    • 88 keys and touch sensitive. Works with Playground Sessions
Size: 88 Keys
Was looking for a keyboard to work with my piano software - Playground Sessions. I'd ran out of notes with my old M-Audio keyboard in the songs I wanted to play. Looked at all the great electronic brands - Roland, Yamaha, etc. Wanted to make sure the keyboard was responsive to how hard I played. Just couldn't justify the high prices. Even the M-Audio Hammer was above my budget. Saw this 88 MK keyboard and felt like it would fit my niche especially since I already knew it worked with the software. Haven't looked back on the purchase. Am very happy with the keyboard's performance. Probably the hardest thing is figuring out where to use it since there isn't a stand. There are a lot of good stands out there and in the beginning, it goes great on a long table. Remember there is no audio built in - it is midi only. Will need to connect to a computer or other device with USB. USB powers it so no reason to plugin to a wall outlet. Also, there are sustain pedals available, but they are not included. ... show more

    • I like it
Size: 88 Keys
I looked at every digital piano and controller on the market. At the end of the day, I’m not a pianist who needs hammer action. I compose music, do voice exercises and ear training & work on harmony with a piano. Coming from a Novation 61SL mk2, I needed more keys. If the original Yamaha DX7’s action is a 10 and the Novation’s is a 7.4 and an old M Audio Axiom 49 is a 6 then this is about a 6.8. Not much worse than the Novation but definitely better than old cheap keyboards. There’s some lateral wiggle and the keys have a bit of quiet spring squeak until they break in but it’s not a deal breaker. The keyboard is pretty long so make sure to get a measuring tape out and check the specs before you buy. It’s nicely thin, however and seems to be meant to fit between you and a computer monitor. In fact, I have it resting on the foam packing blocks it shipped with and have plenty of room underneath for a qwerty to comfortably type and mouse. Great value if you don’t need hammer action and already have something like a maschine for knobs and pads. ... show more

    • I thought this was mediocre, until...
Size: 88 Keys
Using my old Reason 10 setup, I thought "Sigh, yep. I definitely got what I paid for. Cheap piano for a cheap price. At least I have 88 keys!" But YOU NEED to use a good sample set! This piano DOES support a LOT of range/expression. You NEED to make sure your digital instrument supports all the levels of expression that this thing offers! For example, yes Reason 10 itself supports 128 levels of expression. However, the sample-set/instrument I was using clearly only had 4 different levels. When I just-so-happened to get the Mini-Grand instrument set up (not gonna lie, the setup is a pain and you do NOT get the actual MIDI instrument for free when it comes to your DAW, you just get the standalone EXE) I realized that this piano sounds BEAUTIFUL under the right conditions. So make sure you save an extra 100 dollars or so for a good sample set! Cheers. ... show more

    • Purchased as entry level "real instrument", rather happy with it
Size: 88 Keys
Purchased this one for the kid's music lessons and overall curiosity. He needed full size keyboard and looking on Facebook marketplace made me sad. The fact that you get a bunch of commercial software with it (probably exceeding the price of the keyboard if purchased separately) makes it rather attractive if this is the first time setup. I did try it with open-source software too, and it worked without issues. Subjectively the keyboard is OK, as expected from a semi weighted. Keys are tad loud mechanically, but have a decent feel to them. Overall I really like the concept of the barebones instrument, build quality and versatility. Snobby professional musician perhaps would keep on looking though. Granted, said specimen are rarely satisfied with anything they can afford :-) ... show more

    • Excellent piano
Size: 88 Keys
Feels wonderful and is an absolute joy to play. Works out of the box with Logic Pro on an M1 Macbook, just plug it in and it works. If you want to get the record/play/stop buttons working you'll need to manually setup a new 'Control Surface' called "Mackie Control" in Logic settings and set the output to 'Keystation (MIDI)' and the input to 'Keystation (Transport)'. Luckily that's only a couple clicks, I just wish it were better documented somewhere. Can't beat the price, especially considering the quality. Will be using this keyboard for years to come. ... show more

    • Exactly what I needed
Size: 88 Keys
Review Image by Jeffrey L. Jones Jeffrey L. Jones
This keyboard is just about the cheapest 88-key MIDI controller out there, and it serves the purpose exactly as designed. I've had zero experience with these devices previously, so I'm not sure if others out there are more compact, but, as you can see from the picture, it doesn't take up too much space on my DAW desk. The action is somewhere between a real piano and a non-weighted synth keyboard, making it fine for my needs. (I'm a sore excuse for a pianist -- if you are a real pianist with traditional grand piano feel expectations, you should spend more money.) Since it gets its power from the USB connection, you don't have yet another power chord to add to the inevitable technology snake pit. It supposedly comes with downloadable software allowing it to produce lots of great sounds through your computer, none of which I've tried (I have my own software), but know that this thing makes not a sound without that. ... show more

    • After a while, sends random pitch bend signals. Sounds horrible!
Size: 88 Keys
Years later, I suddenly started noticing that all of our MIDI notes were out of tune. Nothing wrong in our DAW, so I used MIDI monitor and noticed that this keyboard now sends random pitch-bend signals which detunes MIDI notes by a half step! Can't use this to play live or play along with other music, it sounds off key! Factory Reset doesn't fix the issue. What a waste of money! ... show more
