It is important for me to have drum pads but they don't necessarily have to be integrated on the keyboard. Some midi keyboards like M-Audio Oxygen 61 have pads on the board. My question is that are they any good or should I aim standalone pads?
Difference between playing on the regular typing keyboard and real piano model midi is huge. First thing is the feeling, it's all about the feeling! Secondly it's semi-weighted - if i press my piano note hard, then sound comes out harder/louder, when I press it softly, then it comes out softly/quieter. When you press notes on the computer keyboard then it doesn't matter how hard or softly you press, sound is still the same (At least in FL Studio). Why pianists use pianos when giving concerts? They can do it as-well with computer, using DAW, VST and computer keyboard...What is the point with buying a midi keyboard, do they somehow generate better synth sounds? Or is it to have the keyboard to play on so you can use it to create music better.
Because i cant see the logic of why it's good and useful if you can play on your normal computer keyboard.
