  • Great keyboard at a good price
Style: Keyboard Only Size: 49-Key
Great value for the money. I use this midi keyboard in my little home studio and it works great. I've owned it for about three years now and have zero problems with it.

  • Love it.
Style: Keyboard Only Size: 88-Key
NIce quality! These have come a long way since the early ones I owned in the 2000s. Love the 88 keys, and it's mobile enough to be able to move around with care. Fits nicely in a lot of places because it isn't overly wide like many keyboards, and that is exactly what I love about it, sleek, adds visual appeal to a room. Great sound quality, works well. ... show more

  • Good Keyboard
Style: Keyboard Only Size: 88-Key
Really nice keyboard. This was an upgrade from my Yahmaha PSS-780 which I had for over 35 years. The 88 full size keys are great. It says seni-weighted but the feel is light, The velocity is ok, I mainly play this with the Grandeur Grand Piano. Sometimes I get an errant note far and few between, Keyboard, My playing, software, PC? I don't know but its not been a problem. Really good keyboard for the price. Fun to play. Easy hookup using either USB or Midi cabling. One distraction is the amount of flashing on the white keys. ... show more

  • Good 88 key budget controller
Style: Keyboard Only Size: 88-Key
First of all, I must say this is a good quality instrument. It’s built well, it’s tough, and it doesn’t require external power. The only reason it looses a star for me is because I’ve had a lot of trouble getting a good dynamic range out of this . It’s “ok”, and I’ve tried so many adjustments in DAWs to get it to a more suitable place. That does help! But… it doesn’t seem that it can be fixed 100%. I think it might be due to being semi weighted, though I cannot say that for certain. I do really enjoy this keyboard otherwise and I love how slim and lightweight it is. I have a very small room and I would have never imagined I could have 88 keys at my disposal in this space. For the value , this is pretty good. ... show more

  • Straight to Logic Pro - no programming required
Style: Keyboard Only Size: 49-Key
This is a great controller. If you want a synth, look elsewhere. But if you have great software like Logic Pro, you'll never run out of sounds this thing can control. The pitch wheel is flawless, and the modulation changes the sound in subtle ways (or large ways if you want). I don't use this to control my software. I sit at a computer and create when using this keyboard. I just use it for the keys and the pitch/mod wheels, and that's it. And that will keep me occupied for a long time to come. The keys aren't weighted like the upright grand I learned to play on - but it's fine. The key actions are just fine. If you want realism, spend a LOT more money and go for it. The thing is, if you want to adjust attack etc. in MIDI, you have all the flexibility you want in the LP software. I didn't download any of the software they included with this as I have no use for it. YMMV. Overall I think it was money well spent and am quite happy with the purchase. ... show more

  • Perfect for rehearsing at home

The best midi controller EVER. I used it for my virtual instruments

  • Exactly how most reviewers describe it
Style: Keyboard Only Size: 49-Key
I wanted a midi controller to get what I played into my DAW as midi notes. This was easy plug and play into my iPad 9, worked with garageband, free synths from the App store and AUM. Its one of the more popular midi controllers at its price point. I got it when it was on sale, so it was good value for me. (No real "must have features" to get if I bought a similarly priced competing brand). After using it for awhile, I am not bothered by the click sound of key press that some reviewers say, but I do not like the "semi weighted" keys. I prefer the full weighted keys of an acoustic piano, or the non weighted keys of cheaper synths. The semi weighted feels just "tight" enough to bother me when I push down, but different enough from acoustic pianos that I notice. That's a "me thing." It might be perfect if you want less than the weight of an acoustic piano but still some resistance\feedback. Functions perfeclty for me and how it is described. And if I ever visit a friend's home studio, there's a good chance this same brand is at that producer's desk too. ... show more

  • Amazing Fun Device
Style: Keyboard Only Size: 49-Key
I am in love with keyboard, however the software set up was a little confusing. (probably my fault, lol.) I completely missed the "INPUT" device setting. I was able to fix this by closing the software and restarting so the program can SEE the device. (I recommend some tutorial videos if you are new to these wonderful devices.) Using the keyboard is very comfortable and the sound is amazing with a good headset, if that is your preference. Another recommendation would be a keyboard stand that can hold a 32 1/2" keyboard.
