Hey!

I need a good and cheap midi controller with 61 keys. Can anyone recommend me any good ones?

I will buy second hand.

all i can think of is Evolution MK-361 and MK-261.. the difference between the two is the usb connection on the 361..

Check ebay for a standard GM keyboard...you can get one dirt cheap

I picked up cheapie eebie Fatar and surprisingly it's not bad. If you don't mind spring loaded keys then theres not much difference in any of the cheaper midi controllers....but you will be paying a bit more for actual weighted keys.

I have 2 Fatar keyboards. They're both 88 keys and weighted.
Fatar does actually make a really nice 88 key controller, but the 61 key models are going to be synth action and not weighted.

Here's some more info:

61 keys,..."semi-weighted" WITH AFTERTOUCH. nice. its been discontinued but can be found at nice prices. it has been replaced by this unit which is almost identical:
