Need a light 88 note keyboard to use with Mainstage for gigs?

Anyone got any ideas? I just bought a MPK88 Akai ...It weighs more than my bath! its a nice keyboard but too heavy if your gigging ...Anyone using a plastic affair that they would recommend? ....thanks Lou

I've got one of these. Yep, it's 88 keys, and light. That's its forte. That's it. So sliders or knobs to do anything useful with within MainStage. Oh yeah, if you plug in a volume pedal, it sends controller #7 instead of controller #11, which is the usual... no prob, when starting up, press a couple of keys and you're good to go. The band I play with decided to part ways with the sax guy, so I'll actually probably add another one of these so that I'll have 3 controllers during gigs. So, what's the other controller then? An M-Audio KeyStation Pro... Also 88 keys, action ***** too, but in a different kind of way. It's heavy, and like the 88ES, has no aftertouch by the way...
I don't actually think there's an alternative out there at this price point that's 88 keys... Maybe a blowout Yamaha KX8???? supposedly a better feel, though the pitch and mod wheels sit "above" the keys instead of "left of.."
good luck on this

    If you can log into the computer, go to the Mac App Store and purchase Mavericks under your AppleID.   Even though its free, they still consider it a purchase.
    If you are not able to log into your Mac you can try on a different Mac.  Once you purchase it, you can stop the download if you want.
    Once you do that then you should be able to reinstall via the Recovery HD

  • Help needed to upgrade to Yosemite : Apple ID not yet been used with App Store

    I get this popup dialog about "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the App Store"
    Clicking REVIEW does not help and restarting and re-signing in does not help with the case , I cannot get started with downloading the Yosemite OS X at all.
    What seems to be the trouble?
    Running 10.6.8, have already verified all the emails linked to this Apple ID.

    Log into yur account and review the payment information and then log out and then go back to the iTunes store.

    If you have never used the Apple ID to make purchases from iTunes or the Mac App Store you need to follow the steps to create an account with that Apple ID.

    You haven't opened an account with that Apple ID in iTunes. Open iTunes and log in. A dialog will appear in which you need to enter your Apple ID and/or password. Below it you should see a link for creating a new account. Click on that link to get started.

  • HT5622 the apple id says "this apple id has not yet been used with the itunes store "

    The apple id says me "this apple id has not yet been used with the itunes store" when i tried to download anything using app store.

    you need to review the account and verify it, including payment method. If there's no option that states 'none' next to the creditcard options, you'll need to use a creditcard for this.

    Hey there Mark,
    If this is indeed the first time that you have used your Apple ID in the iTunes or App store you do need to have a payment method the first time you set it up:
    Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
    If you've already created your Apple ID, you'll need to add a payment method when you first use it to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. But you can optionally remove the payment methodafter you sign in to the store. You won't be asked for a payment method again until you make your first purchase.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Can anyone recommend a backlit keyboard to use with the Macbook Pro?

    I like to hook my laptop up to a larger monitor and work that way while at home with an external keyboard hooked up by usb. I am using an older mac keyboard but its hard to see the keys if the room is not well lit. Can someone recommend a backlit external keyboard to use with the macbook pro that has a number pad? This seems really hard to find for some reason... Thanks!

    Logitech makes a USB-powered backlit keyboard but it is for Windows PCs. You should check its Web site to see if it has a similar one for Macs.

    Ok, you should generally only get this when you are converting your ID to an iTS account for the first time.
    Sign into iTunes with your Apple ID and you should get this.... IRC once you agree or accept it's now an iTS account and you wont get that again.

  • I cannot sign in.  "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store.  Please review your account information."  I click "Review", next message "You must turn on cookies to continue.   Cookies must be enabled if you want to create or edit.. etc."

    I applied and received an upgrade code to Redeem Mountain Lion for my new MBP. 
    I get this message when I try to Sign in to the App Store after entering the redemption content code, and also if I just try to "Sign In".   The first part of the error is true - I haven't used the AppleID with the iTunes store.  
    I received the upgrade code using this same AppleID, so I don't think I can use a different AppleID.
    I also tried to re-create this appleID...(it was one suggestion I saw for this issue) It doesn't let me since the ID already exists...
    The error is:
    "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store.  Please review your account information."  I click "Review", next message "You must turn on cookies to continue.   Cookies must be enabled if you want to create or edit.. etc." 
    It's clearly not a cookie issue..   Stuck...

    The first part of the error is true - I haven't used the AppleID with the iTunes store. 
    Try here >  Using an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store and Mac App Store
    received the upgrade code using this same AppleID, so I don't think I can use a different AppleID.
    Correct.
    It's clearly not a cookie issue..
    As for cookies. Quit the App Store. Now open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder.
    Type this exactly as you see it here:   ~/Library/Cookies
    Click Go the move the   com.apple.appstore.plist   file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch the App Store.
