Sorry for the cross post, I need quick answers...
I need a good midi keyboard controller thats cheap (around $300 or less) for programming drums mainly. Velocity sensitivity is my main concern.
The Fatar SL-161 seems nice for a 61 key, at only $219 at 8thstreet.com.
The Roland PC-300 is also in my running...
As is the Roland A-37, which seems very nice.

Is there a standard RNC-of-the-keyboard world that is killer bang for the buck quality, or am I stuck in a void?
 
i don't have that specific Fatar keyboard, but I do have the sl-880.

it is absolutely great and the weighted keys lend well to creating other sounds besides piano-ish stuff.

when i first got it i didn't like using it for creating drums. i felt it was too hard to get double-kicks and stuff out of it... but i was very, very wrong. it makes the drums sounds more realistic because the weighted action keeps you honest.
 
I was actually think about buying the Prodykeys, but then I got a grip and forgot about it... ;)


I bought a used Korg M-1 and it's a great keyboard compared to my 36-key Midi-controller...
 
IMHO, the bang of the buck should be the kaysound MK4902. $50 at ebay.

I have a friend using it, and would love to have one myself.
 
Depends what you want and how much space you have. I have the Evolution 361C USB and its great...but I wish I had gone for the Oxygen instead. I don't need 5 octaves and the Oxygen is portable.

As ever, yer pays yer money and takes yer pick......:)
