Whatever you get, check on the keys. Nearly all synths have midi output, and midi controllers, in particular, are cheap. However, you want to make sure you have one that has the weighted, pressure sensitive keys. If you find that, then you've got it.

M-Audio is the only brand I know of that makes particularly midi controllers. $200 for 61 keys, and they're weighted, so not too bad. Again, some models of M-Audio don't have the weighted keys, so beware. You should visually be able to see, though. If the key looks like a plank, don't buy it.
