Hey guy I was wondering which is better for making beats on reason from scratch without samples but sounds and synths provided by reason. Im more comfortable with midi pads than keyboards. Do they both serve the same purpose??
 
For what you want to do, I highly suggest a midi keyboard. It will be alot easier to play melodies and chords in the long run with a keyboard rather than pads. Just my 2 cents.
 
For drums pads work better
For everything else a keyboard is better
 
I'm with breal,

Pads for drums (and sampling!)
Keys for melodies, chords

Im bangin a Oxygen 61, and an MPD32. Gets the job done with nice workflow.
