Which keyboard controller is best for me?

Post by Adshead » Mon Jul 18, 2011 11:37 pm

I am looking for a 2 to 3 octave keyboard to go with my setup.

I have an APC40 along with a soon to be purchased padkontrol.

The main purpose would be for DJ mixes, remixing & mastering.

Looking to spend no more than £200 & would prefer plenty of control for Ableton Live.

I have been looking at a Roland A-300PRO & Akai MK25?

Does anyone have any experience with these or recommend something else?


Thanks,

check out edirol and definitely give novation a good look,
also even though I prefer the pads on the padkontrol by far, if you're going to be doing allot of banging on the pads and remixing you might want to check out the triggerfinger too, it's been around for a minute but it's cheap and has some pads that can take a beating plus some tricks up it's sleeve like the fact that each of it's pads can send out more than one message at a time, you can get real creative with that capability.
