looking for a portable midi controller(keyboard style but with knobs).

my budget is about rm500. can i get a portable one(as i will be moving to kl to study in UTM this 1 july) with USB(to connect to my laptop) with a few knobs too. i'll be using it with reason3.0, which i am still quite new with.

hows the MK-425C, Oxygen8 and M-Audio O2 by m-audio? what are the main differences and are they within my range?

i also posted at http://forum.jamtank.com/viewtopic.php?t=6...0a5ec70c77cbf96

thanks

i am hooked to reason. =D the rewire function lets u use it with other programmes too eg adobe audition, pro tools, etc

yea takes up quite alot of space

i went to the one at time square but theres not even 1 stock except the 49e(m-audio)

where else can i go to buy?

thats kinda low end. not my thing. plus i am using a laptop for this(i live in a hostel here). those also dont have extra buttons, pitch control, etc. my budget is now about rm800. besides lowyat and times square are there any other places that sells things such as these?(went to both, both no stock)

full blown keyboard will be quite troublesome coz as i said i am studying in kl and living in a hostel. i move around alot so i want something thats portable with my laptop too(and fits into my laptop backpack). the m-audio stuff looks really good just that i only know its distributed by a music shop(SMX if i m not mistaken) in times square and also brought in by midi specialist in lowyat.

its alright. thanks for replying in this topic which is filled mostly with my own posts. i am thinking of m-audio mk-425c if the price is right. the trigger finger 16pad midi drum control surface looks really nice.

i think i am settling for a m-audio 02 for probably rm600+. waiting for stock at SMX.

600+ list price.

i tried quoting from midi specialist in lowyat but its a ESI neon and that one is over 900 after discount. (please note its not a full sized keyboard but a portable 25 keys one!!!!)

my bro is into the m-audio finger trigger(16-Pad MIDI Drum Control Surface). he is planning to get it. he is planning to get into sampling. it costs rm900+. the thing is would the m-audio 02 do the same job as well? its only rm600+ somemore.

Jasontll, it all comes down to the features. the connections u want (whether u need all those fancy inputs and stuff), how many keys, knobs, sliders, portability etc.

when will it be out? wonder hows the price for the 25. just when i thought of saving up for a jc120....

GOING WIRELESS!!!!!!

rm90 at lowyat. works well for me.

cant remember the name of the shop. its not a music shop. its that huge shop that sells alot of computer parts. cant remember what floor

heres a rough sketch. u can find it at that alley area.



i know its really really bad but i dont know how better to explain which shop

hey, at least i didnt label everything "computer related stuff"

quite hard to tell u actually. it depends on what u actually use. if u're gona nail down some tunes then u'll need a keyboard type. rm1k can get u almost anything already i think.
