Hello, I'd like some opinions on a MIDI keyboard, preferably

>>71312906
for under 800 dollars youll probably only be able to get something with just 88 keys no knobs and pads that you can connect to your computer

>>71312906
You can probably get a used 88 key kurzweil k2500 for around that price

>>71312906
Are you buying new or used? If all you want is 88 weighted keys and a MIDI interface you can get them as low as a couple hundred used.

There's very little point getting anything with faders/knobs etc. unless you intend to use it with a specific software it is already made to work with or you intend to program it yourself which is a chore.

You're right, what you should be looking for is build quality, aftertouch/weighted keys etc. sustain pedal compatibility, connectivity options, and some basic extras like a bend wheel and modulation wheel.

Yeah? You recommend

Checked

Mostly want to use it as a piano and change the tones time to time. Plugged into my desktop this thing can essentially do anything right? With key mapping I mean

So I don't really need anything fancy I don't think

Exactly what I was thinking man, you read my mind.

Computer should be able to do everything else I want it to

>>71313101
get an mpk261

M audio 88

or

Roland a88

>K2500
Yeah, still used industry wide. It's piano sounds are used in a lot of famous songs. It's not very mobile at 55lb but built better than anything new today.
