Miniature midi keyboard controller
Extremely useful features. Fast shipping.
Great for teachers
We bought this as a gift for our son who teaches elementary music and it's perfect! It is easily transportable and offers many options for instruction. He is starting to explore Modern Band and this will be very useful in his lessons.
The staff at Sweetwater is amazing and they always exceed expectations for customer service! Thanks for all your help on this one Edward Vigen! Highly recommend this item and Sweetwater.
Pads are like bricks
GOOD: Included software package is great, 1000 presets. Physical appearance is great
BAD:
- Cheap plastic build quality
- Two of the keys squeek when you press them
- Pads are hard as bricks, requires force to press - fortunately YouTube has a electrical tape fix that requires you disassemble the unit (and voice your warranty).
Great small sized keyboard
Works very well the included cable is right angled so perfect for laptop setups. The keys feel good and the pads are great. The included plugin studio instrument is great and very intuitive. Great sounds and samples.
