I need a new keyboard, mine has got to many biscuit between the keys, and when they arn't sticking, it sounds like a type writer. Thoughts?

I totally want that keyboard. It would save me from having to drag out my big keyboard anytime I wanted to play around with Reason...



Though I can do without that guy's "o" face!! X-D

I might get a midi keyboard this xmas, but I don't know about an all in one unit.

Hi Guys im hoping to get a midi keyboard to go with reason (What a prog)! But im not sure which one to go for. Anyone know whats best??



Help!

Oi! Thet're helping me not you. These bloody thread hijackers

I don't want anything too fancy, just something that sounds good and which I can put samples onto and edit on my pc. I'm probably going to go into some local music equip shops and test some out, perhaps with a 'try before you buy' scheme.

Hey Iguana, chill out. We all here to help each other for heavens sakes.

No, I asked for thoughts on a keyboard I am thinking about purchasing, it would be nice for people to respond to that request before you ask your own question.

The product is not useful at all. As anType said, you can't really use it as a keyboard because there is no place to rest your wrists and I bet the midi keys are real cheap too. Plus, is it really wireless? Plus, if you need to use the keyboard with your music program (highly likely you use often) or if you need to use the mouse, you have to constantly switch your arms between holding the keyboard and holding the mouse (if you use it on your lap).



So why not buy them separately?

Well, I should have stated that there is an arm rest that is panel which covers the keys. I really need the dimensions for it, but I can't find them anyway. If it doesn't fit on my desk, there is no bloody point.

You can literaly use any keyboard with a midi. My keyboard is... wow, going on 16 years old, it's a Yamaha PSR 500 (it was top notch when I bought it new!) and it works fine - and my melodies are mainly paino-based. I basically use it as a "slave" instrument to access the sounds in reason and this works for me (even though I wouldn't say I'm serious, making music passes the time and it's fun). It's has 3 octaves so it's not a full size keyboard, but it has an octave change option that I find useful.



I would like something that has more bells and whistles though. By bells and whistles I mean a full size keyboard with weighted keys. I find it hard to play with any emotion without weighted keys - but that's just me, I learned how to play on a piano, not a keyboard, so playing on weightless keys has posed a problem sometimes.



It really depends on what's going to suit your needs. Do you need something full size, something with weighted keys, something easily transportable, something with a large soundbank, etc... and how much would you be willing to spend. I haven't been seriously shopping around for a new keyboard lately, but last year I went to a music merchants show and saw some eally high end stuff (I was in heaven the whole day but that's another story) the Korg Triton seems very nice - all-in-one music studio right there although it is way out of my league, expensive. Roland makes a great keyboard these days, too, I was impressed with the bells and whistles. For some reason I prefer the ol Yamaha. The sound banks are clean, amazingly organic which imo allows for more freedom to tweek effects-wise, and the weight and feel of the keys is amazing. There are several different models of full size keyboard Yamahas ranging from $800 and up but I bet you can find this stuff used.

that guy in the picturs is uhh... definately rockin out

whirlys right you can use any midi keyboard with reason as long as your PC soundcard has a MIDI interface.



It is however worth going for a cheap controller keyboard with knobs or sliders so that you can assign to stuff within reason. for example the resonance or cut-off on the synths.......means you'll be able to record nice filter sweeps etc...nice but not essential, can all be done with a mouse....



if you're just getting into production I'd resist the temptation to spend a load of money on a high end keyboard unless you're a pianist like whirly suggested.....you're better off spending the money on some basic software and equipment....



reason is a good starting block for sequencing and using synths - if you're looking to use audio samples then a good audio editor like soundforge or cool edit is also very handy and I can't stress enough how much benefit a cheap set of studio monitors will be to you.....



check out sound on sound and future music for more info - their forums are good places to pick up info too....

ITS NOT WHAT YOU USE BUT HOW YOU USE IT.

Now you don't believe that truely do you Thor. If your manufactures decided to fit you with last years microchip you wouldn't be able to function as well as you currently are. Although, with your last statement, I would contact your manufacture for an update.

Everything seems fine on my BIOs.

Just for my piece of mind get a diagnostic Thor. If you have a wireless connection installed you can get an unintrusive check up. If not, you'll have to deal with those pesky humans to check you out.
