Hi

I am currently looking for a piano keyboard for pc, which you can compose songs on it

Since i am really a noob in this, please suggest something that has a wider range ( Some only have 1 or 2 octaves, i dont want that )

Thanks in advance!!

M-Audio has a whole range of MIDI controllers:

You can find their products at SMX in Berjaya Times Square. Their number is listed in our Music Shop/Jamming Studios sticky thread.

yea m-audio has some pretty good stuff. there are other brands too such as edirol but still i think for the price, quality, m-audio still do make pretty good ones. the axiom series is recommended. sorry ure a little late, i just sold off the axiom49 for as little as rm650 last week (pretty good condition u would think its a new unit).

you want weighted keys? If you do then they are usually more expensive.

Endless9930, do you have a digital piano that has a MIDI output? You could use that.

hi guys, wat bout this?
the USB roll up piano..
found it on the internet..
looks easy n can carry around..
cheaper too..

Looks like a toy lolx. Get one of these instead:

these expensive le....
who sponsor me...

may i know how many key is suitable for beginner ?

any price range?

whats ur budget? and do u prefer weighted keys?

mind explain what is weighted keys ? same as soft key ?

yea, i also need to know wat is that, coz i plan to learn from online video and myself

weighted keys means the keys feel and play like a real piano. Well that's the idea at least. Some companies have better weighting mechanics than others so they feel more "real". It's all about feel and nothing much to do with sound. Besides the fact that feel influences sound

But i'm not a pianist so i can't say which weighted keyboard feels the best.

how many key is recommended for beginner ? and function ?



@ Bassix
thanks!

No , my piano is the old school piano which is the upright piano

I am thinking buying something cheap , but the range should be at least 4 octaves

Added on November 20, 2007, 1:13 pmI found some cheap keyboard in TAMIYA toy shop in klcc

54 keys keyboard starts from RM149
And 64 keys starts from RM299

The price is reasonable to me , but theres no midi output

So, if theres is no midi output , does that means that i cant connect it to my computer?

Anyone can recommend where can i buy a cheap midi output keyboard??

that sounds more like a toy than an instrument.

try the m-audio oxygen series. thats one of the cheapest around. ask blacktrix how much he got his for
