midi Casio CT-X800 as a MIDI controller

[MaurM]

Hi all.

 

I've been searching for the best keyboard that suits my needs. According to the the price and features it seems that the CT-X800 is the best option available for me. However, Im going to use it as a MIDI controller on Reaper (PC) besides of a regular keyboard, and this is the most important feature I need. I hardly found little info about this usage for this keyboard, and I want to make sure that it works right. I read something like "not all the 61 keys are functional for MIDI, only a third part of the keybed is functional for this", and now I have mixed feelings. I do need to make sure that I will be able to record MIDI playing the 61 keys as if I were just playing with the keyboard speakers. I appreciate your comments on this. Excuse my not perfect english.

Where did you read that?  All 61 keys will function perfectly as a MIDI keyboard.

I read it in a forum (I dont remember where exactly). Then I read Casio's MIDI Implementation PDF page 5-6 something about keyboars is divided in three parts, but Im new in MIDI and couldn't understand what it talks about. It seems that I just misunderstood it. Thank you for clarifying this out.
