Would this be a good MIDI controller for someone to start off who has no musical experience and will not be doing any live shows?

Yes, it would be perfect. But once you are ready for love shows, this would also be good.
2038808
Yes, and should you choose to do live performance aspects later this is a good choice. All in all, if you use Ableton Live 9, Push is the right choice.

Yes - absolutely. I'm recording all my midi parts in Logic using this - tracks like a dream. It just shows up as a midi device like any other and you can enable and play. Alternatively, load their triple play controller as a vst / au / whatever and get your fine-tuned setup loaded in your DAW, then call up your soft synths via that in Ableton.

Hello. No, this is a midi controller only. That is -- it's an input device only. Think of it as a computer keyboard, shaped like a piano. Without the computer, the keyboard is useless. So you'd need an iPhone or iPad or some sort of computer to read the MIDI and transform it into musical sounds, just like the buttons on a typing keyboard transform each keystroke into a specific letter, number, or symbol. I hope this helps. Mark

Technically yes but it just becomes a generic midi controller. You lose a lot of the features that prompt one to buy such a complex controller. There are better options at a lot cheaper prices for Live 8. Hope this helps.

No, because it only a midi controller. If you using a laptop with sound then yes

This set up will accommodate what you are looking to do but with a few possible difficulties. You can only have 16 tracks, which seems like a lot but they can add up fast. It also has no midi inputs. So if you were looking to run any midi in, which is nice for what you're looking for, you'd need a keyboard or other midi instrument with bus power, or you'd have to purchase a midi interface/preamp. You will also most likely find that the plug ins that come stock do not exactly meet every need you have, so you may have to purchase those as well. But for getting started, it's well equipped and very easy to learn, for the best price for the value. Hope that helps

A MIDI controller does not produce its own sounds; it primarily controls MIDI information only. For example, I have a Korg N5ex keyboard and software instruments on my computer. The MIDI controller can control the sounds on either the Korg keyboard or the computer software, but it does not have sounds of its own. I could not use the MIDI controller as a stand-alone performance keyboard. One of the advantages of using a MIDI controller is that if you already have the sounds on another keyboard, sound module, or instrument software, you may only need the keys. You can easily save hundreds, if not thousands of dollars for just buying the controller. A fairly decent 88-key MIDI controller can be had for around $500, whereas an 88-key workstation or digital synthesizer/piano can run you into thousands of dollars.

If you mean 'Will this work as a midi controller?' Then the answer is yes. But you will need a USB A to B device cable

Has to be through a computer or iPad. It's designed for DAWs like Ableton Live, Fruity Loops, Logic Pro, etc. This is a midi controller, not a traditional keyboard/synth.

Yes, as a basic controller. MIDI Out from Casio PX350 to MIDI in of any such equipped device should be no problem.

I believe it should work unless you need drivers. It needs to be a basic midi device the works when you just plug it in no software drivers.

It is a USB midi controller with built in sound.. Yes you can with the right software.. PS.. As a previous owner of the controller , I would not recommend buying this as it only works with certain software and the support is terrible. Choose a Numark controller which is the same price, better built and works with most software....

hello! well i do recommend this for beginners in synthezizers, this one is of the simple ones`, but attention! this is not a toy, is a very powerfull machine, with wich you can do a lot of things. so if you are looking for a simple keyboard this is not for you. instead if you want to experiment with sounds and start to understand synthtezizers, this is a good start. this instrument will fit very well beginners but also experts who know how to train this little monster!

Unless eDJing has the ability to midi map the controller it is unlikely. Unfortunately this controller has very few software options available to it (to my knowledge no tablets). Still at this price point it is a pretty good buy as a mac/windows software+hardware dj bundle. Buddy of mine plays legitimate gigs on his despite the small and unimpressive appearance -- thing packs a punch for its price and size

This is a MIDI keyboard controller only- you need some kind of sound module for it to actually make noise. I'm not familiar with Ableton, but my Impulse 61 is fantastic used with Reason and VST instruments in Reaper.

Yes you can but do some research on what you would need to hook up your midi. I sure hope that helped you.
