From older models to newer models, these options can suit any producers’ needs: So today, we’re going to streamline that for you and show you our top picks for best MIDI keyboards in 2022. What’s the best MIDI keyboard for me? How much should I spend? Do I even need one? Then you start asking all sorts of questions. The problem is, in 2022 there are so many MIDI keyboards to choose from – it can be paralysing even attempting to start, let alone being halfway through the shopping process with 100’s of tabs open. It’s like a whole other realm of musical ideas is accessed through the action of playing notes in, as opposed to drawing them in on the MIDI editor. I'm sure I'm doing something totally boneheaded, but I can't figure it out.I still remember the day I got my first MIDI keyboard.Īlthough I had played a bit of piano here and there, I didn’t have one that worked with my computer.īut when I unboxed my M-Audio Axiom Pro 25 key MIDI for the first time, I felt like I had opened a new world… My old Axiom Pro 25Įither way, you can’t deny that even if they aren’t essential, MIDI keyboards are a trusty addition to the studio. But when I actually try to play them on the S49, it's always playing the violin, no matter which track I have selected.Ĭhanging out of the NI ecosystem altogether-say, selecting a track playing a bass instrument from another vendor-changes the sound being played, but the S49 display still shows the Kontakt "violin solo" as selected. Opening the Komplete Kontrol SW instrument on each DAW track shows it set to the appropriate sound-cello, viola, or violin. The S49 keeps playing whatever "voice" I'd most recently manually set, regardless of which track I've got selected in DAW.
I expect that as I move between them in the DAW, the sound being played by the S49 would change accordingly–going from the "cello" track to the "viola" track would hop me from "playing" the cello to "playing" the viola.īut it isn't happening. I have my four tracks set up-cello, viola, and two violins, each a separate software instrument instantiation of Komplete Kontrol. I'm playing a Komplete Kontrol S49 Mk 2, and Kontakt 2.7.2 is running as an AU plugin in Logic Pro X v 10.7.4 on a Mac mini M1 running under Rosetta. I'm building out a string quartet arrangement using the various solo voices within Kontakt.
