MIDI Keyboards
Using the right controller keyboard will give you more hands-on access for your music in real-time.
Make sure that there are enough keys - and big enough - as well as a series of knobs and modulation wheels so you can tweak frequencies, pitch and other effects. Recording parameters in real time will make them sound so much more 'real'.
Compatibility is also very important and if your heart is set on a particular software platform or sequencer you can now buy dedicated USB self-powered controllers for maximum ease of use.
There are good both electrical and USB powered MIDI keyboards.
The greatest advantage with USB powered keyboards is that you can easily use them with a laptop and they save you from installing yet another plug on your studio set-up.
