Topic Starter	Topic: Need help choosing a MIDI-Keyboard
AndyW The Afflicted Joined: 11 Mar 2015 Posts: 848	Posted: 12-26-2016 12:33 PM                  So i found this midi-sequencer for win7 (Sekaiju4.9) and want to have some MIDI-Fun again! Last time i did that was in the mid 90´s using Voyetra Sequencer-plus for ms-dos But i need a keyboard, so i found this: it has usb-midi and classic midi-out (no "in"). Checked some vids on yt and it seems for its price its ok, im talking bout this one: http://www.alesis.com/products/legacy/q49 Anyone can recommend this or a similar-budget-buy? Some suggestions what to look for and what to avoid? I just dont want to buy shit! Thanks! _________________ Die Vitamine sind in der Dose gefangen!!!

Functions of those are a fine velocity, preferably after-touch, weighted keys, 53+ keys and as many potis as you can get. So, nope, I wouldn't go for the Alesis.
