For midi on a PC i would recommend a good controler keyboard from M-audio, Novation or Alesis. If your not looking for portable get a PCI soundcard like a audiophile from m-audio. theres alot of USB/firwire low latency devices out there but there true latency is not as good as pci. most of them have internal buffers that stop pops and crackle but add a few ms to your final latency. I have an audiophile in my second pc its old but has rock solid drivers.

If your pressed for space something like the M-Audio KEYSTUDIO 49I would be a good choice. I havent had first hand experience with it but by the spec it seams like you get alot for your money. It does midi audio and has lots of keys. I used to work for Yamaha and i love there pro end stuff but the PSR range is not what you want to be looking at.

keystudio 49I. read some reviews see what the drivers are like first.
