Hey guys!
So I've been getting into synth sounds recently to try and experiment with using them creativity with guitar and I have run into a dilemma:
Right now I am loading the VSTs into my DAW and creating a MIDI item and keying everything in from the DAW - which is proving to be slow and not as hands on - so I am thinking it's time for a starter MIDI controller.
My question is: Do I spend $150-$200 on a MIDI controller or do I spend $35 and get a MIDI to USB cable and use my Casio 88 Key Digital piano instead?
The Casio would be great because it has a full range with touch sensitivity (not sure if this is the right term - the harder you hit the note the louder it is). So this would work great with any piano and string type synths.
On the other hand a midi controller has various knobs, sliders and wheels that go hand in hand with synth sounds.
I guess both would be a good investment, I'm just not sure which one to use first.
Thanks!
