    • Not weighted hammer action – but that's okay!
Size: 88 Keys
Number one question about the MIDI controller will be, how do the keys feel? It's not hammer action, and no one will mistake it for an acoustic piano, or digital piano, but the keys feel solid, and an acceptable compromise with synth action. For my purpose (recording MIDI input), and ability level, after getting used to it, you don't think about the action. The keys are not slippery, and the black keys are non-glossy. Piano realism will depend greatly on the software. Reason with Radical piano instrument sounds fantastic. The "included" software is convoluted to download, and merely adequate if you have nothing else. As a controller, I have still not been able to use the controller buttons. Alesis Q99 does not come up as a controller preset, and the other Alesis models don't work. Could be just me, and I don't really need that feature. Pitch, modulation and sustain all work great, and velocity on the keys is great (again dependent on the software). Bottom line, this is a fantastic value for the price, solidly constructed, but not for advanced piano performance (a big step up for synth sounds). ... show more

    • Good Keyboard for USB midi only
Size: 88 Keys
Review Image by Amazon Purchaser Amazon Purchaser
Review Image by Amazon Purchaser Amazon Purchaser
The action is good, not great. This KB otherwise suits my needs as an aux 88 kb for project studio. About what you expect for price. The direct midi port does not work after several attempts, while the USB midi works great, has no latency issue with my setup and also powers keyboard. (No P/S needed)

    • 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

    • Great Minus The Transport/Record Programming
Size: 88 Keys
Great feel, keys were what I was worried about... but when I received it I was relieved to be happy that the keybed felt so good. Overall great keyboard, besides the button mapping (not considering the wheel, pitchbend or volume slider) I just couldn't figure out how to use it, and I use custom-programmed TouchPads in my studio for things that include those functions anyways, the keyboard I used before I didn't use these buttons, but I still wanted that keyboard button functionality for once, just because. The User Manual is very much not a helpful one when it comes to mapping, it does not describe which command refers to which button and so forth. The listing above the keybed does clearly state the wheel and fader commands but not the transport, record -and-so-forth buttons. Really had to play around with it just to understand the sliders. I know THOSE work atleast. The octave buttons work great as well. I cannot find videos anywhere by Alesis or in general about how to map these buttons however so I gave up on the record and transport buttons. Composition feels great, it is plastic but DEFINITELY not cheap plastic. It feels great really. The keyboard comes with a plastic adhesive that sticks to all the keys at once, just peel it off ofcourse, but I did find it left a very squeaky feel to the keys for like 6 hours of playing before they began to feel normal but whatever it feels great now. Just a packaging precaution is all that it was. I like that there is Pro Tools First included, and additional software. That's super cool I guess. Look, if you want a good keybed, well functioning and nice feeling faders (wheel, pitchbend, volume) and nothing else really matters, I would recommend. Had to subtract a star for programming. It is just plug and play magic, and I'm happy. There are not a lot of informative reviews, not only is Alesis a smaller company, but this is a newer product, hence the little discussion and reviews. So I tried my best to give you the gist of it. ... show more
