There are compelling arguments for big keyboards being better, with full-size keys and multiple octaves, but there are also situations where smaller mini keyboards can be best. Size does matter when it comes to MIDI keyboards, but not necessarily in the way you might think. In many of our other 10 Best features – most notably the best mini synths and the best studio monitors – we’ve made the point that bigger isn’t always better.
As the title suggests, here we pick ten of the best models currently available, covering everything from compact travel-friendly models through the best options for iPad to high-end models that could easily offer an all-in-one solution for all your production needs. MIDI keyboards used to be pretty basic, but the past decade has seen manufacturers offering models with assignable knobs and faders for controlling parameters, LCD screens for displaying values and even velocity-sensitive pads for creating beats. Though it’s quite possible make an entire track using just a mouse, there’s no substitute for a good MIDI keyboard controller, whether used just to write a melody or bassline or get deep into shaping the sounds themselves. While recent years have seen hardware synths make a major comeback, there are still plenty of producers out there quite happily working with soft synths and effects plugins.
