All instruments that aren't guitars (or bass guitars).

Quality MIDI keyboards?

Post by indiedennie » Thu Jul 17, 2014 5:38 am

I would like to have a 37 or 49 key MIDI keyboard with full size keys for my Microbrute.
Is the any good keyboard for this without all the sample pads?

Do you just want keys, or do you want the assignable knobs and sliders as well?

The Novation 49 SL MKII is a fantastice piece of gear, but it might be overkill for what you're looking for.

I don't want sliders and assignable knobs, just keys, mod wheel and pitch bend.

Mod wheel and pitch bend are not even necessary.

Do you need midi in/out and thru? If not M-Audio/Roland have 49 key controllers that fit the bill. They are powered and send midi over USB only though. Targeted at people using laptops or iPads. Does the Microbrute have USB?

I use (and really like) the AKAI MPK-49, but it includes all the workstation add ons that you don't want.
