i am back btw

I'm back from norwescon, but am very much in the sleepy postcon fog, which is actually rather pleasant. I had a really nice time, and that's even given having got food poisoning on the way there and spending Thursday in my hotel room in extremely unpleasant pain. Today I'm cleaning up and fixing things and all that. More later.

Dear Lazyweb

Hey, Lazyweb! What do I need to know about cheap midi keyboards? (As in, midi keyboards to be used with a digital audio workstation, not home keyboards that happen to have midi in/out pairs.) I am strongly considering one for studio work because I can't afford, you know, an orchestra. I'm seeing things like Miditech used for <$100, is this any good?

eta: to clarify, I don't know anything about these, other than they exist. So what I need to know really starts with the list of things I need to know. ^_^

eta2: I think I want semi-weighted keys. I have a piano background and don't like standard low-end synth/keyboard keys. But am I wrong?
