I am incredibly new to MIDI. In fact, I really don't have a clue what I'm doing yet. I have a Korg SP200 that has midi in and out. Is that all I need to control VST instruments? There is no switch on it that will mute the keyboards internal sounds.

just curious to what everyone's opinion would be. I was looking at the m-audio 88 weighted key midi controller/workstation for about $325, but have heard some complaints that the weighting on the keys tend to screw up after some use.

Im pretty new to the world of midi. i was just curious about the best way to hook up 2 midi controllers which will control two separate soft synths. I will be using this at live shows. I have a firebox which has one input and one output. would i need to get a midi usb interface?

Okay, so here is the situation. i am a novice, everyone keeps sending me links to random forums, and i can't get an exact answer.

I just bought a Pro Tools Mbox 2 system, a new laptop PC, and a midi controller. Im running my oxygen 8 through the usb port, my guitar through input 1, and my condenser through input two. Although I'm only trying to record guitar, my computer seems to only record my midi controller data, which is coming through the usb port.

I just bought a M-Audio Keystation 61es midi controller. I'm very new to the whole MIDI thing! Sorry! I have a Phonic Helix firewire mixer that came with Cubase LE. I'm using Windows XP. I can't seem to get the controller to do anything!

I'm looking for a good wind MIDI controller that resembles the fingering on a saxophone. What's a good one?

I have a MKB-300 Midi contoller keyboard that does not have a power cord. There are no specs on the back of the keyboard, and I don't have a book either. Does anyone know if there was a specific type of cable/power supply that came with the original? The power hookup on the back is square and has two prongs.

Hey, I'm just starting out and have a 3 part question:

I have an M-Audio O-Zone and am not too thrilled with it anymore :( ; no master volume, no endless knobs, weak pre-amp. I want to start recording vocals and electric guitar and wouldn't trust the built-in preamp. So:

For the people who already have keyboard workstations and have a DAW, how much does the midi controllers like Korg Kontrol or Behringer BDF2000 has helped?
