One night at a gig, I had brain fart and forgot to
bring my second
MIDI controller. I borrowed a cheap Yamaha all-in-one keyboard at
home-- the kind of toy you'd expect to buy at Radio Shack-- and it
worked great and got me through the show. Had velocity and sustain
pedal and everything. Anything with a MIDI out port will work-- you
can probably find stuff at garage sales if you're really going
low-end.
I'm still pretty new to the whole music game and I'm interested to get
ideas for things I can do. Firstly, what do you use at a gig software
wise and what sort of things are you playing. Secondly, what do you use
2 keyboards for?
If you want USB, the M-Audio keyboards are, in my
experience, utter
crap. However, they seem to be the cheapest things out there. I
bought a used Axiom and it died after a couple months of use.
Garbage.
That's interesting. I was thinking of maybe trying to get one of those
later. They looked really nice. I've currently got an Evolution MK461C,
which I think is also M-Audio, but that works great. I haven't heard of
anything else though- any recommendations?
Thanks
