Good MIDI controller keyboard
Hi!
I'm looking for a decent MIDI controller keyboard with aftertouch that integrates well with Reaper, i.e. faders & Co all work, preferably out of the box or with very little tinkering. I would like to use it as both a controller and VST instrument (with Superior Drummer, Instant Orchestra, and the likes).
I've looked around and come up with a list of products I might consider, but I'd like the community's perspective on whether these are any good with Reaper. I'm not asking whether the keys feel 'right' because that's highly personal. My main question is about compatibility and I'm looking at a price range from about $100-$450.
This list is:
- Nektar Panorama P4
- Akai Advance 49
- Akai MPK 249
- Novation Impulse 49
- Roland A-500
- Alesis VX49
- Samson Graphite 49
If anyone can recommend any of these (based on actual experience with Reaper), I'd be much obliged to know. If, however, there are better keyboards, I'm also keen to know about these.
Thanks!
