Members Tinyrobotdude Posted September 9, 2007 Members Share Posted September 9, 2007 Appologies on regarding another post for help after the people that helped me out last night did such an awesome job. I'm quite new to the keyboard /usb controller thingybob buisness and it is my first time buying one. I play to buy dfh superior and then map drums to the keyboard via midi and record straight onto cubase. I plan to also use the keyboard for occasional grand piano recording. I am quite puzzled as to which keyboard i should go for: I've narrowed it down to about 5 or 6 and would just like to know what you think is best value and which you would buy.

Members cyberpunx Posted September 9, 2007 Members Share Posted September 9, 2007 if you're not used to real piano keys, I would go for the keystation es, and spend another 200 on a korg padkontrol. I would think it would be difficult to play drum parts on a weighted keyboard, but I suppose it depends on what you're used to. I have the keystation 49e, and it works great (also is an exact fit to my desk). I also have an akai mpd16 that I use for drum parts. I'm hesitant to recommend that though, because the usb drivers are crap. I constantly get blue screens of death because of the drivers. BUT if you just use the regular midi out (like i have to do now) it's not a problem. Hope this helps. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Then do the world favour - get on a plane to whereever they are made - and use it to beat the crap out of whoever signed off releasing it in that state.

Mike I think i might go with your idea and buy the korg pad thing, it seems to everyone (that ive read reviews from)that its alot easier to create drum beats with a pad as opposed to a keyboard. I've just watched a demo of it and my god it looks so great. It even shows the guy using with dfh superior (the program which i was planning to buy) thanks mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
