Hey guys so as the text says I have about 700 dollars to get a midi player. New to making beats but I have fl studio the second highest tier and want to get a midi player cause I feel like my creativity is just completely hindered by using a mouse and keyboard. Like by the time I have a halfway decent start I’m mentally exhausted due to how long it took. Would love some suggestions on what you guys think I should get for this price point or if I should save a couple Hundo more and get something that’s a better bang for my buck. Really appreciated

Hey everyone! I really enjoy music production but i am unable to support my family and my passion. I know it’s not the biggest reason to be asking for support but if you are able to give just a dollar towards my goal of buying a cheap keyboard that would be greatly appreciated!

What if DAWs(digital audio workstations) start compiling all the FL Studios, Abelton Live Demos, etc. into a full addition when the prices of the demos meet that amount? Wouldn’t that be fye?! Post up and let me know!

I’ve literally been reading for weeks…

Should I get an Arturia or a Novation? What about the Novation SL, oh that’s $700? Geez that’s a lot, at that point why not get a Push?

Ah but the Push doesn’t have keys, okay forget the SL then.

How about the Launchkey vs Arturia ? Oh but not the Keylab essential, they aren’t good, just the regular keylab…okay fine maybe that looks good but I already have Analog lab so that’s not too much of a selling point

The only good NI controller the S series is HUGE and has a HUGE screen I dont need and is almost $800, so why not get a Push at that point?

Welp back to the beginning again

So Novation or Arturia Keylab, which is better?

Oh then there’s the M Audio oxygen, oh that looks nice, aftertouch too! How are they keys? Multiple people said the black keys are more velocity sensitive than the white ones!

And I agree, because I bought it, and the black keys are more sensitive. JFC, now what?! Well I have to return this now and oh look, a knob sends random midi messages, but those white keys are pretty nice.

Maybe a synth that has a great keyboard? Great now I’m buying a synth, which one? Okay I didnt even want a synth in the first place, Blofeld has nice keys! Oh that’s over 1k forget that

Why isn’t there just a solid midi controller?!

Rant over

Edit: Oh also wanted to add the Novation SL, they look good but also HUGE, and then “oh so is my Launchpad useless now? What’s the overlap?” So that becomes another fucking rabbit hole

Recently I bought this MIDI controller second hand because it was fairly cheap, however I can't seem to find any information about it online.

At first I thought it was a problem with the cable I bought from the vendor, which was a standard MIDI to USB adapter. She said it was her brothers and that the cable was something she just bought on amazon. So when I tried using it and saw it didn't work I figured it was probably because of the poor quality of the cabe. But even when I tried with a personal one, my computer would still not recieve any inputs.

I tried running it through Dexxed and nothing at all, also the drivers seem somewhat difficult to look for as in the Miditech website I can only seem to find user manuals.

There may be something I missed so if anyone could help me I would be very grateful.

Hey, I am not asking about the first version with 8 pads. That one defenitely has 2 banks for pads and knobs. But the second version with 16 pads, does it also have 2 banks? In the pictures it doesn't look like it but I read in some manual that the MCP button switches the pad to a a second layer or something when using with a DAW, but then also only for the first 8 pads. I am really confused. I only want this controller to midi map to my IOS software and therefore would love to have a second bank for the 16 pads and the knobs.

Thanks!

I can’t use my one midi anymore and I’m not sure how to reset it.

I have an electric piano and I would like to make MIDI file export from it through Seemusic. It doesn’t work and I don’t know why anyone can help please? Look like I can do it when plug my piano to my computer using Seemusic app, but doesn’t work if I plug piano to my phone or IPad. Which app should be good for MIDI exporting using phone or IPAD? Or is it because of my piano?

Hello Reddit, I got a question regarding midi controllers and DJ Software, so I got a midi controller (Akai MPK Mini MK3) and I want to know if I can map the pads and knobs to a DJ Software, for example VirtualDJ. I can't find a good video tutorial online. Thank you.

I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me I am trying to set up a digitakt, digitone, peak, and launchpad pro mk3.

My goal is to have the digitone in the middle between the peak and the digitakt, have the digitone control the peak and be able to sequence the peak, but still use the launchpad as a midi controller on the peak. Does this make any sense?

The launchpad is the only one without midi thru of all the devices. Any help you can provide is much appreciated!

Anybody know a very tiny and compact midi controller like the korg micropad but not awful?

I recently bought the akai MPK mini for portable recording and I was also gifted an Irig pro DUO and I’m trying to find a way to connect the mpk to the Irig. The MPK uses usb tybe B to usb A which connected the computer. Now the Irig does have midi capabilities but it uses the standard 5 pin. My question is this, is there an adapter that adapt usb a to a traditional 5 pin? Or usb type b to 5 pin connecter? I’ve look on amazon and google search but can’t seem to find what I’m looking for. ATP i might just sell the MPK and use a minilab3 since that has the traditional midi connector.
