This depends, of course, on exactly what your needs are, but personally, these are the features that I would look for in a MIDI controller (My controller choice is at the end of the post if you want to skip right to it): 1. Most importantly, full-size keys with a natural weighting and sensitivity, and at least 61 keys. A full 88 keys may pose a size problem for those with limited room or desk space. 2. Not absolutely necessary, basic note-editing controls such as pitch bending are a plus. 3. Jacks for sustain and/or damper pedals. 4. No sound-generation functionality. A MIDI setup will include synthesizers and/or samplers in either hardware or software, making any such capabilities on a MIDI controller redundant and a waste of money. All things considered, I believe the Fatar controllers are ideal, although I believe that their MIDI controllers are now branded under the StudioLogic name.
