CW newbie seeks controller

[eireguitar]

Hello all....Brand new to CakeWalk and looking for a compatible MIDI controller. I have an electric keyboard with a MIDI input so I don't need a controller with tons of keys. Classically trained; style incorporates rock, folk and Celtic.  I'm really not sure how many keys I need but want to keep it under $150. Suggestions?

For purely CC/MIDI control (no notes played) try Korg nanoKONTROL2 MIDI Control Surface, $80 USD.

I’ve been happy with my Native instruments  A49  control keyboard.  The cheaper, non lite version.  8 knobs and a nice keyboard feel.  49 keys is a minimum.  Less than $200 when I got mine.  Good quality.  I had a Novation 25 and keys went dead.  Doesn’t mean they all do but just passing that along.  They fixed it when I wrote directly to them.  But I had to send the unit to Austin.

Are you using my integration with it? I just try to understand if someone does ?

No.  I use it mainly as a keyboard.   Sorry.  I’ll look into your integration when I get some time.  Eight knobs gone to waste.
