Looking for a good, affordable full sized midi keyboard

Post by ShrapnelDubstep » Mon Aug 05, 2013 1:27 pm

So I need a full sized (preferably 61+key) midi controller keyboard that works well and at a price that isn't considered ridiculous, this is my second as I'm currently using the Akai LPK25, I am posting here to see if there are any suggestions? I don't need sliders and knobs per say but I'd use them if the keyboard came provided with them.

Thanks

Do you want weighted keys or after touch?

I would like weighted, but touch would not be the end of the world, so I'm not really fussed.

I'll second wub's suggestion unless you are keen on a really expressive set of keys. Also, go used! eBay : )

I'm looking into it, cheapest price I've found so far is £110, which is perfect, and it's a really nice keyboard.

Thank you both for your information and help! :)

i liked the key feel of Alesis over Maudio as ive had both, but the M-Audio worked much more seamlessly with Ableton
