BEST 61 Key MIDI Keyboards // Budget 61 Key Keyboards Under $300

In this video I share what I think are the best midi keyboard controllers for a budget. These are all 61 key keyboards under $300. If you're a new producer looking to upgrade to a full sized midi controller. These 61 key models are a great choice! Whether you're an ableton live, fl studio, pro tools, native instruments, bitwig, sonar, or studio one user - you're sure to find a keyboard that pairs well with your setup.

Having a good midi controller keyboard is a crucial part of any home studio setup. I personally recommend at least 49 or 61 keys as anything less than that can be really limiting, especially if you've ever taken piano lessons.

Please let me know if you have any comments or questions! If you’re looking for 49 key keyboards, check out my video: BEST 49 Key MIDI Keyboards // Budget 49 Key Keyboards Under $230

I'm just waiting for my next paycheck so I can buy my first MIDI Controller Keyboard, and it will be the M-Audio Oxygen Pro 61 for sure! I was already into this keyboard even before I saw your video, but now I know for sure this will be a great choice! Thanks a lot!

I wish you would have mentioned after touch

[sandc]

i'm not a pianist. i'm a composer. but i tire of getting up going to my piano playing some ideas and then going back to my laptop. i want something i can listen to while at my workstation, and then use the same keyboard to enter into musescore or whatever DAW i have up and running. i don't need 1000s of voices, or auto drum rhythms, or auto chords. i just need something with speakers and that i can connect to my laptop. 88 keys not necessary. any recomms...?

[Faterna.]

which of these has like a synth feel to it

[rafaelcarabulea]

Wich midi piano has an experience like a realistic piano ? Not for studio. Just to play piano at home but im not a begginer player .

[arbous]

If you want to prioritize the keybed and key feel and response, what are number 1 to number 4 on this list? I was going to buy Nektar T6 since I’m a Pro Tools guy not Ableton, but I see some negative signals from users, some say keys are too heavy ie lower speed, some say quality control issues, some say Nektar support is low or they don’t keep updating the firmware, software (Nektarine), etc. I also don’t have any idea of how GXP61 feels and behaves for MIDI control in comparison to T6. If visual feedback of Nektarine makes up for not having display, and the keybed is good in GXP, then would combination of GXP and a generic knobs/faders like LaunchControl would be as good as having T6?

Love from India....
Thank you for information

[MattStevens]

Thank you for this rundown. May I ask Which would you pick between the m-audio oxygen pro 61 vs Arturia Keylab Essential 61 when it comes to the keybed? (feel and sensitivity) Thanks!

[gerotone]

Hello Jack, how do you connect M-Audio Axiom to Logic to use all its DAW functions?

[angbui]

Hello im from Vietnamese . Oxygen pro 61 How does the keyboard feel? What level is it at? Synth, Semi-weighted, Fully weighted hammer ?

[johnsravindra]

Hello my dear🎉
Nekar impact lx61 or M-Audio better?

[maxboskeljon]

Yooo i was just about to check your channel for a new video. I actually have a question about keyboards. I have this old casio 61 key keyboard. It plays fine but its sounds are terrible and it only has audio out and pedal in, no midi. Is there anyway to still use it with a daw? Like a live audio to midi plugin?

[spoon]

Thank you for sharing, any of the keyboards that you displayed here play midi files or Mp3 from a thumb drive.

[wahed]

Which one has better and comfortable Drumpads? Oxygen pro or Launchkey??

[federicovalmassoni]

What about compatibility with iPhone lighting port? Considering in using iPhone with sound software generator...

[HowYouMove]

I was to buy the M-Audio Key Station MK3 which doesn’t have a built in Arpeggiator would I still be able to play arpeggios and a Vinyl Sample sound from my turntable into a Daw if the DAW has its own Built in Arpeggiator?

[Jesang]

Any suggestions for a 61 Keyboard with Built In Speakers and MIDI compatibility?

[otusplay]

what about the Native Instruments Kontrol A61?

[vewilli]

Thanks a lot! I‘d just purchase one with Aftertouch. Which ones of these have Aftertouch? Nektar T6, M-Audio Oxygen Pro. Which of these two is better? I know that Nektar works very well with Logic … and from the optical point of view I like the AKAI MPK 61 best, but that‘s beyond your price range!
