In case you need some more details, here is a full description and review of Midi Keyboard:
In this review of Midi Keyboard, I am going to show you both the good and the bad. After all, what is a review without some honesty, right? First, I have to tell you upfront that Midi Keyboard is my favorite choice. Sure, there are other products in the same class, but frankly, none of them as good (in terms of quality). I do have to say this though. some other products may be better, but based on quality and price, Midi Keyboard is the clear winner.
What is a good keyboard with midi connectivity?
I need a good keyboard that plays Midi Keyboard WITHOUT being connected to a computer, but ALSO serves as a midi keyboard... Full size would be really nice... But it needs to be at LEAST 61 keys. Any ideas? Thanks

No, you would need MIDI to communicate with your PC. There are pretty cheap MIDI keyboards out there though. There are some that are just one or two octaves, known as a MIDI controller. Even some of the “supermarket”keyboards feature MIDI. You could also try EBAY, for MIDI controller, and MIDI keyboard. Im sure you can come up with something for under $100. Then you can record with any D.A.W., use virtual synths. If you get one, google Kore Player. This is a great free professional VST synth, you can play all the sounds with your MIDI controller.Good Luck. Also, check my site, go to home digital recording
connect ur keyboard through the line in port of ur sound card and use a recording software such as sony sound forge or polderbits sound recorder. they are shareware and their cracks can be found at cracks.me.uk
You need to make sure that your MIDI settings are configured properly, ie both input and output (although it sounds like the input settings are correct already) and that the track is set to monitor the input.Beyond that, no idea.Saul
Make sure your midi keyboard is connected correctly on the IN/OUT side. You may have them reversed so your PC is sending a midi to your keyboard not from your keyboard to the PC. Also keep in mind midi isn’t audio. Its just a trigger message sent to trigger audio from some device whether its an existing preset midi bank or a sampler or sound module of some kind. Try your set up in FL Studio, Reason or even Logic Audio to get a feel for different midi environments and how the work with samplers. Most of these softwares will detect that you have a midi keyboard plugged in.Now if you are already recording in acid make sure your not recording two tracks at the same time. I knew someone who was doing this without knowing and it would record but it would sound very fluttered as if some type of flang effect was placed over the track. Make sure your latency settings work with your sound card as well. 10ms or less is aceceptable but even the best “gaming” sound card cannot handle this. If its too much clicky sounds or stuttering you need to set your latency high to 20ms or more. Experiment with different settings until you know you can push your PC to the limit without drop outs or distortions in your sound.And if you are just getting a hiss, make sure yo udont have a mic input being recorded. Some mics are actually a part of the monitor. Make sure you have this muted, unplugged, unarmed in your software or physically unplugged from your computer. You may be getting hiss from there.
well if you know that MIDI isn’t sound and you’re only sending MIDI into the computer, then you should know that what you are playing on the keyboard won’t travel through MIDI. You’ve basically explained why you are having a problem, but are you trying to trigger the sound of a software synth or are you trying to record the sound that comes from the keyboard? If that’s the case, read up a little more on what MIDI does, but just know that you CANNOT send sound over a MIDI cable.
Ivan – No you cannot. MIDI is a control signal, it is not audio in any form.If you had a MIDI card on your computer, you could use your computer as a controller for your keyboard. In other words, you could play your keyboard with your computer.
yes but you have to go to the apple store to get the softwear
A Midi Keyboard is any musical keyboard (controller, they are also called) that has a MIDI out on it, and can hook into your computer. You don’t necessarily need one for those programs, but it can make it easier to enter music that way.
Oh… Sounds more like a Master Thesis… Sorry, I’m not gonna dot all the Is, but at least you’ll have clearer idea.MIDI keyboard is just a controller, it has no sound banks of its own. Striking a key you can control some vital elements of the sound: volume, lenght, speed of release… But to actually produce sounds MIDI keyboard has to work in pair with an external synthesizer/sound bank/software: the keyboard guides that “brain” how the selected tone should sound.(To further misquide you – some latest MIDI keyboards have basic additional sound modules, so they can work as controllers or be connected to an amplifier to produce basic keyboard tones: piano, organs, etc.)It’s absolutely up to you whether to use MIDI keyboard or to save on it. Absolute majority of modern music software has so-called “piano rolls” – basically on-screen keyboards where you can add sounds with your computer keyboard or mouse. So, if you need only pad sounds or some screeches – just use that “piano roll”. If your keyboard parts look rather advanced or you want them to sound close to real playing – then you need a keyboard. But then you need to know how to play it…
)OF COURSE MIDI keyboard is capable of playing any tone you’ll assign to it, drums included. There are keyboard maps in most of the drum synths – it states which kind of drum is under which key. So yeah, you can do pretty amazing drum parts with just one hand. 
But, again, it all goes about realistic feeling – attack, release, reverbiration…My personal pick is Korg K-series: can be K-25, K-49 or K-61. Very good feel of the keys, absolute easiness to use, plus it comes with some nice software. By the way model K-61P has that additional basic sound module. I wouldn’t mind to have it as a gratitude for my answer.

The Axiom 61 (not the pro version, there’s really no need) has gone down in price and is great for sending MIDI. It has 61 keys so you aren’t squished by those 25 key models and it comes with assignable faders and knobs so you can easily control volume levels, panning, cutoff, and any number of effects. Korgs are sweet, but a bit pricey.
Follow the procedure as described in the manual: http://flstudio.image-line.com/help/html/app_wiz5.htmYou can disable the “Typing keyboard to Piano keyboard” on the recording panel, also as described in the manual, it’s #1 on this page: http://flstudio.image-line.com/help/html/panel_recording.htm
If you buy a MIDI keyboard with a USB port then you are good to go. Simply connect and use it.If you get a MIDI keyboard without USB then you’ll need a MIDI interface to connect between your MIDI ports on the keyboard and the USB port on your computer. You can get them starting at $30.The third option also requires an adapter cable. A MIDI to Gameport/MIDI (if your sound card has this port). Its a 15 pin port usually painted gold or grey.All the new MIDI keyboards these days come with an USB port. M-Audio are my favorite ones. The Axiom 61 being my favorite.
Midi only sends the notes and how to modify the sound when the note is played, it does not send any actual sound. To get sound from your midi keyboard into your computer it has to have an audio out port that you can plug into your computer’s audio in, unfortunately you can’t syncronize that way. You could reverse the midi connections and have your computer controll the keyboard, but it’s not easy (usually not even possible) to have the keyboard sync the computer AND the computer sync the keyboard at the same time, you usually end up with a feedback loop with notes going back and forth between the two forever.
I’ve tried a bunch, like Finale, Sibelius, Cakewalk… but the best I used was Midisoft Worship Studio. So far what made it stand up among the rest is the user-friendly interface. It’s so easy to create music sheets using this program.It’s not too much in terms of price but it gets the job done nice and smooth. I remember I got mine for like $25 (cheap because the box was like damaged).Happy to help.
yeah, you can use audio samples, and you could use the midi that comes with it anyways.But I prefer Ableton 5. =)

In Mixcraft, click on the File menu and select Preferences. In the Sound Device preferences, if you are using Wave, you can try reducing the number of buffers to 4 and the buffer size to 4096. Doing this could cause some playback problems, but you can always bump the buffers back up again.Another thing to try, if you don’t have the ASIO option, would be the generic ASIO driver called “ASIO4All:” http://www.asio4all.com/
A MIDI keyboard doesn’t actually transfer audio. So it wont be able to change anything on your vocals. Now you can use some sort of plugin to bring your vocals in as a SAMPLE and have your controller trigger that sample… OR a vocoder plugin.
