Okay, the word "best" is really all a matter of opinion. I'm looking for a keyboard that has a good sound quality (for the lower end of the price range, of course) and has the most features possible for customization and creating unique music.
I've been working with a Casio CTK-900 and while I was suprised at how much it had to offer for... ya know, being a Casio and all, it has it's limitations. The software that's packaged with it leaves alot to be desire. I'd like my keyboard to be working hand in hand with computer.
I was surfing Guitar Center's website and I came across the Axiom by M-Audio and it seems to be a sleak little package. It's got pitch bend and modulation wheels, 8 trigger pads, 8 encoder knobs and the software looks a whole lot better too. I'd either be getting the 25 or 49 key model.
After seeing it online, I went to the Guitar Center, had an Axiom 25 in my hands and headed for the counter. Halfway there, I got cold feet and left, Despite the low price of 175$, I don't want to make the wrong decision. I plan on heading out tonight to get a new keyboard and I just wanted to check with you guys to see if there's a keyboard comparable to the Axiom, in the same price range and may be better for me.
