Keyboard Midi Controllers

[The Leper]

Hey im looking for a Midi controller, i dont really need a top of the line one, just one that i can use some basic patches for, just for personal recordings and maybe some band use when we record.

Any Suggestions im looking for one under 100$ US.

I just bought an M-audio keystation 49key (4 octave) board cause my 5octave CME board is on back order till end of april.


The M audio is USb powered and i got it for £60

Thanks gav.
What will you be doing with your M-audio board after you get your CME, are you selling it?

Nah, can't hurt to have a backup i guess....

hmmm didnt know these were so cheap

 

[The Leper]

Hmm, alright, how is the M-audio been doing since you bought it?

What program do you use for patches, or do you create your own?

M-Audio... it gets delivered tomorrow.



Patches: All my patches are made in kontakt 2 using samples i have.


Midi keyboards make no sound, they just input note data to the computer/synth rack and it plays the nessiscary notes back as a VSTI/AU/RTAS etc.

Made a custom patch involving 2 choir libraries for choirs, Symphonic orchestra gold and THis huge hungarian Cathedral organ library i have.

Made each one in Kontakt and triggered the notes by midi.

Then, timpani was added
