Keyboard for Production
Keyboard for Production Posted on: 02.08.2013 by Ashlyn Gaulrapp So I am slowly moving into production as I have many ideas for song beats in my head. I am looking for beginner midi keyboards, but don't know much about them.I know that i want at 25 key or 49 key keyboard, but nothing bigger. I also have a budget of $400. Any suggestions or advice would be great! I also have a AKAI APC40 and a AKAI EIE IO PRO | |

| Orval Locascio 04.08.2013 | With a 400$ budget wouldn't the akai49 MAX be a solid choice? I realize they are about $500 new but I'm sure they can be found cheaper. I have an M Audio49 Keystation (I got it for free) and an Akai49 (non max) and the Akai is a MUCH better unit albeit twice as expensive. Essentially you get what you pay for. |
| Johnsie Kingrea 03.08.2013 | Hey Nitrotix I sent you a PM, I've got a Novation 49SL for sale. Could save you some money if you're interested. |
| Ashlyn Gaulrapp 03.08.2013 | Yeah, I was looking at the Novation Impulse & Launchkey, Probably gonna go with one of those. Looks great as an intermediate keyboard. I used to play, years ago, but the notes are somewhere in my head so it shouldn't be that hard learning them again. Thanks! I will post pictures of my updated studio http://community .djranking s.com/showthread.php?t=72156 Once I get decide what to get! |
| Ervin Calvery 03.08.2013 | I like Novation keyboards. I have not had a good experience with M-Audio and would not recommend any of their products. The SL mk2 is their top-of-the-line: Novation 25 SL mkii Then there's the Impulse: Novation Impulse 49 Novation Impulse 25 Then there's Launchkey, which is new and affordable. Novation Launchkey 49 Novation Launchkey 25 There's also QuNexus from KMI, which is a little different, but very flexible, powerful, and a lot of fun. Enjoy! |
| Kasi Kyung 03.08.2013 | Dude, I started with an M-Audio Keystation 49e. Basic, $129 when it came out, got the job done. If you want a 49 key that is just that, I'd suggest this one. |
| Natacha Rouhier 02.08.2013 | You might be interested in a Roland A49. Pretty minimal design. I don't believe you would need any additional faders, pads, or knobs since you already have an APC40 Less than a couple hundo |
