I found some tiny footprint midi keyboards. They are
pretty much crap but are about the same size as a
standard pc kbd and ultra convenient. It's nice to
have to be able to punch in a tune without having
to crank up the whole midi rig. I have had a pretty
good time with mine so I though I would offer.....
If enough people want one, I'll buy some up while
they are available. I'm thinking $50 + $10s&h (USA)
would make it worth my time. So if you want one let
me know in the next day or so and I'll put you on the
list.
NOTE: There are only about 50 available...so they
could go fast. The software and midi cable included
is for the PC only.
I don't know about shipping these things out of the
country...It could be expensive, but I'll check it out
if somebody wants one.
Important things they don't have.
1 - No velocity
2 - No bender
3 - The keys are not full sized.
4 - Keys are a little touchy - Hair trigger so to speak.
5 - No battery compartment ( runs on 9V 100mA )
Good points.
1 - Tiny
2 - Convent
3 - Always available.
Package includes..
The MusicStar keyboard
AC adapter
CD - Full of pretty crap PC software
Midi In to PC- Joystick w/passthrough cable.
Here's a pic of the package.
NOTE: the pc keyboard is just there for comparison
and not part of the package. It's mine and you can't
have it...;-)
