MAudio Radium 49 and midi controllers in general

[Aminimity]

I am in the market for a keyboard controller that doesnt need to be fancy, it just needs to be able to withstand some use for drum programing. Alot of retailers tell me they sell the shit out of MAudio controllers, however they weigh like six pounds and i am worried that it might not take the little abuse id give it?

heres the item i was looking at.

They Get The Job Done And Handle Regular Use Fine.

Thanks for the heads up. what about the key sensitivity are they stiff or loose keys?

I had a Radium 49 when I was just working off my computer.....its excellent....all of the controllers and knobs for FX and if not you can make your software learn to map it..

i bought a Korg MicroKorg and its built like a tank plus its brushed metal look is great.

It got 16 pads like an MPC.

go cop it.

i have radium 49, it works great. I use it with reason and all the knobs work fine. I wouldnt program drums with it but this is because i wouldnt program drums with any keyboard. If u looking for something thats kinna low budget yet work fine, get the radium.
