Hi, i hope this question hasnt been answered before if so i apologize, but are they any keyboards that are midi controllers and have the ability to be a standalone synthesizer keyboard? And if so, what kind are there?
I've had some fun in Fruitloops loading in midi's and adding junk with it, but its a tad tedious to compose and click in all the notes, and i kinda want to use Reason, but there doesnt seem like there is much to do without a midi controller.
So are there any synths/midi controllers out there?
Do you think i should just stick with a midi controller and not get a synth?
Also, does anyone have a Virus C and is it any good? |

Yes
Its up to you
Yes, I do
Yes
Most synths are capable of transimitting midi data along with sysex. If you want to get a VA with keys and dials, you are gonna be coughing up quite a bit of dough. Something like the Virus KC isn't cheap. |

Any hardware synth with sounds on the market can be used as a controller. Unless it's a rack version, that dosn't come with a keyboard..
And about viruc c.. Let me tell you that take top 10 trance songs and I bet you the synth that was used in most of them was viruc c.
I use to have a lot of hardware synths, but honestly one viruc c and cubase sx is all I need.. |

I'm sorry to come in the middle of this thread but I had a question to ask as well. I have a Novation KS4 keyboard(not sure if any of you are familiar with it) and I am interested in purchasing Reason 2.5. My question(given the situation) Can I use the Novation KS4 with reason for MIDI and the built in synth sounds? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Also. Do I need any type of interface to make this possible? I need to know what else I need before I purchase. |

| yes, you'll be able to use the KS4 as a midi controller for reason. however you won't be able to use it as a synth because reason doesn't support external devices/vst's. |

| With Reason Do you think I would even need a synth? I can still take back my novation, would it be wise to return it and purchase a small MIDI controller with reason since I can't use the built in synth sounds? :conf: New at this. Please don't flame |

| I would like to add that the Novation KS4 was not that cheap my friend. Retail was like $1299 I purchased for around $400(open box item)So really it was cheap for me. |
