I need your advice ...
I've been using an M-audio Oxygen Mk4 61 since 2015 and the keys are of poor quality.
I'm not a professional but I can play the piano so I want a 61-key midi controller keyboard to use with Bitwig Studio.
For my budget I found the recent models M-audio Oxygen Pro 61 and Novation Launchkey Mk3 61.
They say...
Oxigen Pro 61 - semi-weighted action and channel aftertouch
Launchkey Mk3 61 - velocity sensitive keys
The remaining specifications are similar.
Can someone who has tried any of these MIDI keyboards give me some tips?
Thanks-

Personally I would stay away from the launchkey, I made that mistake, the usb port is rubbish, cable wobbles arond and the device cuts out, software is rubbish and gets lost sometimes, I found a ten year old m-audio midi controller in a pawn shop for 100 buck, it works perfectly
Save up for more expensive stuff or buy older stuff from ebay .There are worlds between old and new builds in same price range .The old stuff has more quality .

Thanks for your tips.
After some research I think I will opt for Studiologic SL73 Studio due to the keybed with FATAR technology (TP/100LR).
I'm just having doubts about its integration with Bitwig Studio ...- Interesting x 1

Tp/100LR is sluggish. Your really need to cough some money to get a semi-decent piano keyboard. Better visit a music store and find something suitable to your liking, you don't really have much choice - most synth companies use cheap Fatar or Chinese stuff. Casio, Roland and Yamaha, and Kawai make their own keybeds, but they are overpriced.
Here is a list of controllers that work in Bitwig - //www.mossgrabers.de/Software/Bitwig/Bitwig.html
The sad part is that Bitwig users rely on this third party guy while the greedy company even requires kind of pseudo subscription, wow.- Useful x 1
