Hi, well.. I have a little Midi Controller called Midiman Oxygen 8, is pretty good... but is not a keyboard .... just a controller.. so.. u just will control all your programs via this Midi Controller.. I have it but I havent used it yet, since is not in my home yet, but I have heard many many good things about it.. thats why i bought it.. but u have to remember that is just a controller.. it wont sound Stand-Alone... but if u get some Soft Synths it might be very good....
well.. thats all i can say.. if u want more info about this contreoller go to: www.midiman.net
hope that helps.
EDIT: OHH .. and its just 140 USD ;) |

| For around the same price you can get an Evolution MK-249C. That's what I've got. 4 Octaves, 12 controllers. I'm a keyboard player and having a two octave keyboard would drive me insane, that's why I didn't go for the Oxygen 8. |

Dowlze, that looks pretty sweet.
I got a couple of questions for ya. Are the keys weighted at all. Does it get its power through the usb from your computer/batteries/external power supply/d - all of the above.
I looked on their website and they say that it has usb out but i couldn't find if it has midi out as well.
Next, how does it perform. And finally, can you get them in Aus' or did you bring it in from overseas. |

Yes the keys are weighted (although I'm a pianist, so playing on a midi keyboard is nowhere near the same)
Gets it power from the USB. However, you can buy a separate power supply, should you use it for a gig.
It has both USB and midi out (I use the USB)
It performs ok, but it doesn't have the finger control of a grand piano if you know what I mean.
You can get them from www.derringers.com.au (that's where I bought mine, they have a really nice store and friendly staff too). I think they ship throughout aus.
Mine cost $379.
Hope that helps ya cheggy :) |

I have a Roland PC-300 USB, it's ok for the price i guess, but i don't like roland mod/bend stick thing.. real mod / bend wheels would be alot better.
