A few months ago I was contemplating the same thing since I was out of town for a long stretch of time. It's unconventional and doesn't have quite all the features that most traditional keyboards have, but I ended up purchasing a Launchpad Pro [1]. While it does not offer a traditional keybed, it is surprisingly playable and feels very musical in its note mode. It also has a chord mode that makes building up chord progressions and riffing on them. It also has a reasonably featured 4 track midi sequencer built in. And of course it can be used as a drum pad and can launch clips in Ableton and Logic (and I believe there is a script for deep integration in bitwig studio as well?).

- kuon 4y agoYeah, I use it to control my stream, it works very well. (I use it with ardour on linux)
- wahnfrieden 4y agoNot as “sensibly priced”, but I’ve replaced my LCXL with the Teenage Engineering TX-6 and am very pleased
- munificent 4y agoArguably not as "sensibly priced", but if all you want is knobs, I really like my FaderFox PC4.
