Midi Keyboard Suggestion

Midi Keyboard Suggestion

Beginner here, just gettin into the production side of things. Just looking for a recomendation on a midi keyboard i could use for production and for learning the piano on too. One with velocity sensitive keys would be ideal and a few knobs etc for the production side. average price range

Oxygen 8 there cheap and ean golden has done a wkd mapping for it

its very small and i don’t think its velocity sensitive. I want to use it to learn piano on too

If you want it for learning piano and production I think something along the lines of an Akai MPK49 will suit you well. 49 keys is about the minimum for learning piano imo.

yeah was thinking 61 or 88 but the 88 key ones haven’t much knobs or are really expensive

M-Audio Oxygen 49 is what I’m using now for a cheap additional controller. As stated above, 8 knobs, 9 faders, pitch bend, mod wheel, about 17 buttons, and then the keys themselves. Plenty of stuff you can map for hours.
My only complaint would be that piano keys are not the best for juggling cues, but with the amount of controls vs cost, I can live with it till I get a couple of midi fighters.
And if you are using Ableton, Reason (I think), and a few others. There are mapppings already for these programs.

Are the keys velocity sensitive on the oxygen 49

they are velocity sensitive.

yeah its still too small tho for learning the piano on

you’re too small

:smiley:

Are you saying the guy from Northern Ireland is a Leprechaun??? Brave move mate. That’s not something I would’ve done…

Where is Northen Ireland :stuck_out_tongue:

yeah no shit. all of my moves are brave.

Typo.

Sarcastic response would be to say ‘Yeah, where is that there Northern Ireland’. Having been to Belfast, Portrush, Bushmills and Ballyclare I shall shy away from such a response.

Belfast is one of the best nights out I’ve ever had.

haha well educated on life here then, aye good enough nights in belfast alright o up there regularly to shine stiff kitten etc

I’ve never got the chance to go to Kelly’s in Portrush. I drove past it in the daytime though. I imagine it to be like the Sub Club in Glasgow, just a little bit more commercial i.e great crowd, musical knowledge and fantastic DJ’s. Am I right?

Never been to the sub club, but have been to kellys bit too commercial for my likings these days but have been to sasha, digweed, carl cox etc there in the past and the place was mental, class crowd all going nuts
