The Title says it all but to go into more detail, i need a MIDI port and my budget is under 300$. I really don't know that much to look for except prefering weighted/semiweighted keys.

Thanks!

Weighted keys add to the price. Is it a workstation, piano, synth, or what exactly? Only synths I know in that price range is the Alesis Micron, or the Korg Micro-synth, but neither has weighted keys.

Start with the Yamaha 61 key whatever - mine was $299 plus the sustain pedal which you will want for $25. I bought the stand, $50 but don't use it. It sits on my computer desk, course it's a large desk. I doubt you finding weighted keys in that price range, so it feels a little different, I've grown to like mine, it's not that big a deal to me. No it does not feel like an acoustic piano. Just spend enough money to where you do not get that computer key click sound when you make a note.

I think you can find what you want at any good piano music store.
