Right, basicly, Im getting tired of piano rolls and am looking to buy a Midi keyboard. Im just wondering, what one to buy? Is there any industry standard? What are your recomendations?

Thanks....

I’ve got the Behringer umx 61 and I gotta say I’m pretty happy with it.

I know, most people say behringer is shit and yeah, some products may be. Though you should not judge a whole company by some shit products or by the fact that they produce things in china or wherever (damn, the keyboard I’m typing this on is made in china too and works fine).

I say you can get any midi keyboard, size depending on if you play the piano and need two hands or not, that includes some functions like octave shift, velocity-sensitive keys and has some midi controllers to link to knobs in your software (I found that quite useful, especially when recording automations).

Before you buy simply check google for some reviews people wrote that bought the product and you are pretty much on the safe site.

Cheers!
