I need a master keyboard for use with Reason 4.0

Price range should be between $200-$800, looking for a good, versatile, and reliable MIDI keyboard. I've looked at Musicians Friend already, couple models in mind, but seeing as how this is a very new area for me I'd like your opinions on what I should get. If you're too lazy to get specific with models, just post a brand you know is good, from personal experience only please.

Here's one I'm currently looking at : CME UF-60 61-Key Master Keyboard MIDI Controller

Thoughts?

Thanks I'll check them out. How many keys do you reccomend? I could see myself making use of 61, but is that practical or no?

Did you try american musical supply? Awesome ship time.

If you are actually playing piano/keys then it is. If you only wanna make beats and such, 61 is not necessary, but useful.

I'd want to include piano pieces in my work, so I should probably get it. Better to have it and not use it then to not have it and want it at some point later



Will visit in a minute.



I'll check em out. I've always used Musicians Friend though, never had a problem with them.



Cany anyone reccomend me some more models? I'm really, really new to this stuff and just need a little insight on what brands are of high quality and the like.
