Keyboards are gay..

[Knarfi]

..but i want to buy one again, since i miss my old one and want to start playing again. I already asked this question a long time ago in the "musicians forum" here on UM, with not much results tbh. I know some of you play keyboards so maybe i could get some advice here. I want an affordable keyboard i can use for BM-faggotry, piano-faggotry, orchestral-faggotry and all that other gayporn music i like. Maybe i should get a synth? All advice is appreciated. Im not gay. Kthnxbai

"affordable"

My views of affordable is "free", I know some who would pay 500$ for a burger if it saves them 2 minutes of their life.

With affordable i mean i dont want to rob a bank for it

Well, if you have 5.000$ in your pocket right now, you won't need to rob a bank for that: http://www.music123.com/Kurzweil-PC...-Controller-Keyboard-703055-i1386665.Music123

PS: If you have 10,000, would you mind buying me one?




In a total serious note, I can't help you. But for 600-700$ Roland JUNO-D is the BEST for that price. Besides that, I don't know.

Same as i was thinking when i got mine



I got a M-Audio something 61

it has 61 keys, meaning you have a great range, it also has pitch and modulation, and octave buttons.


THOUGH.


It is a midi keyboard, you will have to rely on your computer, using a program such as REASON, to process the midi signals into whatever you want. i use this, ofcourse, 100% legallyCOUGHCOUGH

You can get pretty much any sound you want, ive yet to find any limitations(except hammond, but its HAMMOND, COME ON PEOPLE ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO REPRODUCE). Its a cheap solution for getting almost every sound in existence, but its not portable, unless you're using a laptop ofcourse.


Other than that, i have no idea

This means the keyboard has to be connected to my pc when I play? Or only to like, load in sounds or something? Actually the midi-thing sounds really positive, since you can basicly get any sound you want. I can even live with it if i have to have my pc/laptop next to it 24/7. Any idea about the exact price? Ill google it in the meanwhile


EDIT: Well, turns out M-audio has alot of something-61's

I have this one: http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Keystation61es-main.html

http://www.thomann.de/nl/m-audio_keystation_61es.htm

166€

Okay, so 166€ for the thing, and xx€ for the software is a total of 166€.
Thanks alot! This really helped me out alot. Ive been looking through the other something-61's aswell, they differ from price from 1xx to 3xx. I dont really think the 200 euro extra will really make me much happier, right? I read about drum sequences and stuff but i dont need those things i think.

Eitherway, thanks alot
