Hello. I'm looking forward to buying new studio equipment to get stuff done quicker and better. I am wondering what would be the better choice between Keystation 49 + MPD218 or MPK225 by itself. If you think you have a better idea, go ahead and tell me! Thanks!

one, electronic forum is probably a better place to post this and get informed answers

two, you will want to give a lot more detail about your working methods to get sound advice here....

for instance, I can't make electronic music without my Yamaha P-85 as a full size controller for my real and virtual instruments, but I need all the keys and I need the realistic weighting and aftertouch because I legitimately play the piano, but if I didn't I could be happy with a lot less keys or maybe none at all....

my advice is to get as much physical control of software as possible, maximum knobs, faders, pads and keys with the best feel possible, if it takes 2 controllers to do that then fine...
