Found an Excellent MIDI Package

Hi All,
I've been looking for a MIDI keyboard I could connect to my computer and
sequence arrangements and record a vocal track on it. They all cost like
$200 or more, but I found one last night that has so many cool features that
I can't wait to get it. Too many to list, so check it out:

E:B:LC:US:1
And, it's under $50. Just thought I'd share that with you.

Beware Nanette

You will discover that you more often than not will get what you pay for. I
looked at this thing and the first thing that struck me was that it only had
10 note polyphony (gee I wish I could spell), that is it can only play 10
notes at a time. I have 28 not polyphany and that gives me trouble at
times. some voices like string quartet may use 4 polyphany just to play one
note with that voice.

And you really should have a 5 octave range if you plan on keying you music
in.

a keyboard that cost less then $200 is most like a toy and not a musical
instrument.

so... buyer beware Smile

Hi Goombah,
Point taken, but I figure for the price, I can learn, hopefully, then
upgrade later, as I really can't afford the "pro" equipment right now.
Plus, if I find I don't have the skill or talent to do what aspire to do
with it, then my nephew gets a new "toy". Thanks for your input, I
appreciate it.
