  • Hit or miss with Android devices
Size: 32 Keys
I have an iPhone SE (1st gen) and Windows 10 PC. It works with those devices for sure. When it comes to Android devices, it's gonna be a hit or miss. I can only speak for the devices that I do actually have. If you took a chance on an Android that works, please share your experience. Moto Z Play, Android 8.0 - does NOT work. It doesn't even power up the keyboard. Tried with an OTG with power input and still doesn't work. Walmart ONN 10” tablet, Android 9 Go - device recognized, but practically unusable. The tablet/apps recognize the device. BUT! The latency is pretty bad. Also, some keys get "stuck". I'm guessing the processor/hardware is just too slow. ATT Radiant Core U304AA, Android 9 - device recognized, but practically unusable. Got this phone from ATT as a free upgrade because of their network updates. Again, this seems more like incapable hardware, not incapable OS. Latency is unnoticeable, but the sound eventually starts crackling like the CPU is overloading. Moto E5 Play, Android 8 - surprisingly WORKS perfectly. This was just an ATT prepaid phone off the shelf. It is able to power up the device, the OS and apps recognize it, latency is unnoticeable. It seems that the hardware is very capable to provide very stable performance. Only caveat is to set the display to stay on for as long as possible. Even with battery optimization turned off, my MIDI app seems to go to sleep with the screen is off and when it's in background. So, it is a bit unpredictable. Why the Moto Z Play, which is a much better phone than the Moto E5 Play, doesn't work...I don't know. It would be difficult to lay out minimum requirements in that context. So, I can understand why Alesis just doesn't want to even mention it. ... show more

  • Keyboard for software piano
Size: 88 Keys
This keyboard performed just as I expected - performed as a keyboard to be able to play a piano software. I did not find any latency between keyboard presses and onset of sound. it sounded instantaneous.

  • Great little MIDI controller with lots of USB issues
Size: 32 Keys
I got this MIDI controller for use with my iPad and also with my desktop PC. I use it mainly to play some sampled harmoniums and liked this keyboard because of the range of keys. Most other 32-key keyboards don't have the same range as this. I find this key range to be perfect for working with a virtual harmonium and can use it for live performance. The keys are not weighted, but I was definitely not expecting that for this size and price range. They do have a nice soft feel to them and get the job done. I really hate the Mod and pitch bend buttons. I would have preferred mini wheels over these buttons. You have to actually hold down the mod button and it resets as soon as you release it. Definitely not useful if you want to keep the mod wheel setting at a specific position, which is impossible with this. The biggest issue I have with this keyboard is the USB port. No matter what port I connect it to on my laptop or desktop computer, it comes back as unrecognized. The only solution I found was to buy a USB-C cable and then a USB-C to A converter to connect it to the computer. For some bizarre reason, that works perfectly fine. But using a straight USB-A cable never works! Overall, this is a wonderful little MIDI controller. I love the fact that I can pack it in my laptop with my iPad and I have a mobile music studio! ... show more

  • Great - light - easy!!!
Size: 88 Keys
Great little full-size 88, so easy to take to gigs, and does most everything I’d want it to. Amazing for the price!! Easy delivery. Something is funky with the way the expression pedal (you can set it to different midi channels- I set it to Soft) works with Mainstage. I’m trying to use it to change patches. So my workaround is plugging the sustain into expression (second jack) and the secondary pedal into sustain. And assigning them opposite, basically. However, then if I press both pedals at the same time, notes get stuck on. Not a big deal, it still works perfectly as long as I don’t press both at the same time, and it’s a very specific and sort of uncommon thing I’m trying to do with two sustain pedals- one being used as a patch change. I use it at most of my gigs now!! ... show more

  • Great For Home Studio
Size: 49 Keys
I recently got an Alesis 49-key midi keyboard because I wanted to upgrade from my 25-key midi keyboard and it is great. I love the design of how the mod wheel and pitch bend wheels are curved with a finger groove for the node. It makes the experience of using the wheels more pleasant. It also comes with many different buttons that you can set up to do certain actions in your digital audio workstation. Overall this product is great and does exactly what you'd want it to do. ... show more

  • Great controller for beginners and I'm assuming for seasoned musicians as well.
Size: 32 Keys
I have been learning to play music with this thing and it seems to be doing the trick. I can now make sounds that almost resemble music lol. Its very well constructed seems durable and made with good materials. The keys are very responsive. I love the pressure sensitive keys as it makes the sound more intense or softer with the amount of pressure used. I love the size for its portability. Oh and all the free software available for different instruments and effects is amazing. So many plugins available. I am pleased with this purchase and it didn't break the bank. ... show more

  • Don't Buy , will arrive broken
Size: 88 Keys
I've never written an online review before but this is important because I don't want people to get ripped off like I did. I bought this keyboard and it arrived with a broken usb port. I read the reviews that others wrote saying this happened to them but I didn't want to believe them. I was wrong. I contacted Alesis for support and they said I could send it in for repairs but the warranty cleverly has a clause that you have to cover the shipping costs which if you live on the east coast like I do you'll have to pay $150 to ship it to Nevada for a $200 keyboard. I've read more reviews since this happened and it seems like this is a pattern. They sell defective equipment and then when you want it repaired they make it nearly impossible to use the warranty by ghosting people or making the customer cover the outrageous shipping costs for a product that arrived broken to begin with. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. ... show more
