Guys, do you know if there's a really small midi-keyboard on the market? (USB midi preferably). I'm not interested in a controller, really. I already have an UC-16. What I'm looking for is kinda like the Korg microKONTROL but without the, eh, KONTROL part. Or the Prodikeys without the computer keyboard. I only want to use this thing for auditioning sounds while programming soft synths.
I've already found a really small violin
and a really small harp
. They don't have midi though.

Oh, I should say I'd really like it to be velocity sensitive too and have pitch & modulation wheels. If not for that, the M-Audio eKeys37 I guess would be right.

Hi pekadan,
The smallest KB's I can remember are the Yamaha CBX-K1 and the Evolution one that comes with dancestation. Both are REALLY old now so I dont know about USB and that?!?!
Evolution DanceStation
Yamaha CBX-K1
I know Yamaha did make a CBX-K1XG with an XG synth inside but as far as I remember they were a crazy price...
Hope this helps!
Dave

The Yamaha CBX-K1 looks very "right". I'll have to read more about it. Thanks!
About the Terratec TMS 3. I can't seem to find any info about it on the web. D-Fusion, do you have a link?

Not being a *real* keyboard player I would like something smaller myself - desktop space near the computer is TIGHT even with the little Oxygen8!

Let us know how you get on?
Cheers,
Dave

You know you'd make more room for the keyboard if you could settle for smaller monitors in that studio of yours.

Yes to be sure!
The iMac has a Firewire 410 underneath the desk and that goes out to my Roland VS2000/PM 0.5's on the other side of the room - so its only the computer set-up I have to minaturize.
Along with me bed, clothes, 4 guitars, books PS2, chair, 3 cats and when Im lucky a girl... I think I should call it the Tardis...
Cheers,
Dave

The Evolution eKeys is a 37 notes mini keyboard. However, it's not USB. You connect it to a sound card via the joystick connector.
