G. I. Raffe Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Can anyone recommend a good cheap, small keyboard midi-controller ? My 61-key Radium has died and I decided I don't need all those keys anyway I was looking at this one, M-Audio Oxygen 8 V2 which looks pretty good, £60 odd: A cheaper one, Carillon Control 25, works out about £36 Any advise? thanks Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide G.

Siegecow Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) That carillon looks like a good deal! I've tried a couple midi keyboards, and for the most part theres little to tell them apart. If you're using it to control software synths then you might check to see how well certain/brands/makes are supported. Semiweighted keys are always nice, and check reviews to make sure its not junk that will break after a month. I've got this: and ive also owned an m-audio axiom 49, which was quite nice, but too big for me. The e-mu does fine, lots of knobs if i need em. edit: also if you're using software make sure the keyboard has good drivers for your OS Edited July 7, 2009 by 42Orange Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Siegecow's signature Hide all signatures On 3/16/2011 at 8:14 PM, troon said: fuck off!

Guest analogue wings Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 drivers arent an issue if you connect over midi. then you just need a midi box that has working drivers Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/47165-keyboard-controller/#findComment-1081840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubin Farr Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 M-Audio Axiom 25 is pretty popular with me and my circle of friends (yeah we're really original).
