I'm looking for a cheap midi controller keyboard. I would primarily use this for playing around with music production through Reason 8. I will also occasionally use it to play synth sounds live through my laptop with Reason.
Requirements
Must have a USB output, no sound outputs are necessary.
Must have at least 49 keys. More would be nice but not necessary.
Must have a mod wheel and a pitch bend wheel separately. (my current controller has the two combined together, which is obnoxious to say the least)
Must have reprogrammable faders and knobs.
Preferences
USB-powered would be nice, but isn't a must.
Light, and easy to carry around.
Button pads would be nice.
Durable
I have no brand preferences. I would like to spend less money if possible. Ideal price would be under $100, but I could see myself going up to $150 if it was a significant improvement in quality.
