looking for a midi controller $400 or under with 49 keys or less that weighs less than 10 pounds. I tried the Arturia Keylab Essential MKIII and in terms of the features it promised, its size, and its weight, it was perfect, but the pads and keys were cheap and unresponsive. I would sacrifice the pads, knobs, faders, and DAW buttons just for small size and a decent keybed. The keys do not have to be weighted but they need to at least trigger correctly and feel good to play. Plebbitors say
>every midi controller less than $400 sucks, so buy this fuckhuge 88 key workstation that weights a gorillion pounds instead
but I want small form factor (as i said, around the size of a 49 key) keyboard that can rest comfortably on my lap
