almost perfect keyboard

ROI Metalhead 09.11.2020

I bought this keyboard a while back and it suits my needs almost perfectly, its got 4 octaves, which for me is plenty. Its got pitch bend to the side and a mod wheel which is usually vibrato by default. I bought it as a controller for both software and hardware synths, and it does work fine for most. The only mark against it that I can see is that for some reason the MIDI out will NOT work with my Roland GR-20 Guitar Synth module. I dont know if its a fault with the keyboard or the module (the module is 2nd hand) but that's literally the only slight against this keyboard. other than that, its works perfectly with every other module I have, even other Roland modules too. Well worth buying for simple, basic needs of playing/learning to play without all the extra knobs, buttons and sliders to complicate it! Perfect for beginners!

Does its job. For the Price. But ...

Tabazan 06.11.2020

That keyboard is very good. I'm not an expert but it feels solid, the keys are well balanced (IMO, for me), but ... (I should have read on the description) : no way to set the Velocity level...
But for the Price, does perfectly its job.

Perfect response keys!

gregorvegelj4 04.08.2019

I was in doubt about the responsivenes of this product since it was the cheapest option on Thomann, but it responds without any lagg at all. It is incredibly fun and smooth to play! I use it with Pianissimo and I'm learning how to play Piano on it and it is absolutely addictive! Thank you Midiplus and Thomann! <3 Use with Ableton is also super simple and the response is lagg-free completely, again I am truly surprised by the quality of the product. And also this thing is big - it is nearly one and a half meter long.
