The third iteration of Novation’s Launchkey Mini series is primed for Ableton Live, but can easily be mapped to other DAWs. There are also DAW controls spanning transport, track navigation controls and more that are also MIDI-assignable.Ĭonnectivity: USB, 1 x 1/8″ (sustain pedal) Novation Launchkey Mini Mk3 The Part Two performance feature lets you momentarily transpose the keyboard up or down an octave at the push of a button.

This two-octave keyboard controller features velocity sensitive mini keys and a modulation joystick that can be assigned with MIDI. It also has a clever workaround to moving through more octaves than you see on its hardware. Nektar’s Impact GX Mini may be small, but its customisable controls make it easy to adapt to your workflow. And it comes at a price point that should be wallet-friendly for most.Ĭonnectivity: USB, 1 x 1/4” (sustain pedal) Nektar Impact GX Mini The wide note range of the controller, combined with smart chord and scale features make the Oxygen MKV 61 an excellent tool for composition. It also supplies eight backlit pads, eight knobs and nine faders to bolster its production capabilities. While they won’t provide an authentic piano feel, they are well-suited to performing percussive sounds such as drums and synth stabs. The five-octave keyboard features non-weighted keys can be seen as benefit or drawback depending on what your needs are.

The update brings new DAW integration, Smart Chord/Scale and an arpeggiator, all while keeping things in a light and robust build.

It also comes bundled with some very useful software: Pro Tools First and Ableton Live Lite DAWs MPC Beats and five virtual instruments from AIR Music, as well as a selection of sample packs. While you won’t find features such as aftertouch or performance pads onboard, M-Audio was thoughtful enough to include DAW controls – which can be remapped – so you won’t have to reach over to the keyboard and mouse every time you want to lay down a take. The Keystation 88 is surely one of the most affordable ways to get your hands on an 88-key controller, and it comes complete with full-sized, semi-weighted keys to boot.

Although all of the controllers on this list have a keyboard at their heart, many also offer assignable pads, knobs and sliders in abundance with an appealing price tag.

Fortunately, you can get some affordable MIDI keyboard controllers that will give you more than just some extra notes. Sure, all you need to make music now is a laptop and a DAW, but there may come a time when keys ‘A’ through to ‘ ’ on your laptop keyboard feel like a barrier to your burgeoning creativity.
