[Finale] FS: GarageKey USB MIDI Keyboard
Greetings - I have an extra GarageKey USB MIDI keyboard. It requires no additional power than what is supplied via the USB cable. GarageKey requires with Mac OS 10.3 and above only. It's new, unopened in the box, however I want to open the box to make sure all the parts are there: the keyboard itself, a USB cable, the two plastic stands and owner's manual. I'd like $80 plus $10 for freight to the lower 48 states from Salem, OR. GarageKey - http://www.dvforge.com/garagekey.shtml The Perfect Keyboard For GarageBand We built the GarageKey simply because we love to play with Apple's wonderful GarageBand software, and, because there has just not been a small, elegantly designed MIDI keyboard available that matches nicely with Apple's product styling, and is small enough to actually put somewhere on most desks. The existing keyboards are bulky, complicated designs that may be great for trained keyboard players. But, they just don't match up to the real needs of most Mac users who decide to begin experimenting with GarageBand. That problem is now solved... with GarageKey. Review - http://www.powerbookcentral.com/columns/hildreth_kravitz/garagekey.shtml For the money, GarageKey is as good a USB MIDI keyboard as I've seen available in the US. What you see is what you get, and if you like its good looks and space-saving design and are really just interested in plucking out some melodies and experimenting a bit with GarageBand's MIDI capabilities then you'll probably dig GarageKey. After all, you're just the person MacMice had in mind when they designed it. Carlberg Carlberg Jones Guanajuato, Gto.

I don't have GarageBand and don't know if I'll ever get it, but my little Carl Robelli stopped turning on after the cats spilled coffee into the switch. My needs for a keyboard are not elaborate; I do mostly piano/vocals, some jazz and very limited orchestral stuff. If this will do, I might be interested.

Hi, Crystal - You'd need to read the specifications at the two URL's I posted - http://www.dvforge.com/garagekey.shtml and http://www.powerbookcentral.com/columns/hildreth_kravitz/garagekey.shtml - and possible do a search for GarageKey to find its specific applicability. Obviously, it's not meant for playing as a piano, with only a three-octave range. However, for MIDI input, the octave up and octave down buttons on the back give flexibility. Regards, Carlberg P.S. In order to avoid spills on computer equipment, may I suggest altering your work technique? Mount the equipment upside down on swivel posts near a comfortable bed. Carlberg Jones Guanajuato, Gto.

RE: [Finale] FS: GarageKey USB MIDI Keyboard
Maybe this is what I should have bought in the first place. I'm a voice teacher and don't exactly *play* a piano, just enough for vocal exercises and simple banging out chords when I have taught group classes in reading music. I had an acoustic which I sold to finance buying the MIDI for use with Finale. I think it will cost me more to fix this keyboard than to buy the one you are offering. Has anybody had any experience with GarageKey? It looks right for me at the urls.

However, that would still not eliminate the most frequent cause of tea-in-computer-keyboard mishaps in my studio: the explosive spit as I laugh unexpectedly at somebody's joke here on the List!
