Looking for quality 88 key controller

[Easto]

Hello,

Although I'm not a pianist by trade I do know how to play and have been looking for a Midi controller to attach to my Daw. I'd like to stay away from any bottom feeders but I also don't need "top of the line". I'd like 88 keys (no internal sounds needed) that feel good and will not be breaking on me a year down the road.

I guess I should have mentioned that my budget is <$900.00

There have been some excellent suggestions made in this forum. Do a search on controllers. A simple scan of this forum would have shown the thread

Someone has dug up a new controller that looks really promising. That will show up in your search too.

Extreemely capable, extreemely UN-user friendly.

M-Audio KeyStation Pro 88. Massive controller. Under $500.00. Only problem, you have to take 3 years of MIDI classes to learn how to use it.

We got a Yamaha P-60 digital piano, ~$600.

another vote for Yamaha P-60
if u want a yamaha style grande piano action
all the others without sounds dont have real piano feel (not yet... maybe soon... someone will make one)

M-Audio Keystation 88. It has a ton of faders and sliders that can be used as a remote midi controller for the DAW. I use it to mix my tracks. It's under $500.00 too.
