What MIDI Controller for MOTM-650?

2005-09-18 by Richard Brewster

I am taking a big plunge with the 650 by getting into MIDI and a 
keyboard.  While not a keyboardist, I like the idea of having more 
controls.  I need some advice about a keyboard.  My basic requirements 
are at least 37 keys, 61 max, and velocity sensitive.  Here are some:

The wood cabinet matches my dot com cabinets perfectly.  But the 
controls are limited.  I am wondering whether something fancier -- if 
not as good-looking -- would be more entertaining, such as the following:

Alesis Photon X49:

Korg microKONTROL.  But I'm not sure I want mini-keys.

I do not intend to plug this keyboard into a computer.  Just MIDI out to 
the 650 or my Digi-001.  While conceived for that purpose, these should 
work without the computer, right?  I do have a computer next to the 
synth running Windows 98SE and ProTools LE 5.1.  So I might take some 
advantage.

Your thoughts and experience are much appreciated!

TIA,

Richard Brewster
