Hello guys! I'm looking for a midi controller for using in FL Studio (not only electro, I like to compose almost any kind of music), apart from using it as a little help tool studying some basic music theory. My budget is 100-200€ (around $225). Here are the ones I found interesting:
Alesis v49 - 126€: Seems like good quality, has some knobs and sliders to use for basic functions without being too bulky. Plus, I love the design.
Novation Launchkey 49 MKII - 169€: Cool design again. Has a lot of controls and nice pads, seems like a good option that will last a few years at least. The keys feel better than the others, from what I've been reading in this subreddit. Usually people agree this is one of the best, if not the best in this price range.
Nektar Impact LX49 - 148€: Nektar also seems like a pretty good brand for MIDI controllers, and this would be the equivalent to the Launchkey, with many controls and a decent keypad.
Nektar GX61 - 97,53€: This one is here just in case I decide I don't need many controls/pads and sacrifice them for more keys and a really good price. Probably I won't need them for a few months but then I'll miss them, am I right?
Considering all this info, which one would you choose and why? If you have one of these and got some new info or reviews, I'd be glad to read them. Have a good day!
