Yeah, Silence, if you want an MPC, Nicole's [above post] your girl. She can get you a really damn good deal along with the best price on records.

I got an Oxygen 8 but I like the Axiom line a lot better because it has pads on it like an MPC. I got the 61 key version and it has presets for Reason as well as other programs. From what I can tell so far, I will rarely have to even use my mouse to control Reason and Logic once I get it configured properly.

best midi keyboard to use with readon is the korg kontrol 49 . read up on it youll agreee. im not sure if they have bigger models out now. i have the microl kontrol which is the small posratble version that came out 1st. wish i waited and got the kontrol 49.

16 pads that double as transport buttons and anything else u want. 8 sliders and encoders with lcd screns ubove each. built in presets and templates for every software out especialy reason. and from what i hear in reason 3.0 when you switch which module your midi controler is controling in reason in the program the functions and paramters change on the komntrol 49 automaticaly . cool

The more keys the better, imo get something like 5 oct. range and anything with midi works fine unless you want knobs n sliders ( whether thats relevant to you ).
