A-300 Pro

Way more than a keyboard! Cakewalk's A-300 PRO is one serious MIDI controller. Beyond having 32 velocity-sensitive keys for playing virtual instruments, this beast boasts a total of 45 assignable controls — knobs, buttons, sliders, and more. You can assign out the controls however you want, so you can get your hands on your mix, finger drum on the 8 Dynamic Pads, control recording start/stop/playback... whatever your workflow demands. If you're choosing your first MIDI controller, you can't go wrong with the A-300 PRO. The keys glide under your fingers, you've got controls for whatever you want, it works with your Mac or PC... and the A-300 PRO even comes with sweet software. Nice.
