I ordered an Arturia Mini Lab 3 MIDI keyboard controller that I'll pick up at the store tomorrow.
Seriously considering buying a Roland AIRA Compact S-1 sequencer/sound module.
I want to noodle on keys without needing software, There are lots of budget devices, unlike the '80s when MIDI stood for Money Is Definitely Imperative.
Controller + Module + Microfreak I already have is a total outlay of US $609. Plus tax, of course.
I can't place a value on a 20 year old Keystation 88es; it was the cheapest 88 key controller you could buy but an Alesis has that position now.
EDIT 6 mos no interest direct from my bank, no CC involved. I'm gonna have a desk covered in small MIDI devices.
