I'm on the verge of purchasing a MIDI keyboard to learn how to play the piano.
My question is, how many keys do I need to learn? A piano has 88, so I lean towards that. But there are 76 key, 61 key and 49 key controllers. Which would be a good one to learn on for someone who has never played before? I found this software for OS X that will be available soon: http://www.floridamusicco.com/pianokeyboard.htm What other hardware will I need to connect the MIDI keyboard to my computer. I have(or will have as soon as it delivers) a dual 2Ghz G5 with 2GB of RAM Thanks in advance for the help with this. -Kirk

Both the Fatar and the StudioLogic have "full-size semi-weighted keys" according to their identical descriptions.
Is that weighted enough? The Korg Triton looks nice, but having never played the piano before I'd rather not spend that much money for something I may end up not using. The G5 and the monitors I will use daily. I work on a Mac all day long. -Kirk |
