Customer Reviews
Just Right
This is exactly the keyboard you need if have a computer that does
it all. This keyboad is compact, well made, and has all the features
you need for simple MIDI entry. I don't recommend it for performance,
though - not at all rugged. Great for Apple-based studio (or Wintel).
Great keyboard, no gig bag fits it though.
This keyboard is perfect for basic MIDI entry, which is all I need
- it's compact, light, portable, and USB powered. The only problem is,
there is no gig bag that I can find that fits a keyboard like this. All
gig bags are 14 to 15 inches deep and 5 inches high, while the keyboard
is only 8 inches deep and 3 inches high. The box that it came in has a
plastic handle, but who wants to use a cardboard box as the carrying
case? I ended up getting the Musicians Gear 49-Key Keyboard Gig Bag,
but the keyboard swims in it. I would love to know if there were a
compact gig bag that fit this keyboard.
Perfect for me
All you have to do is plug it in to your computer's USB port, turn
it on, and run SimplePiano, or any other similar free Windows program
that takes input from a MIDI device and outputs it to the MIDI sound
output that comes with Windows, and start playing. It's perfect on my
lap, with my laptop computer on the table. You can play 4 octaves on it
without having to use the octave-shift buttons. This has been perfectly
adequate for me to learn piano and just fool around with melodies and
chords.
