Hi! Sorry to bother you with a question you probably get pretty often (if it is I'm very sorry), but what MIDI keyboards would you recommend that are cheap and small. I was thinking of saving up for a Minilab MK2 since it's only $50 and comes with free software, but I would appreciate an opinion from a professional musician that probably keeps a giant catalogue in the back of her head. Sorry to bother you-

When it comes to cost, those korg microkey controllers are indispensable.

ARTICLE 1189. When the conditions have been imposed with the intention of suspending the efficacy of an obligation to give, the following rules shall be observed in case of the improvement, loss or deterioration of the thing during the pendency of the condition:
(1) If the thing is lost without the fault of the debtor, the obligation shall be extinguished;
(2) If the thing is lost through the fault of the debtor, he shall be obliged to pay damages; it is understood that the thing is lost when it perishes, or goes out of commerce, or disappears in such a way that its existence is unknown or it cannot be recovered;
(3) When the thing deteriorates without the fault of the debtor, the impairment is to be borne by the creditor;
(4) If it deteriorates through the fault of the debtor, the creditor may choose between the rescission of the obligation and its fulfillment, with indemnity for damages in either case;
(5) If the thing is improved by its nature, or by time, the improvement shall inure to the benefit of the creditor;
(6) If it is improved at the expense of the debtor, he shall have no other right than that granted to the usufructuary.
The rules in Article 1189 refer to obligations to give a determinate thing which is subject to a suspensive condition. Usufruct gives a right to enjoy the property of another with the obligation of preserving its form and substance, unless the title constituting it or the law provides otherwise.
SPOUSES ALEXANDER AND JULIE LAM, DOING BUSINESS UNDER THE NAME AND STYLE "COLORKWIK LABORATORIES" AND "COLORKWIK PHOTO SUPPLY", PETITIONERS, VS. KODAK PHILIPPINES, LTD., RESPONDENT.
G.R. No. 167615, January 11, 2016
FACTS
On January 8, 1992, the Lam Spouses and Kodak Philippines, Ltd. entered into an agreement for the sale of three (3) units of the Kodak Minilab System 22XL (Minilab Equipment) in the amount of 1.796M per unit for the proposed outlets in Rizal Avenue (Manila); Tagum (Davao del Norte); and in Cotabato City.
On January 15, 1992, Kodak Philippines, Ltd. delivered one (1) unit of the Minilab Equipment in Tagum, Davao Province. The delivered unit was installed by Noritsu representatives on March 9, 1992. The Lam Spouses issued postdated checks amounting to P35,000.00 each for 12 months as payment for the first delivered unit, with the first check due on March 31, 1992.
Kodak Philippines, Ltd. canceled the sale and demanded that the Lam Spouses return the unit it delivered together with its accessories. The Lam Spouses ignored the demand but also rescinded the contract through the letter dated November 18, 1992 on account of Kodak Philippines, Ltd.'s failure to deliver the two (2) remaining Minilab Equipment units.
ISSUE
Whether the breach entitled them to the remedy of rescission and damages under Article 1191 of the New Civil Code.
HELD
The breach committed by petitioners was the nonperformance of a reciprocal obligation, not a violation of the terms and conditions of the mortgage contract. Therefore, the automatic rescission and forfeiture of payment clauses stipulated in the contract does not apply.
When a party fails to comply with his or her obligation, the other party's right to resolve the contract is triggered. The resolution immediately produces legal effects if the non-performing party does not question the resolution. Court intervention only becomes necessary when the party who allegedly failed to comply with his or her obligation disputes the resolution of the contract. Since both parties in this case have exercised their right to resolve under Article 1191, there is no need for a judicial decree before the resolution produces effects.
test day! woke up, breakfast, chem. almost made tea in the dorm, then got scared because I thought it was too loud (T has since assured me that's not the case, will attempt again). went back to the dorm, meant to do some last minute revision/studying, never did. went to stats (minilab) then to bio. walked out after 20 minutes, that was the easiest test I've ever taken (yay studying!). waited for C, then went to philosophy. never did the question assignment - oh well, it's only a couple points. dinner, then dorm for homework and the gym (I hate going at 8pm but I can't go in between chem and stats because I don't want to be stinky or wet for stats and I can't go after philosophy because I'm right next to the cafeteria and I'm hungry and I can't go after I eat because I'm full). came back, went to bed way too late
In the realm of music production, MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) keyboards are indispensable tools that bridge the tactile experience of performance with the boundless potential of digital sound manipulation. The market offers a plethora of MIDI keyboards, each with unique features tailored to various production needs and skill levels. This technical overview will focus on key attributes that distinguish the best MIDI keyboards for comprehensive studio use.
Firstly, key action and response are paramount. The finest MIDI keyboards offer a range of keybed types, such as weighted hammer action for pianists seeking an authentic acoustic piano feel, or semi-weighted and synth-action keys for those desiring a lighter touch. Premium models, like the Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S88 MK2, provide aftertouch functionality, allowing additional expression through pressure sensitivity.
Secondly, integration capabilities are a critical factor. Top tier MIDI keyboards seamlessly integrate with popular Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) like Ableton Live, Logic Pro, and FL Studio. This integration often extends to automatic mapping of knobs, faders, and buttons to software parameters, streamlining the production workflow. Devices such as the Novation Launchkey series excel in this area, offering deep DAW control alongside intuitive performance features.
The addition of assignable controls including knobs, sliders, and pads, enhances the functionality of a MIDI keyboard. The Akai Professional MPK249 is a notable example, equipped with 16 MPC-style pads, 8 knobs, and 8 faders, all assignable, fostering a dynamic and interactive production environment.
Portability is another consideration, especially for producers on the move. Compact models like the Arturia MiniLab MkII balance portability with functionality, offering a comprehensive suite of controls and a slim profile for easy transportation.
In conclusion, the best MIDI keyboards are those that combine responsive keybeds, extensive DAW integration, versatile controls, and portability. These attributes ensure they cater to the nuanced demands of modern music production, allowing producers to realize their creative visions with precision and ease.
