49 keys? 61 keys? 88 keys?
49 keys? 61 keys? 88 keys? Posted on: 30.03.2013 by Jerrod Scholer Hi,Im currently using the akai mpk mini 25 key controller but its a little to small for playing chord progressions and bass lines and it doesn't have very many assignable knobs. Right now, im believeing of upgrading to the m audio oxygen 49. Is it worth the money to get a 49 key keyboard or should I get a 61 or 88? Thanks | |

| Gaynell Rydberg 31.03.2013 | Novation Launchkey is also being released soon. (supposedly) |
| Maryanna Burlett 31.03.2013 | Like SlvrDragon50 and lapinfuu I would also go for at least 61 keys. Did the jump from 25 to 61 keys myself about two years ago and for playing with two hands I wouldn't wanna go back to a smaller model. So in my opinion a jump from 25 to 49 keys isn't really worth it. But like SlvrDragon50 mentioned, this depends mainly on the key-range you need for playing. If you have the possibility, also go to a music-store and try/compare different (sized) models. |
| Vi Melroy 31.03.2013 | One of my friends soldl his old 49 keys because he started piano lesson so I'll agree with SlvDragon50 for this point, you should watch for a 61 keyboard. I will recommend novation impulse instead of m-audio axiom 2nd Gen. |
| Gaynell Rydberg 30.03.2013 | If you're playing with 2 hands I believe your're gonna want a 61 key, but that's really up to you. How far apart are your bass lines from your melodies? You should look into the axiom instead of the oxygen, much better reviews. |
