49.

I'm always a Quality over cost. If you know what you want to get, then spend the money. If you're still testing then buy cheaper stuff to get a feel for what you really want to invest in. The cheaper you buy, the sooner you'll need to replace.

thanks all, just the answers i wanted to hear

basically confirmed my choice which will be a Novation Remote Compact SL, 25 or 49 key, i agree, quality is deffinitely better in the long run,

Man, i love the internet, what would i do without it?
