generic as hell midi controller

[greenscreens]

is there such a thing as 2 or 3 octave keyboard that literally looks like nothing but a keyboard? aftertouch would also be necessary. looking for something with very few knobs/buttons/faders.

the guys keyboard here on the desk maybe?

This keyboard may have a few more knobs than you want, but the knobs are small and (in my opinion) don't detract from it looking like a keyboard. It does have aftertouch, is nice to play, and isn't particularly expensive.

It isn't hard to come up with an instant mapping file that actually makes the knobs useful with Live. I have mine mapped so that one row controls track volumes for tracks 1-8 and the other maps to the current device's macro controls.

There's the LPK25 but its only two octaves


and the Cakewalk/Edirol A500S which has 49 keys and takes up too much space


3 octaves in a slim compact form factor would be just right for my needs, like GarageKey:

but its full size keys takes up a lot more space than I would like, and it has these weird legs underneath, and the deal breaker is that the octave buttons are on the back:


Wish someone would make a 37 version of the LPK25.

That's not velocity sensitive though.

Well that's the trouble with you young people, you always want what you can't have,

this thread has me wondering...

how generic is hell?

CME has a few slimmer keyboards: 4 octaves though.

It looks like the Cakewalk A500S is just a rebranded/repainted version of that. A 37-key version would be better.

isnt the lpk mini keys? does the miditech keyboard have a midi output or only USB? i would like to use it without a computer if possible. pressure/aftertouch would be the bonus.

the LPK would be awesome if it had a midi output as well as a usb output

yeah, I don't mind mini keys at all. You probably want to look at Edirols for midi ports.
