hi, ive been thinking of getting a midi keyboard for a few months now. i dont need anything fancy as im only doing it for fun basically and to learn a new instrument (play bass in a few bands and a bit of geetar/drums) so im not looking to spend alot. if i get anyway decent at it ill buy a proper one in the future anyway.
just wondering what i need to get up and running. i will most likely only be playing in my house so it doesnt need to be mobile.
anything i should look out for in buying one? here are two possible cheap ones im looking at but any suggestions are welcome.

i take it with midi its the software that matters soundwise and the keyboard is for comfort/playability?
i have ableton live but can get other software if needed, will i need anything else to be able to sit down at my pc and make some noise?
cheers in advance
