Aloha,
I'm looking to acquire a MIDI keyboard controller, to use with GarageBand on my iMac. It doesn't need to be fancy, just functional for composing and arranging. I'd probably prefer the 25-key version, but know next to nothing about them.

Any recommendations/suggestions would be appreciated.

Mahalo,
Ben Sterling

The M Audio Axiom 25 is a cool little rig with lots of control, and Apple appears to recommend it for Garageband-- or at least they sell it. You can get it cheaper if you look around.

Here's a link so you can check it out:http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Axiom25.html

I use an Alesis Photon X-25 that I reviewed http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/digitalmedia/2006/12/20/three-cool-midi-controllers.htmlsometime ago. It is similar, but has a huge amount of control and a very cool little infra red dome controller for messing with your mind.
