Can someone please recommend a keyboard/brand for this purpose?
Yamaha. I use the P-85. Or Casio Privia. Not M-Audio.
I use an M-Audio MIDI keyboard, Stephen. Is there something
I should know?
I should have been more specific! I meant the very cheap sprung
controllers available at the Apple Store. I was prepared for the less
than even touch but I was disappointed by the ciphers and silent notes
that developed within a few months. Presumably the "graded hammer
action" on the more expensive M-Audios is better.
I see my model has been discontinued and I haven't tried the
replacements because the Yamaha does everything I need it to.
It also wasn't clear whether the OP needed on-board sounds or not.
I just took a look at The Midi-Store.

Today's cheap keyboard comes with:
* 2-in/2-out audio interface
* 16-bit/44.1kHz (CD-quality) audio
* XLR microphone, 1/4" instrument and RCA inputs
* 1/4" jacks for stereo line output
* dual front-mounted headphone jacks
* hardware direct monitoring
I guess the guts of your run-of-the-mill USB interface are so cheap they
can be included without raising the price too much.
