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? -------------------- Ionas - iMac, Behringer Eurorack and an old, worn guitar... 'Don't judge a book by it's contents...'

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.

I use Oxygen 8 by M-Audio and really like it for its size, and flexibility. -------------------- ---------------------------------------- <span style='font-size:18pt;line-height:100%'>Synthetic Tone</span> Click above for totally original electronic music, art, & photos.

If your looking for 88 weighted keys you will have to spend some green. But there are some out there for $130 or less. -------------------- BING BING BLEEP ERRRRRRR[I]
