Are there any good midi keyboards [in the lower price ranges] with usb ports? The few keyboards I've found with usb midi support are all real synths, with all too real price tags...

Any particular you would care to recommend?

Do you mean keyboards that have spare USB ports onboard? Or just keyboards that connect to your Mac via USB? If it's the latter, M-Audio do several, as do Edirol/Roland and Evolution. In fact, Evolution have just released a new range with controller knobs on - the 361C has 61 keys, 16 controllers and costs around £130, for instance. Sorry if this wasn't what you wanted. cool.gif

you can go to MusiciansFriend.com... and if you look in the midi/keyboard section and then click on "controllers" over in the left margin... you will find a good selection of USB midi keyboards like mentioned above by rickenbacker at good prices. I use Oxygen 8 by M-Audio and really like it for its size, and flexibility. wink.gif

there are quite a few midi keyboards with usb. It all depends on what you want. If your looking for 88 weighted keys you will have to spend some green. But there are some out there for $130 or less.
