Lately, I have been playing around with LMMS (a free audio workstation software), and it's actually fun. It also allows to connect a MIDI keyboard to input notes (instead of clicking them on the "piano roll"), and I'm considering to get one. However, I'm entirely clueless.
I looked at eBay and there is a very large variety of different models in a wide price range. Various are just "dumb" controllers without own speakers and such, and others are "proper" keyboards. This may be an opportunity to learn some basic keyboard playing, but since I don't know if it's something I would stick with, I'd ideally like to spend $200 or less.
Would this be enough to get something decent that works on its own but also as a "controller" (and if so, what specs do I need to be mindful of?) or should I just go with a MIDI controller? (Those seem to be around $70 on average for 49-keys models -- is there anything that's import to check on?).
Thanks for any thoughts!
