midiplus AKM320 Midi Keyboard Controller

It is ok.

I already have other Midi Keyboards. I purchased this one for Travel use. There are people who encountered a few problems with this Keyboard. But with the Price this is on AMAZON, it’s a very good deal. One can’t expect more in that amount of Money. It’s a good keyboard with decent keys and knobs. Especially the Pitch & Modulation knobs are not so Plastic, they are very good. Also, it’s very easy to use. Just plug into your laptop and it will automatically install the software for you. I am using FL, I just launched and it detected the Midi Keyboard instantly. If you are looking for a small work especially on the go types then this Keyboard will surely serve your purpose.

It works perfectly with no scratches nothin. It also came in about 2 days using amazon prime delivery and it works nice. Worth the price.

La calidad del producto es excelente para su precio. Sus funciones de Volumen, modulation, pitch y el transpose funcionan bien y son muy útiles. El único punto negativo son las teclas que son algo duras y al poco tiempo de uso cansan, de igual forma las teclas negras se rayan muy fácilmente, incluso con el rose de las uñas. Aspectos que dado el precio del producto están más que justificadas y son tolerables. Lo recomiendo.

I wanted a MIDI keyboard to supplement my digital piano, which lacks pitch & modulation wheels and isn't portable. Keyboards can be pricey, so I decided it would be best to start with a low-end model and then upgrade later on if that seems necessary. Important reasons I opted for this over other low-end keyboards: - 32 keys instead of 25. That may not sound like a big difference, but it's noticeably roomier. - Pitch and modulation are wheels, not buttons or other things. - Price. It was the cheapest MIDI controller on Amazon at the time I was looking. I'm in every way happy with this keyboard. All the controls work, and the key feel is consistent, though not high-end. I was afraid the quality might be bad since it's cheap, but, so far, no issues. I'd recommend this keyboard to anyone wanting to do MIDI input and not ready to make a big purchase.

The keys are not too clunky, its not too heavy. It sits next to a laptop on a plane, train, or desk, without dominating. I've travelled with this for a few months now and it's been solid. I like it. I have all of the mainstream mini-keyed keyboards over 25 keys and it is as well built as any of them PLUS - it has a proper pitch bend rocker, the USB is full (not micro). Recommended for travel and for that spare keyboard under your monitor.

The first thing you are sure to notice about this keyboard is the price. Let's compare this to its closest relative, M-Audio Keystation Mini 32. The ADM320 is almost one third the price! So, what is the catch? What is wrong with this? Nothing! This has heavy duty pitch and mod wheels, not just buttons, so you get better control of those features, and it also has backlit octave and most notably, transpose buttons. Many much more expensive keyboards don't have transpose buttons and it is very useful to have them. Both the octave and transpose buttons work in the usual way and if you press both up and down at the same time, they return to neutral(and the backlights go off). There is also a useful volume slider that works very smoothly(do I have to tell you to be sure to keep the slider all the way to the right, which is maximum volume? Well, for those new to this, do it. You only move it to the left, which is lower volume, for effect). The volume slider can also be assigned to other tasks, such as pan, if you use "midi learn" mode in your software. It also has an input for a sustain pedal, surprising on such a small keyboard. One big difference between this and the M-Audio is that this cannot be programmed for different velocity curves and so forth. But the velocity curve it comes with is just fine. The fit, finish, and overall quality are absolutely first class. It comes with a heavy duty six foot USB cable( USB A to USB type B) and an instruction booklet which is very basic since there isn't much you have to learn about this keyboard. But the instructions do a good job of explaining everything for beginners. Comparing the size of this to the M-Audio, the white keys are a half inch longer than the M-Audio. Aside from the keys being a bit longer, the feel is close to the M-Audio, which is rather springy(my preference is less springy). Yes, you really get your money's worth with this! I am extremely impressed with this, especially the price. There is no reason not to choose this if you want a mini midi keyboard with a 32 key range. It also comes in an attractive sturdy box to keep it in. Before I bought this, I found a great demonstration on Youtube. It isn't in English(it is in Portuguese) but he does a great job putting it through its paces and it is easy to understand, so you can see it functions just as I have described.
