m-audio oxygen 61 keys isnt available here, even if it is...its out of your budget.
the cheapest is the m-audio keystation 61...semi-weighted...RM700+.

btw, m-audio keyboards 4 octaves or more is either 49, 61 or 88 keys.

First you gotta know how to connect your music keyboard to your computer. There are 2ways to do this. Midi output to USB, or USB to USB. I recommend using USB to USB since midi cables are expensive.

Just find a keyboard with a USB port and you should be ready to go. For your budget, maybe get a Casio/Yamaha digital piano and when you have enough cash to upgrade, buy a Roland/Korg. I'm using a Korg right now and it's good.
BTW, go to your nearest music store. You should be able to find some cheap keyboards (especially Yamaha outlets).

Actually i found some , As low as RM149 for 54 keys.

The problem is all keyboard are just "instrument"

no midi out put, nothing

Anyway , can i write scroll with the audio output? ( i think recording should be no problem, but writing scroll?)

Can you point out approximately how much a 61 keys keyboard with usb or mide output cost?

And what are the cheapest one? And where can i get it?

Added on November 21, 2007, 1:08 pmLets put midi output aside , if i connect the audio output( Headphone) to my audio input , is there any program that can recode clearly? And save the file in midi? So that i can turn it into piano sheet with midi notate

Btw , i went to toyland in klcc , they are selling some cheap 54 keys keyboard , when i played , i heard a load hissing sound , and SQ really sucks , i am definately not spending my RM149 on it

So...Anyone knows where to get one ( Prefer have usb or midi output , i still accept if it doesnt have this output) cheap chaep and the quality is decent? ( SQ ok and no hissing sound , no weighted keys , i am not rich enough )

Thanks in advance

im sure everyone already expected those rm149 keyboards wont be good

anyway, cheapest 4-octave one with midi out i know is m-audio keystation 49...just over RM400 for it.

Thanks for telling me , but now i put aside midi output function

If its just for fun , is there any you recomend?

Decent SQ with a low price

Well, if i put the midi output and usd aside , if i just want to buy to have fun , what you will recommend? I cant afford something like Yamaha or anything like that , i want a 61 keys ( Or more) keyboard with a decent SQ

When can i buy one cheap cheap?

toys r us

..............

So after a BIG circle , you tell me to go back to toyshop....

wat else can u get with ur budget of RM100-200?
else u go look around junk stores like cash converters or buyselltrade and find one...or even lelong.com.my.

Ok , thanks

i will search for more info , anyway if you guys got some good news please do not hesitate to post here

i doubt u don't understand what is MIDI, better do some research on it first, goto wikipedia read up MIDI related articles.

I know what is midi

actually to think about it...
even those midi to USB converters are already RM100-200. Edirol goes higher than that if i'm not mistaken.
asking for a midi/USB keyboard for that price is abit nuts.

I was thinking going to a toyshop and grap one 61 keys keyboard , dont care about connect to pc anymore........

You can do that... but when the novelty wears off, you'ill start to look for something decent to play with.

I doubt that those toys are velocity sensitive... where's the fun in that lar lolx. Save up for something decentlar... Even the Creative Prodikeys are velocity sensitive, good enough to accompany you while you save up for a proper controller.

Honestly if i have money , i will buy one with full 88 keys keyboard.

A decent one with weighted keys cost around RM3000

If i have money of course i am going to buy that, and after that i am going to buy a Grand piano ( My dream!!!! )

well i know someone who wants to let go his m audio axiom 61 for rm700

btw, does anyone know any software where you can play keyboards using your PC keyboard?
