The 8 best budget MIDI controller keyboards




I use a JP8000 (pictured above) as my main keyboard/controller in the studio but I need a compact controller for my portable setup. So I started doing some research online and found this article on MusicRadar. They have a list of 8 keyboards that fit the bill. I'm familiar with some of them and they are all under $150. Click the names to read the reviews on each keyboard.


1.  M-Audio Keystation Mini 32




2. Korg microKey



3. Acorn Instruments Masterkey 49


4. Alesis Q25


5. Behringer U-Control UMA25S



6. Line 6 Mobile Keys


7. IK Multimedia iRig Keys



8. Akai MPK Mini
