#Novation launchkey 49 mk2 ebay upgrade
I have many hours invested now in getting controls working on my PCR500 (but it works awesome now, and will work even better when I upgrade from 6pro to 7pro, as I will be able to use 8 faders and knobs for real time mixer volume/pan/etc). If you want REALLY easy mapping to your DAW, you should think about what others have said and consider boards like the Novation Launchkey (25/49/61) as it is supposed to map very easily with mixcraft 7. lightly used controllers on ebay at pretty remarkable prices! So keep watching and check the "sold listings" for each to get a feel for fair market value. That is why I went with the Edirol PCR500, but was also looking strongly at the Roland A500pro. I put cost effectiveness, keybed quality, and faders/pads/knobs at the top of my list. So I can point you to some brands/models and you could pick the number of keys you want.īelow is what I have come up with myself when searching for a keyboard. Such as mini (smaller keys, backpackable), 25 key stations, 49, 61, 88. However, most of the low/mid/high end midi control keyboards come in a variety of sizes for each line. They all have octave up/down for those parts needing lower or upper most registers. Not too big to lug to a buddies house, or put on a desk, but big enough to do more serious playing. I've found 49 keys to be perfect for the "bedroom" studio. But again, depends on what you want from your keyboard. But the Akai MPK2 (like MPK249, 49 key) is supposed to be pretty top notch too. Lower and mid-range offerings from M-audio, Novation (impulse and launchkey), and Akai will have more of a plastic (some say "toy") feeling to them. But be aware that the action, velocity, and aftertouch will be much higher quality or brands like Roland, Edirol, Arturia, Novation Remote SL series, etc.
If you are more into synth playing (and mixcraft 7pro has got some great soft synths to keep you busy), you would probably like spring loaded synth style keys. Semi-weighted are between synth keys and piano.
#Novation launchkey 49 mk2 ebay full
Full weighted feels like real piano keys. When you get into the larger boards at 61-88 keys, you have the options (depending on brand) of semi-weighted and full weighted. I have a mini grand piano in the living room, and nothing beats a full set of keys. How many keyboards do you need? If you are serious piano player and want to do piano type playing/recording.I strongly suggest a minimum of 61 keys if you have room, and even 88 if you are serious. So I'm selling it, even though its' got dedicated transport controls, knobs, great lighted pads, and 1 fader. Not enough room for 2 hands to do their things.always running out of keys. I found my 25 key axiom just has two few keys for anything more than live triggering/EDM composition/ Arps, etc. It's solid built too, but won't be gigged.
Got my last one on craigslist for $120, and looks/works like brand new! Since the Roland has the nicer keybed, aftertouch, user definable velocity curves, and 49 will be my main work station. I already had a M-audio Axiom air 25 I got new for $200 (25 keys), an M-audio Radium 49 (49 keys), and my new one is the Edirol/Roland PCR500 (49 keys). I just got a "new" keyboard (PCR500) after MUCH review reading, website studying, feature comparing, etc. So some things to consider, from my own personal journey. However, I also want plenty of faders/knobs/pads and transport controls (rewind/stop/play/record) so I can do as much as possible from the controller as opposed to moving my mouse and working from laptop keyboard. So obviously for me, a keyboard controller makes the most sense. I play piano, and love all things organ/synth, etc. Seeing as the post title has the words "keyboard controller", I will assume you will be composing/playing music via keyboard like me. From what i can see, you never answered the questions regarding the type of use (perhaps you are still pondering?). Lots of folks want to help, and are trying even with little return input.
