[RWP] Midi controller questions

[David P Shortland]

Hi & Greetings from the Land Down Under,

Unfortunately MIDI Controllers do not as a rule come with any synths, as far 
as my knowledge extends.

They are simply just a controller that will play either hardware synths & 
modules, and soft synths, found in your DAW.

The M-Audio Keystation in my opinion are good controllers. I have the 
Keystation Pro 88 and the plethora of knobs and control is quite extensive. 
However, not very accessable for us types...*smile*

To get your hands on a great free synth go to Tone2.com and look for 
FireBird.

Once you have it installed and you like it, let me know and I can send you 
some other Patch Banks.

Safe Prosperous & Happy New Year

Not really a reaper question - but I figured I'd ask here because
there are so many audio tech savvy people here.  I'm trying to learn
about midi  controllers because I want to save to buy one, and I found
one I am interested in - the m-audio keystation series (the 61 key
model to be specific)   But my question is, and sorry if this is a
terribly noobish question, but would that particular controller come
with ssynths included?  I don't have any synths currently, other than
the ones built into reaper, so I wanted to get a controller that came
with enough to start composing with.  Now the M-audio comes with
ableton light, so would that have synths that would be usable?  I
suppose this is also a general midi controller question, because every
controller I look at doesn't say if it has synths included with it or
not, but I see a lot of youtube demos where they are playing drum kits
on the controller and stuff and was a bit confused about  whether
those were built in, or packaged with the controller or not.
Thank you, and sorry for the noob question!

Crystal
