What's a good first keyboard for dubstep attempts?

[nopeda]

Hi,

I haven't even begun yet, but would like to fool around with trying to make some dubstep. For a keyboard in a price range I can handle I'm thinking of either a Behringer UMX 490 or an Oxygen 49. Do they both come with good manuals, and the software to at least make some sounds to play with?

I'd suggest getting an Axiom 49 or an Oxygen 49. Maybe even a 61.
But, like I said in your previous dubstep thread, if you're going to use Ableton, I'd invest in a controller first. Sweetwater has a nice sale on a scene launcher for $150, if you'll be running that (Akai Professional APC20 B-Stock | Sweetwater.com)
I use the Axiom 49, and I have a couple more examples of some of the dubstep I've made with just FL Studio/Ableton live, if you want to hear those as well...
