    Default Maschine and Keyboard question

    Hey guys i'm looking at picking up a keyboard for Maschine so it'll be easier to play different notes. I've looked at midi keyboards online from companies like m-audio but would a cheap keyboard from walmart work? They're accept midi so is it as simple as plug and play? What would be the benefit of getting a more pro line keyboard to work with maschine.

    That Akai keyboard looks like a good bet.

    I have an Axiom 25 that I connect to my Maschine, but i can't get the expression or modulation to work via USB connection? Would this be fixed by changing to a MIDI cable?

    I'm not looking to go to a pro model unless I have to, I'm just curious if a basic no name midi keyboard will work with Maschine i.e. play samples in the different keys.

    maschine software is not capable of pitch bend or modulation, that should change in the next update though.
