Many simple midi keyboards require little setting up and often come with standalone software to use them

Which one do you recondmend

I gotta be honest, all I wanted was a Keyboard that I could plug into my PC to actually work and play with it. I accidently ended up on a video comparing MIDI Keyboard not even knowing what those where and decided to buy one since really seemed to fullfill everything I wanted it to do BUT I still was wondering what the difference actually is and decided to check this video. Now I feel kinda dumb that I expected the MIDI to have an extra port to simply plug in a box to play music. The fact that the only real difference is the Standalone compability of an "Keyboard" to a MIDI however doesn't change anything for me but I'm still glad I made sure to actually figure out what I actually bought, even though I'm now wondering how the price for essentially just a "controller" isn't at half of what those cost but that atleast gives me hope that the quality is high enough

[@ZODDtheApostle]

I'm very late but I'm thinking what counts about the midi controller is things like velocity, action, key weight, functions, amount of keys, etc. Imagine a keyboard, it (most likely) has 88 keys, quite a bit of voices on it, hammer action, full weighted keys, and that should, for a good one, be maybe $400-$1000 maybe (I'm from the UK but dollars are a more useful reference). Digital pianos are essentially meant to capture the authentic feel of a normal piano, but for a cheaper price and with more functionality, like also being able to be used as a midi, however it lacks quite a bit. For midi controllers, you can use whatever instruments you want as long as you're connected to a midi output (computer), and it also has many functions to control the DAW of your choice, and being able to be the piano, drums, guitar, violin, as well being a lot cheaper ($70 - $600). So digital pianos are more authentic, but overall midi controllers are better due to their price, functionality and versatility.

Most midi controller comes with substantial software sythersizors and often the basic Daw its self. Most hardware sythersizors need to be connected to a PC anyway to get the best editing experience.

[@VegasD702]

Correct... I have a Casio keyboard... Non weighted keys and it was $100 some years back ... Has a USB port so I use it for midi/making beats as well as playing regular piano

[@woodyoulove-reynaldguibone6890]

I was just thinking about your topic this morning so I typed in "midi controller vs keyboard". So thanks, I found this vid. But to be honest I would still go to midi controller since it's cheap and, you know, it's just a controller. Easy to upgrade because of the price. AND I think we are wrong if we compare these two devices because it looks the same, but they functioned very differently. That's why there are keyboardist who uses 1 keyboard and 1 midi controller simultaneously. Although as you've mentioned that some keyboards are capable to act like midi controller. BUT why would I do that? It's not its main function. And I tried Juno DS61, it's hard to connect it to Ableton and if you can make a tutorial of Juno DS to Ableton connection, I would love to watch it. Because until now, I still don't know how to connect it. Back to my point. It is also unfair for a device which has no sound and compare it to something that has a sound. It's unfair. It's like you are comparing a water gun to a real gun. But if you say midi controller and pair it with ableton live vs keyboard alone, now we are talking. Because really the main machine is not the midi controller but the laptop and the software with your sound libraries. If I compare midicontroller+ableton vs keyboard, I would choose the first one because it has flexibilities. You can navigate your patches easily. It will open many posibilities. Actually so many pro's that you didn't mentioned if you use the midi controller and the software, primarily ableton live. Because you can do whatever you want with the software along with the midi controller. You can even program your effects that you don't have to touch anything but your keys and it will change it's patch automatically. For example, you have grandpiano+pads at the intro of the song, and you want it to change to synth at the chorus. You can program it and if you start playing, it will just change the patch automatically without touching your laptop. You can't do that on keyboard. If you change patch on keyboard in the middle of the song, you have to take off you hands from the keys and click preset buttons or whatever the name it is on you keyboard. On the spot changing patch on keyboard? You can do that also with the midi plus software. So I think that's the right way of comparing it. And instead of comparing them, I prefer to use them together in live performance. And by the way, price? Midi controller+high end laptop+software+sound libraries (because you have to purchase samples if you want a good quality sound or ready made patches) are much expensive than one keyboard LOL!

[@calebpromusician98]

getting a 88 key midi controller is better for piano players and getting a 61 or 49 key with the knobs pads and sliders is a better alternative for DJ people or people that do a lot of mixing and mastering within a digital audio workstation

I want to learn piano at home, do I need to buy a keyboard or a midi? And how many keys?

[@xDelta1377x]

@@amrkhaled4242 keyboard is the way to go and most of them come with built in speakers, but if later in you wanna mess around and try to produce music a midi is better. There are 49 to 61 key midi controllers but you need a pc or laptop in order to play sound out if it through different types of apps but mostly a DAW software where you can produce music and add external plugins and play any piano/synth or any other musical instrument with youe midi controller

I got the Roland JDXI. Kind of disappointed in the build quality for the rice, but it has great sound. It's the only reason I didn't return it. To be completely honest thought it's made cheaper than my cheap alesis vmini midi keyboard that I paid less than a 5th of the cost for. Oh well. Roland makes great sounds I'll give them that and this JDXI can create some phenomenal sounds.

[@paulnieuwkamp8067]

Keyboard or midi controller? For € 500 you can buy some nice stuff: - Yamaha PSR-E373 (219, Thomann), a great keyboard - Worlde Orca (~110, AliExpress), 8x8 launchpad with pressure sensing pads - Decent amount of left for an audio interface, mic and perhaps a second midi controller if you want knobs and faders You need a DAW as well, but most of them have a decent free version. I've only used PreSonus Studio One so I can't compare, but if you buy one of their audio interfaces (starting at ~90 though I'd spend the extra €20 and get one with line in, for versatility) you get the paid version (Studio One Artist) for free, and they even throw in Ableton Live Lite. And don't forget decent headphones! Though if you start from scratch you may need some cheaper options or choose between keyboard or midi controller. Swap the Yamaha for a Worlde Panda61 (175, Ali) and you should have enough budget for a decent headphone, though in that case I would probably save a little bit more money and buy in stages, as the Yamaha truly is impressive. You can swap the Orca for something else as well (Like the Novation Launchpad mk2 or mk3) but then you'll probably lose the velocity sensitivity, or the 8x8. All in all there is so much to choose from... It all depends on what you want to do. With a keyboard and a launchpad you're very flexible, but it may be overkill. Read reviews before you buy stuff, and if you can, don't always go for the cheapest option. It better to spend a bit more up front and enjoy it for a long time, than to skimp, get frustrated and either stop using it or buy the more expensive option anyway. It's difficult to figure out where you can go cheap, and where you shouldn't, which is where those reviews come in :)

[@snooker9773]

I think it depends on how serious you are with music production and performance. If you want total flexibility even in your learning stage, then midi controller is the way to go. A fast learner may soon find that a professional arranger no longer meets his needs because of limited upgrading or expansion capabilities.

Hola, ☺️👋 great video ! excuse my ignorance, but I want to get a keyboard or midi and DAW setup for my husband. He's an amateur musician, just as a hobby. He has a couple of guitars and a ukulele. He's always wanted a keyboard to make sort of synthy music. So I'm not looking to spend a massive amount, but something that he can play around with in terms of effects etc. A midi is quite a lot less than a proper keyboard , but then I would need to buy a DAW right ? For example , logic Pro for Mac, and that's 200 EU's right there, plus about another 100 for a midi. He is quite tech savvy ( unlike me 😅) so I think he would figure it out. But I'm not sure what is better? What do you think ? And can you please suggest a keyboard ? The one in your video sounds sick! I need help as there is so much out there and I have no knowledge! I bought him a record player a few years ago to replace his broken one and it was crap 🙈

I think it's safe to say if your into music production but don't need auto acompaniments you shoud go for a workstation/synthesizer keyboards as opposed to an arranger keyboard. I very nearly or could of made a grave error of spending thousands of pounds on a Yamaha Tyros 5 but in reality you would be paying for ton of features you don't use as well as the fact an arranger keyboard such as Tyros or Genos is not really designed for music production. VST instruments can get you similar if not better sound quality at a fraction of the cost. But the same rule applies to any high end keyboard you should only buy it if your 100% sure it's what you need.

what if you are a music producer

[@LittleRichard1988]

Either are a viable option although to be honest most producers nowadays use a midi controller and VST plugins. But if you do go for a keyboard a workstation/synthesizer type keyboard like Roland Fantom or Yamaha Montage is the sort of thing to go for rather than an arranger type keyboard such as Yamaha Genos or Korg PA-5X or any keyboard with auto accompaniments. There are plenty of videos on KZbin comparing the differences between arrangers and workstations and why a workstation/synthesizer is better for music production.
