I used to play piano when I was a kid and I want to get back into it now that I’m older. I think I have more patience for it now, but I don’t have room for a large keyboard. I’m thinking of a small midi keyboard like a oxygen pro mini or mpk mini plus. Do they need to be plugged into a computer to work or can I just connect headphones to them directly? I know these are stupid questions, I’m sortof new at all this. If they have to be connected to a computer, are they compatible with linux, are there any good linux apps to use with them? I don’t mind small keys, and I do prefer nice key feel over more midi features. I’m probably not gonna record anything.
Lemme know if this is the wrong place to ask this.
Thanks.
I think I misunderstood what you meant by not having room for a large keyboard as specifically not a full 88 key like a piano.
It’s cool. I wish Roland or Korg made a 61 key digital piano with weighted keys. I think I could maybe make room for that, but I’m not buying it anytime soon.
I think the 73 key Yamaha p-121 is the shortest keybed proper digital piano around. Though they are in the process of releasing their next generation of portable digital pianos so maybe they’ll eventually make a new shorter keybed in there somewhere.
That one looks good! thanks
