Well, I didn't want an M-Audio unit, but I grabbed this for $160 on the way home today and it actually does work the way it's supposed to. (I've never had much luck with MA stuff).
They had an 88-key version for ~$30 more, but it was just too damn big for my desk. This is the Keystation 61es:
No problems at all setting it up. Plugged it in, loaded the piano VST, it works. The two blue lights on the left side are octave up/down. Then I loaded up DKFH, and it worked out of the box with that as well.
I had the 88es and it was absolutely massive :lol: I traded someone for a 49e straight up (he needed bigger, I needed smaller, both were in mint shape, and their prices new aren't far enough apart to make it worth asking him for cash :lol: ) and I love it. Exactly as you described. You plug it in, it works. And they look really good next to the new iMacs :lol:
Do you know if you can disable the velocity on this thing? I'm tappin' out some drums and I'd rather let the software deal with it after the fact - I just want it to put ze beat in ze box for now.
Edit again, actually after the below edit: Looks like I need to disable the velocity curve in my software.
Edit: Also, you have a lot of black t-shirts dude. :lol:

:rofl: Yeah. I'm adding more non-black shirts lately, as well as most of those shirts are XL, and I'm down to an L now :yesway: But yeah, black shirts, mostly because a lot of them are band shirts and most band shirts are black :lol: Now I tend to only buy a black shirt if I just love the shirt.
