Hi Everyone!
I'm going to buy a MIDI keyboard for arranging music on Finale. I figured this would be a good forum to join and get some shopping opinions from!
I have a $50 giftcard to BestBuy, so I think I'll just get it from there because I'm not looking for anything fancy (am I? Is there a difference in the cheap and expensive ones?).
I want at least 49 keys, and don't need any knobs or pads etc.
Would like it to just be able to just need one MIDI-to-USB cable and not it's own power cable. At this juncture I don't really see the need to spend more than like $100 because what I want seems to be in that price range.
I found 4 best-buy links and wanted to know what people thought was the best. I know fully-weighted keys are really where the cost is, but I'd be happy with semi-weighted I think.
Which of these do you guys think is the best? Are they all crappy and I should get a better one? Any thoughts are welcome.
