You're talking about using it to record midi and the problem is most of the decent low priced consumer piano keyboards have no midi or usb connections including the Previa. I liked that $300 Yamaha 88 key and the Previa. I was looking at them last year with the thought I might use one as a controller with my computer and then looked at the back of them and no midi connections. They don't have pitch bend or mod wheels either. You need a semi pro unit that specifically says it can be used as a controller and naturally that ups the price considerably especially if you want a nice feel to it. There's a whole bunch of basic controllers for $199 or so (no sound) that hook up to your PC, have all kinds of cool templates to control your music software and work fine but...their keyboard actions are total plastic crap but new ones are coming out all the time so maybe... Unfortunately the only keyboards that I know for a fact have a good pro level action either weighted or semi weighted are your regular big name stage keyboards from Roland, Yamaha, Korg, Kurzweil etc. My advice is to look for a used pro stage 61 key semi weighted anything from one of those companies for $400-500 or so. It will have a pretty good feeling action plus you get a full synth soundbank to play with too. If you find something and need a 2nd opinion before you buy it email me, I'm familiar with pretty much all of them.
