Midi Keyboards?

Genophonics · Post by **Genophonics** » Tue Nov 30, 2010 6:19 pm

I've decided I'm going to grab a midi keyboard since it will be much easier than placing in all the notes by mouse haha. What exactly is good for producing key wise? I guess I'm asking how many octaves on a keyboard is good to have? 37 keys is 3 octaves and 49 keys is 4 octaves if I'm understanding right.

25 is fine for starters, MPK25 is a nice one imo, but theres plenty of others

the amount of midi keyboard threads lately is confusing me, search function is your friend.

Wouldn't that be to little though? Like what if you're wanting to play a bass line on a lower octave and then play some higher notes say like 3 octaves up at the same time?

it's all about prefernce and what you're using it for, you didn't say what you wanted so i recommended what i personally use, wont help in future.

Personally I'd recommend getting more than 25. I started with an oxygen8v2 and it was fine at first, but then I learned how to actually play keys a little bit and now 25 is very limiting. Even if you're not really a keyboard players I think more than 25 is a better investment long term.

I just use my huge Yamaha I used prior to producing for playing around with. Just snag a MIDI converter and walla 60+ Keys at my fingertips

i'm planning to replace my CME UF6.
Any experiences with NOVATION NOCTURN 49? - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmd3ybHW8uM
would you recommend it?

I need min 49 keys, velocity-sensitive and drumpads. 215EUR/335USD
Or do u have any other suggestions? AKAIMPK49 is a little bit expensive (333EUR) and i'v read the drumpads or not very good.
