I'm just waiting for my next paycheck so I can buy my first MIDI Controller Keyboard, and it will be the M-Audio Oxygen Pro 61 for sure! I was already into this keyboard even before I saw your video, but now I know for sure this will be a great choice! Thanks a lot!

i'm not a pianist. i'm a composer. but i tire of getting up going to my piano playing some ideas and then going back to my laptop. i want something i can listen to while at my workstation, and then use the same keyboard to enter into musescore or whatever DAW i have up and running. i don't need 1000s of voices, or auto drum rhythms, or auto chords. i just need something with speakers and that i can connect to my laptop. 88 keys not necessary. any recomms...?

These are controllers. controllers don't have or produce sound. Controllers merely play notes and allow you to do certain things as it pertains to manipulating those notes. Sounds like you want an actual workstation keyboard. Workstation keyboards have their own built in sounds/synth. Most come with some kind of sequencer and ability record directly into the unit. Some come with speakers, however most professional keyboard/workstations don't come with build in speakers. You have to connect them to some kind of audio system or you have to use headphones.

If you want to prioritize the keybed and key feel and response, what are number 1 to number 4 on this list? I was going to buy Nektar T6 since I’m a Pro Tools guy not Ableton, but I see some negative signals from users, some say keys are too heavy ie lower speed, some say quality control issues, some say Nektar support is low or they don’t keep updating the firmware, software (Nektarine), etc. I also don’t have any idea of how GXP61 feels and behaves for MIDI control in comparison to T6. If visual feedback of Nektarine makes up for not having display, and the keybed is good in GXP, then would combination of GXP and a generic knobs/faders like LaunchControl would be as good as having T6?

@jackthemurray
@jackthemurray 2 жыл бұрын
I would personally pick the oxygen pro because I’m very used to the m audio waterfall style key beds. If I were to consider the Keylab, I would likely go for the full featured keylab and skip out on the keylab essential as Arturias cheap keyboards have never been my favorite. That’s just me though. Hope that helps!

The keyboards in this video are not ideal. You’ll want to find an 88 key weighted digital piano style keyboard. I’d recommend something made by Roland. Maybe the FP-10, FP-30X, or similar.

The nektar Lx is really good The M-Audio is better But The nektar T4/T6 is the best simply because not only can you control your daw but you can also control third party plugins of all (Arturia plugins, Komplete plugins other third party plugins you can basically control all your VSTs with that controller especially using the nektarine Software

Yooo i was just about to check your channel for a new video. I actually have a question about keyboards. I have this old casio 61 key keyboard. It plays fine but its sounds are terrible and it only has audio out and pedal in, no midi. Is there anyway to still use it with a daw? Like a live audio to midi plugin?
@jackthemurray
@jackthemurray 2 жыл бұрын
Max! Great to hear from you man! Thanks for sticking with me despite my struggle to stay consistent! It means a lot! I don't know of any third party plugin that does this, but some DAWS have a built in AUDIO to MIDI feature. For example, in Ableton Live you could record an audio part on an audio track and then drag the clip to an empty MIDI track. When you do that a box will pop up asking you to convert to MIDI. This can be glitchy and isn't always spot on, but for simple MIDI parts it should help. I think the best long term solution would be to get some kind of USB MIDI controller. Even if it's a cheap old one. You should be able to find something online somewhere for even $20. Hope that helps, thanks again Max!

I literally just purchased an Akai MPK261. I own 4 other pieces of Akai gear so I had really good experience with them. However the keyboard had to be returned less than a week later as one of the keys wasn't working properly. This was a complaint I saw when looking into it. Didn't think I'd actually experience it but I did. Very disappointing

Depends on your price range. Likely something from Roland or Yamaha if you’re looking for built in sounds. Casio may also have an option with MIDI included. But just depends on what you want to spend.

I’m looking for a piano to: - practice jazz scales with (I’m a singer) - make instrumental music (using the drum pads to sample and produce music) - play live during performances - play in my studio (without a computer connection) - make beats (with computer connection) Ideally this would be a piano with built in speaker and midi capabilities. I am willing to buy a separate midi controller (I.e. 25 key) if needed but it must be compatible with the larger keyboard. No budget.
