hard to choose a keyboard...need advice

[NAki]

hi everybody,looking for a keyboard around $500.anything can be suggest?M-audio axiom and pro88 looks good..which one is better?await for an advice,thx.

Just be sure that you have at least 5 Octaves and that the unit is well constructed.

Lots of ppl like knobs and sliders so maybe some of them too. USB power is good.

M-Audio is generally decent stuff and being a recognised brand means that if your software relates to your controller then it is more likely to have the unit on file.

Play em and decide which you like the best

I had the Pro 88 and hated it, it's not the best mother keyboard. Try Novations Remote61L. For controling vsti's it's great, but doesn't have piano feel.

Excellent semi-weighted controllers from CME. I got a UF5 and tis lovely to play. Can be hardware upgraded as well.
