Portable Midi Keyboard Help

Greetings,

I need to buy a 25 key midi keyboard.

I was looking at the M-AUDIO Axiom 25 and looks very nice. ( http://www.musicstore.de/en_EN/PTE/M-Audio...-SYN0002646-000 )

But I don't want want to use the USB interface. I want to connect it by Midi to my yamaha TX-7 and Alesis SR-16, using Yamaha QY-10 as sequencer.

Can someone provide some feedback on this keyboard or recommend a better one? Don't want to spend much more than 150Eur.

Best regards and thanks!

Most of those MIDI keyboards with USB work standalone if you plug a power supply into it, often 9 volts.

The Axiom looks nice anyway. Can't really recommend a much better one in that price range.

me and my friend both use the Axiom 25 and have no complaints, nice big LED screen, for $180 you can't beat it. the Novations are nice though.

seconding the novation

also korg just released the nano series which might be exactly what you're looking for:

thank you all for the replies.

I need the aftertouch on the keyboard, and that nano looks amazing for composing on the road, but too small and I need semi weighted keys for piano tracks.

The novation is too expensive isn't it?

Cheers

i would definitely ignore all the low end stuff just splurge on the novation remote 25 sl: http://www.novationmusic.com/products/midi...ote_sl/#details

just use your credit card

That Novation look wicked. But a bit out of my league. I am also looking for a Yamaha RM1x so I must take it easy :)

Am I the only one suffering from GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome)?
