  • Great For Adding Piano/Organ Tracks
Style: Keyboard
I’m not really a piano/organ player. I know my way around enough to get the sounds I’m looking for. I own a Electro Harmonix B9 organ pedal for guitar and while that works as a great stop gap when playing live I wanted something that I could actually record with without spending a lot of money because as I said I’m not a piano/organ player. When I got it I plugged it into my usb port and started up Logic Pro and it immediately recognized it and Logic’s own library gave me more than enough organ and electric piano tones to choose from. This thing will definitely get you realistic organ/piano/synth sounding tracks when recording with it and super easy to use. My one complaint is that I bought a 5 pin midi in/out to usb cable before I found out I didn’t need one. Just a usb cable. ... show more

  • Nice feature set, less-than-ideal play feel
Style: Keyboard
First things first: I see a lot of reviews here from people saying they "bought this to learn on." Don't buy a mini-sized keyboard to learn how to play keys. They simply don't work for that. I also see a lot of reviews complaining about latency. That is likely a function of setup and user inexperience; Windows devices and especially Android devices have audio latency with their stock hardware. The solution on Windows is an ASIO interface (which unfortunately both increases buy-in cost for a starter setup and reduces portability), with a lesser secondary solution being to use newer WASAPI drivers with stock hardware (much better than older-style Windrivers but still not really tight enough for performance); there isn't really a solution on Android yet. From the hardware itself, I have not noticed any undue or unusual latency with the AKM320. As for me, I've been playing keys and doing electronic music for... yyyyyeah, a long time, and I seem to have become an accidental collector of MIDI controllers. I've got several devices similar in genre to the AKM320, including the Korg Microkey 37, the Akai LPK25 (which seems to have the same keybed as the MPK25), and a first-gen Korg Nanokey. I bought the AKM320 because I needed more than 25 keys in an inconspicuously sized package I could hide in a drawer at the office to use with notation software and softsynths when the boss isn't around. It's unfortunately still a little too large for that, but it is definitely smaller than the Microkey 37. 25 keys, while very common these days, is just too small to do very much with in my years-in-the-making opinion; even the add'l P5 on offer in a 32-key board opens up a lot more doors (and available key centers). The transpose keys on the AKM320 are also a nice touch that greatly increase the little keyboard's usefulness for live playing, since you can center the board in any key you'd like to get its limited range in the sweet spot (presuming you don't have issues with transposing on the fly to your chosen target key). But if you like, as I sometimes do, to slap a second minicontroller on top of an empty case space on your "big" controller at the gig, as an impromptu second manual for playing bass lines or triggering samples or some such, the AKM320 is likely too big for that too. (Then again, so are most minicontrollers... save the LPK25, Nanokey and perhaps the QuNeo.) The AKM is just big enough, and has just enough space behind the keybed, that I am wondering if one could crack it open and install something like an Axoloti or maybe a FluidSynth'd RasPi Zero in there. It's cheap enough that I may also yet find out! Out of the box and not plugged in, the AKM320's action feels pretty nice for what it is, very similar to the Akai keybed. But when you plug it in, it's a somewhat different story. Key actuation seems to happen at a significantly deeper point in the keypress than on my Akai or Korg controllers. This can result in notes that simply don't sound if played lightly, and also results in a more "spongy" feeling action than my other minicontrollers. Mind, in this player's opinion, these mainstream-brand minicontrollers already feel too "spongy" for tight chordwork or lead playing. I'm no engineer but I suspect the problem in general with this genre is the addition of velocity sensing. Casio spent years making tiny little keyboards, some smaller than the current "standard" size for mini controllers, that were much more responsive and playable than any of the modern-day miniboards in my stable. I suspect this is because these keyboards obligatorily omitted velocity, and when you add that requirement to the equation you end up with keyboards that aren't as fun or as quick-feeling to play as an old thrift-store Casiotone; there's probably just not enough throw in the tiny keystrokes to allow for some semblance of satisfactory velocity response (which requires either a force-sensing resistor or multiple switches). This is one significant reason I don't believe these modern USB mini controllers are at all suitable for learning to play keys. They are strictly devices of convenience for those who already have some degree of skill at playing keys, and as a compromise exchanging footprint for feel, they will always hamper and frustrate anyone who *does* know how to play. Speaking of velocity, despite the uh less responsive overall feel of the keyboard, once one's touch is adjusted to the needed firmer / more unpleasant level, at least the AKM320's velocity output doesn't seem arbitrary or wildly inconsistent; it seems about on par with my "big brand" controllers. I have played a lot of cheap full-size USB controllers which are much more inconsistent in velocity output. However, I just got the AKM and it's early days. I intend to do some "tests" to see if my gut feeling playing the AKM live is borne out by actual MIDI data output vs. its competition. In addition to the keys being a little reluctant to actuate, the transpose and octave buttons are especially reticent to acknowledge input unless you press *hard*. I also miss the multi-colored LED switches of the other "big brand" controllers on the octave switch, which give you some visual cue as to which octave you're sitting in. The AKM320's switches turn red when you go up or down an octave, and simply stay red when you keep moving up or down, clearing only when you've pressed the opposing key enough times to get back to the default MIDI note range. Although I'd probably be displeased if I'd paid more for this than what they're currently asking, I do like the 320 overall. It's a utility device for stripped-down MIDI input situations, nothing more, and I did not expect more going in. It's nice that it incorporates a pitch and mod wheel (both of which work fine and are reasonably responsive) along with a single CC controller for volume which can be remapped to something else like filter freq in your software if you so desire. Throw that in with the aforementioned chromatic transpose option *and* the sustain pedal jack, and you have a good value vs. what you'd pay from another manufacturer for the same feature set. Just don't expect it to be anything more than a deeply compromised controller for those times when you just can't pull out or fit a full-sized controller on your desk... and if you are a light-touch player who has trouble adjusting and/or needs a controller for actual live playing sans missed notes, definitely look elsewhere. But don't expect the competition in the same size bracket to be miles ahead for the same purpose. ... show more

  • Pretty good!
Style: Keyboard
Not the best. But for the price and what it is; I like it a lot. I would not use it to perform with. But, it is great for GarageBand on Mac for recording and composing! I grabbed the extra insurance and I am glad, the plastic feels sturdy enough, but does feel cheap. The keys are a bit stiff to press, but I can get over that. The keys are smaller than I assumed, but it doesn't bother me, Overall, it is pretty good ;) ... show more

  • 2+ octave MIDI keyboard with mini keys and Octave & Step transpose, mod, pitch, and sustain
Style: Keyboard
2+ octave MIDI keyboard with mini keys and Octave & Step (semitone) transpose, mod, pitch, and sustain I recommend this keyboard. Basically this is like the AKAI LPK25 but better. I don't think there are any other MIDI keyboards with mini keys that have Octave and Step transposition buttons. They're also lit appropriately to indicate what octave you're on, well, kind of, they're the same brightness no matter how many you are up from 0, but it does indicate whether you're at zero, -1 or lower, and +1 or lower. The dedicated Semitone transpose buttons is key because it is convenient. Mod wheel and pitch wheel work correctly and it has a 1/4" sustain port. Haven't used that at all so can't comment on it but all the other features seem to work great. Obviously you can tell from the pictures that it has two octaves and a few extra keys going down to G. ... show more

  • Great MIDI Controller for a Beginner with No Interest in Preset Sounds
Style: Keyboard
I purchased this product to use it with a piano learning app for note recognition. I realized that I needed a controller connected into my device in order for the app that I’m using to sufficiently pick up on all of the notes that I was playing. This controller does the job. Initially, the keys were very hard to press; but that must’ve been because it was a brand new device. I have had this for about 5 to 6 weeks. I love it so much! It’s a lightweight and portable controller that can be used almost anywhere. It’s very easy to connect to a tablet, cell phone, or computer. It has an opening for a sustain pedal. I have not attached a sustain pedal to it yet but I imagine when I do that it’ll make it even more enjoyable for me. If you are looking to use this device for professional purposes this is not the controller for you. There are no preset sounds. There is no rhythm section of varying buttons to select to sample in various rhythms. This is an inexpensive no nonsense option that allows you to change octaves, transpose keys, use a pitch pedal, and a modulation pedal, as well as of course the volume button. That is it. I love it for the purpose in which I purchased it and I am grateful that I have it. Also, if you are like me and you are used to playing on an acoustic instrument and you are wondering if you should start using controllers then this MIDI controller is a great way to segue into that world. I am happy with my purchase and I’m glad that I have this device. ... show more
