how about those without speaker and screen one? the m-audio midi keyboard couple with software sampler.. i think that sound much more nicer
I'm still a "pre" beginner, just looking for keyboard to jump start

QUOTE(genzunia @ Mar 15 2008, 12:09 AM) u mean those connect to ur pc? no la genzunia,tat would cost more than rm2000+!!!!!  m-audio keystation with 61key only rm700 1st hand one pretty portable too cos minus the speakers which IMO is heavy and make the keyboard bulky a good software programme (sampler) is aroud the range about rm500-1000.. so in the end u will hav something sound nice but cheaper than those good portable grand here..the akoustik Piano sampler can produce this kind of sound from a properly recorded midi(available from their web) http://rapidshare.com/files/99524110/rag_AP_.mp3.html This post has been edited by N33d: Mar 15 2008, 01:45 AM |

QUOTE(Andy214 @ Mar 15 2008, 09:06 AM) Those MDI keyboard does not have speaker, you have to connect to PC or MIDI devices to produce sound, the sound quality will depend on the PC/Midi device. i have to disagree with u bout the cheap keyboard... if ur input is not sensitive or 'cheap'.. the result that come out sure flat one.. u can get wat i mean by imagine pc-keyboard as a midi input and all ur sound is flat as square..mayb ur 'cheap' is those keyboard range around rm700 then i agree that You can connect your normal digital piano/keyboard to those device/PC too. Most digital piano/keyboard have Midi Output and/or Input. If you plan to play by ear, you should really check out the website I've provided. The course is well known and fun to learn. If you already have some piano background, you'll pickup in no time. Of course, that's not the sound produce from the Midi Keyboard. It depends on the PC/devices which output the sound. You can connect any cheap keyboard with Midi Output to it and produce the same sound. Heck you can even connect a cheap keyboard with Midi output to an expensive Digital Piano and use it's sound output for the sound. Many manufacturer sell some kind of device which provides various sound sample, you can connect any keyboard/digital piano with Midi output to it and get the nice sound from eac different manufacturer regardless of what brand your keyboard is. Try look up "Yamaha Motif-Rack ES" on YouTube and you should find a couple of videos of someone using a cheap keybaord with that rack and produce marvellous sounds. These devices isn't cheap, anytime cost more than a high end digital piano   Even expensive digital piano doesnt have the realistic sound compare to sampler, i don think that an xpensive digital piano have gigabytes of spaces,at least 1GB of RAM and a powerful cpu build in to recreate real piano like what soft sampler mean to..i prefer to bundle a mid-end midi keyboard with a good sampler QUOTE(raining again @ Mar 15 2008, 02:58 AM) wow that sounds damn nice ! i thought it was a real piano http://www.native-instruments.com/index.php?id=akoustikpiano  u sure it's around 1-2k ?check that out  USD 229 x 3.2 = 732.8..or more pro one, (more than 10GB-20GB ) http://www.synthogy.com/pages/audio.html http://www.galaxypianos.com/demos.htm <--like the sound of this most QUOTE(raining again @ Mar 15 2008, 02:58 AM) actually wats the dif between these two types of keyboards? midi is more on recording right ? midi keyboard need something like a computer to make it work.. btw, i'm just asking for knowledge, i'm more in portable with speaker .. plan to learn play by ear too, so maybe i could work in some band in college  one suggestion from me is install the sampler in ur laptop(if u hav la), then u can bring it everywhere.. just plug in speakers to ur laptop then u can play it out loud..downside is it need lots of hd space and at least 1gb of ram to make it smooth(=no lagging) This post has been edited by N33d: Mar 15 2008, 01:42 PM |

QUOTE(batuapi @ Sep 10 2008, 02:36 PM) another very good way is to just buy a simple USB midi compatible keyboard only and hook it to the pc and use the tons of software choices available. agreedthat is wat i am doing using midi controller, u will get better sound output if using a good sampler, dont need to worry about out of tune (real piano will be out of tune everytime u move it), light weight (without speakers,speakers are heavy) but the prob is u need at least a computer to run it and it's useless without computer.. so bring ur laptop if u wanna jam with ur frenz.. need powerful computer for resource hog sampler harddisk space..
