Hardware Midi Controller Keyboards: compare prices for your home recording studio

View a list of all Midi Controller Keyboardss at the mashup catalog!

These units differ from the ordinary synthesizers in that they don't have sounds of their own of any significance, if at all. They are used for recording MIDI into your computer which can then be assigned to any sound module or software synthesizer you have.

They should have sufficient keys, and quality features such as velocity sensitivity, aftertouch and modulation. Some keyboards include a MIDI mixing surface.

 


M-Audio Keystation Pro 88 MIDI Controller

The new Keystation Pro 88 is the first USB master MIDI controller designed specifically to let you perform, program and mix music directly with your computer. Regardless of whether you're a seasoned pro or just ready to take your music to the next level, our 88-key hammer action is so expressive that you simply won't want to stop playing it. And the complement of 59 (yes, 59) assignable controls delivers more than enough tactile command over your favorite soft synths and digital audio sequencers like Reason and Live. This bus-powered master controller unifies everything you need to experience the full potential of today's virtual studios-and at a price and weight lighter than you'd expect.
