So I have had my eye on a few MIDI controllers on eBay for the past week or so, since M-Audio has been EXTREMELY slow with any sort of Leopard-friendly drivers. This morning I happened to glance at a few options on the Guitar Center (a.k.a. “Satan”) website at my options for MIDI controllers. One controller in particular was the Korg K61 USB MIDI controller, but it was priced at $179.99 — a bit much for what I can afford to pay for. I did have about $120 that I saved up for in my budget, so I was prepared to get the smaller 49-key version at $99.

Well, when I arrived at Guitar Center (a.k.a. “the music store that drives out any healthy competition”), I noticed that their K61 was on sale… we’re talking big time on sale…

…for $99.00…

So I bought the controller and will get a chance to mess with it over this long, holiday weekend. I’ll be sure to post my thoughts about how well it responds and interacts with GarageBand.

I’ve always been a huge fan of Korg keyboards. I know that I just can’t go wrong with them, and am almost certain I won’t have any compatibility problems with the latest operating system from Apple.
