    I got tired of carrying a bigger clunky midi board to school and wanted to be more mobile. So I decided to test this mini midi out. It turned out to be exactly what I wanted. It's affordable, light, portable, and it's plug and play. Nothing complicated. It easily slips into my backpack with my laptop with no problem. If you just want something simple without all the extra features then this here is it.

    If you do a price comparison, this is one of the most feature-packed controller for the price. Obviously, it won't compare to something higher end from AKAI but for the price point, there aren't really any other options that come with knobs and a drum pad. I will say this though - although the knobs and keys are fine, the drum pad leaves a lot to be desired. I use it for loops because the stiffness makes it feel awkward when trying to make a simple beat.

    Bought this for my cousin who has interest in Sound Engineering and Music. He has been able to build tracks, melodies with it. It seems to be a great option for those who are on a budget but are interested in the music/sound industry. Would recommend certainly as a starter

    Let's keep it real chief, this keyboard ain't it. It's a cheap controller for a cheap price. The pads are a joke and the keys manage to be mushy and stiff at the same time. I was unpleasantly surprised as soon as I took the hunk of plastic out of the box. Luckily, I got this controller only to test how a midi keyboard would affect my work flow and had little intention on keeping it for long.

    So why bother? Well, this controller is dirt cheap, lightweight, and super portable (weighs only slightly more than my phone). It's unpleasant to use, but by golly, it can place notes down like the best of them. That said, imma toss it in the bin soon. It's not good enough to warrent keeping and a (much nicer) replacement is already on its way.

    I would only recommend if you are on a tight budget and willing to skip a few meals for your very own midi controller.

    I've just started moving on from traditional music and into the digital world, and this is a great start for the price. I don't know anything about the knobs and how to set the pads to different things, and I could easily google it, but ain't nobody got time for that. I'm sure for someone who knows what they're doing, it works even better!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for beginners! Issue with using MacOS Catalina, though
    Reviewed in Canada on June 25, 2020
    Super easy to use, just plug it in, open your DAW and you're ready to play. The buttons are straightforward and I love that the keys are velocity sensitive so you can play super softly or intensely depending on what mood you're going for. I haven't encountered the issue of the drum pads double-playing, you just have to give them a good solid tap. Overall the keyboard feels sturdy and of good, lasting quality.
    The only downside is that if you run MacOS Catalina on your computer, the drivers haven't been updated so you're not able to use the Editor program to change the adjustable knobs, rendering them useless. Not a huge deal for me since the basic functionality is still there and all the other buttons work great, but might be an issue if you get the full size keyboard with more adjustable knobs/buttons. Hopefully Alesis will update this sometime to make the keyboard more functional.
