Best Midi Recording Studio Keyboard Under 600

Best affordable piano midi keyboard period .

I have only two inputs left on my audio interface for keyboards. I have two keyboards. This little beauty lets me play and record either. The real beauty comes from switching to A for my sweetening keyboard while using keyboard B as the MIDI master. That way I can record the audio from my sweetening keyboard with the Sescom switch set to A at the same time as recording several MIDI sound modules that are outputting the sounds from they synths my B (MIDI master) keyboard is playing through. By recording the MIDI, I can go back and run this MIDI recording into keyboard B to record its sound (that had to be left out due to the switch being in the A position for the initial recording. Simply marvelous! This little switch has made a HUGE difference.

I purchased this desk to use in my music production studio. I have a 61 key midi keyboard that fits perfectly on it. My computer monitor and 6 studio monitors fit perfectly on the top shelf. The desk is stable and comfortable to sit at. For the price you can't beat it.

Needed to move to a full sized keyboard for studio midi work only. Got this recommendation from the folks at B and H and it is truly like playing a regular piano.

A good Midi interface device to connect the keyboard with the PC through MIDI ports and use Midi apps.

This is a deceptive little synth, it is not a toy and can be used in a Musicians rig, but it's main short coming is the touch keyboard, so if you got a Midi keyboard, use it (Note: you will need a Type A 1/8 Midi adapter cable to utilize the midi capability) the Korg software is pretty good to access the deeper functions, but the sound is the big deal here, it sounds beefy & the built in effects are top notch, and with full midi support you will be using this with your DAW, drum machines etc. it is fun and easy to put together, really worth the price.

I have a home recording studio and there is a synth (Korg 01/WFD from the 1990’s) that always gives me a slight hum noise. The humming is faintly low but enough to bother me, especially if I’m recording; for example, if I’m just playing the piano nice and mellow, instead of an entire sequencer with multi tracks in a song, I can still hear that hum. I have a small Mackie mixer, nothing fancy, but it’s very sonically clean as far as audio output. Connecting the XIT-600 in the mixer’s XLR output solved that annoyance on that particular scenario and now that hum background noise is gone and took care of 1 channel. I only have one of these. Now I need to get a second XIT-600 as I record in Stereo. I also recorded / tested the output audio from my mixer to a Tascam DR100 MKII and a professional field recorder such as the Sound Devices Mix Pre-6, which is an unit that is utilized by many boom operators to record audio in many movies. If you deal with more pronounced hum or ground looping issues, since I can’t reproduce that kind of nightmare in my studio, I can’t comment on that.  Like I said, for reasonable, typical humming issues, the XIT-600 will do just fine. But loud humming, bad cables or what have you, it could be anything causing that hum.  If the XIT-600 doesn't solve the problem, you might have to get something bigger and more expensive perhaps. This one worked for my needs. [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review].

I use it as a MIDI keyboard, a sequencer, an arpeggiator, and then do all of that with the CV too. It's great.

If you are looking for this cable, then you found the right one. Guessing you need to hook up a printer or old midi keyboard.

This is my first MIDI keyboard and so far is all I need. Full sized keys and not expensive at all ;)
