Akai MPK 61 Controller
This is a great controller. I like the key bed feels very tight. Built like a tank too.
Very versatile machine
As far as MIDI keyboards go this is a great keyboard. The only downside is the portability (I have no problem transporting it from place to place if needed but some people may because it's so large). Although you can get a smaller MPK if you want something more portable. I produce in my home and in my studio so that's where the portability becomes a factor. Anyone in the same situation may want to consider that when choosing the size. Other than that the MPKs are GREAT
An Amazing MIDI Keyboard
The only thing this keyboard is missing is an 88 key weighted model. Other than that everything on it works nice and smooth.
