MIDI keyboard (in MT2)
Reply with quote

What do you think about it?



http://www.prodikeys.com/

Its not pro thing, it uses standard PS2 port, but i've just read a good review of this keybord, its cheap and it seems to be good enough for midi newbie.

Could it work fine with MT2?

My experience with cheap stuff like that is usually that it's totally crap!!! Better to spend some extra bucks and get a decent midi keyboard and not a toy-hybrid-mini-midikeyboard-keyboard like that. and even tho you claim to be a "midi-newbie" I think you should get something you can grow in.

my 2 cents

I have this one. It was 200 euro's. There's a cheaper version, without the knobs and faders for 100 euro's. I bought this one because I hope MT3 will support will support automation recording.


what is hip?

Actually, I have one of those too. Same model as yours, Walter Vos! I don't think a midi keyboard have to be so expensive, if it can do what it is supposed to do, which is playing notes. I orded a much cheaper midi keyboard, but I got this instead, because they didn't have what I had ordered in stock. I saved about 100 euros Smile

I have never used anything else than keybord, and was never good at piano etc. A keyboard takes less space than a midi-keyboard:) So I think I'll prefere a standard keybord! Very Happy

(atleast I know where to find a c-4 on a normal keyboard) Very Happy

Nice MIDI-Keyboards. Damn I need to get a new one too my PSR500 is broken after 12 years. I really enjoyed those nights playing it for several hours, free improvisation. Tho, money is rare here Rolling Eyes .

Anyone experience with this one?

About those midi keyboards. I'm totally new to tracking and midi stuff so please forgive me if there's a selfexplanatory answer to this question.

Anyway, I have an electric Roland piano with midi out/in/thru. I know this one good, but I have no idea what so ever how it works with the computer and MT2?

I don't have the right cable but will buy one if you guys thinks it will work.

The output from the piano is one of those http://www.record-producer.com/i/midi-out.jpg and if my memory is right the input to the computer is a 15 pin connector which is found on the soundboard.

What drivers etc. will I have to install to get it to work the right way with MT2?

Thanks!
/David

It looks that you will need a MIDI adaptater to plug in your soundcard joystick port (that 15-pin port).

Afterwards, simply plug the electric piano to the adapter with a MIDI cable. Nothing more should be required as the MIDI drivers should have been already installed with your soundcard.

Ok, sounds simple.
I guess it's something like this I need then?
