Working with LMMS now for a year.
My next step would be to connect a MIDI keyboard.
When I'm brousing to find one, manufacturers don't seem to list whether their product is compatible with LMMS.
Can anyone recommend a affordable (upto 400 euro) midi keyboard with at least 36 keys that works on LMMS.
Many Thanks!

I reccomend using Coolsoft MIDI Mapper if the device isn't recognized. I have an AKAI MPK mini 3 and with that program, it works fine.

I find that any USB keyboard listed as "USB Class Compliant" will work right away without having to install anything.
The nice thing about USB Class Compliant things is that they work on MacOS, and Windows, and Linux systems. (everything modern works because the drivers are built into the modern operating systems).

Not all manufacturers print "USB Class Compliant" on the box or in the notes, so you might have to check the web.
