Hi all - since many had trouble finding it, I posted the setup guide for this keyboard here: twitter.com/nicktaetro/status/1680817372150796290?s=61&t=J0CNsDlfFywt83JLjYD-8w
Hello @Taetro! What macbook do you have? I have this keyboard, I went to the apple store and I could not pair it with macbook air M2. Below in the comments, a couple of users also write that they cannot connect to their Mac. How did you do that?
Esto funciona TAL CUAL, gracias por la ayuda que no encontraba en otro lado, I have selected the preset 3 an it is working that way, for Cubase 13 PRO the knobs and the pads 9-16 and transport controls are fully functional using mackie control as input and output MIDI
Beautiful beat ! And I’m the designer of this keyboard, I saw a lot people worry about the latency , it’s a misunderstand of wireless device , it use BLE MIDI , it work just like using a cable , The latency only up to the buffer size setting of your audio interface or Apple CoreAudio.
@@WarrenPostma This controller do have this fucntion , all the Knob and Pads are configurable , and you can change the setting either through your phone or PC/MAC , by the way the configure software called '' Cube Suite "
Midi over bt makes a perfect duo. Akai has a wireless midi keyboard, but it has neither pads nor knobs. Honestly I can't see a point for not transferring cc over bt and for me it's a deal breaker. But I can see a couple of niche competitors that appeared recently for this kind of products (Lekato, Asmuse). I would love to see comparison video for them all because I dream about this kind of peace of gear...
Modern MIDI keyboards should be internally saving your melodies or songs as MIDI files (MIDI recorder: saving exactly what you play including the tempo and rests) all for a simple playback but mainly to export these melodies to other midi enabled instruments.
@@jordanmarshall9160Yes, for those that want to use a smartphone (that’s the way I do it). But there are many that don’t know how to hook it all up (including choosing the right apps for the task). There’s also some ppl that don’t want to use a smartphone or computer - thus a MIDI keyboard that saves MIDI notation internally to export in various ways later on (and this would be better for on the go music making anyway, less cables).
Yamaha PSR 320 from 1995 could do that. I guess, today you would use some MIDI-recorder, Arduino or just your phone. With something like a polyend polyracker it would be possible, but that is another expensive device.
Great vid! Absolutely loved the beat you made... every sound in there was beautiful! Keyboard looks nice too... I bought a Korg microKey Air a few years ago for the reasons you listed but just couldn't get the latency to a playable level. Nice to see this one works well! (although I should revisit it and see if I was just doing something wrong!)
I use the microkey air on my iPhone with 0 latency if you use a Bluetooth speaker or Bluetooth headphones there will be latency maybe that was your problem? Midi info travels fast; but audio, a bit slower introducing unplayable latency.
I have one and I really like it, got it on Aliexpress a couple months back and could find no info about it online. Where can I get a copy of that documentation that you show in the video as far as DAW integration for Ableton and FL Studio?
The Korg Nanokey Studio is less than 500 gram and has BT too. It has keys, pads, encoders, a XY pad, My problem is the encoders aren't endless, i just don't like this for macros that change depending where you are in your session.
Switched over to Vaves for all my midi kit, the BT protocol is excellent, as is having BATTERIES built in, right now the only thing missing is a launchpad style contorller in the line up, however, vaves smc mixer, pad, and keyboards are all excellent value for money, one thing to note, having a built in battery, Vaves midi controllers wont impact your power profiles when running on tablets or phones when hooked via USB, meaning more power to your software, right now im running the smc mixer, smc pad, and the smc key mark 2, and all 3 for under £$100 in total, just insane value for money, and ahead of the pack.
Is it possible to configure the knobs and pads manually in the daw and with plugins? For example to use it with massive x or other plugins who use knobs and pads.
I was thinking the same thing. I saw the swissonic one on the thomann website, and thought it looked familiar. Maybe it's made by a random Chinese manufacturer, and then companies just slap their logo on it
I'd rather have a built in track pad over the st pad, seems logical to me. I really like how sleek the black on black looks with the pad colors. Dig the cozy desk setup. enigma vibes!
I just bought one and thought I'd see some other type of review. I prefer wire. Gotta be locked in, and bt is my backup. And if it's performance just in jamming and carefully moving layers even through the board , it is even better. Like a backup. Wonderful playing. Thanks for making the video.
I'm someone who designs (and programs) MIDI controllers for fun and profit. BLE MIDI hasn't taken off the way it deserves to specifically because Microsoft managed to break native support in a random Windows 10 update and many years later, there's no fix in sight. It's a huge shame, but the only way BLE MIDI can work is with an intermediary program such as MIDIberry, which is glitchy AF and in my experience, drops the signal constantly. It doesn't tell you that the connection is dead; you just sort of hope for the best, even right next to your PC, and sooner or later you realize that messages are just not sending. Getting reconnected is often even more fraught because Windows still thinks that you're connected. This necessitates removing the virtual device and re-adding it in the Bluetooth GUI. To be clear, it's insane that this doesn't just work, but the real life experience of trying to work with BLE MIDI on Windows is a full boner massacre.
Can’t you just use the midi app / program from Korg? I load my CME Keyboard with it since CMEs own app doesn’t work well. Or is that just not common? Edit: I don’t even use the app when connecting with korgs keyboard and studio Kontrol. Or is that different too?
@@somn I've read your comment 3-4 times and I just don't understand what you're proposing. What does Korg have to do with this? What is CME? Native BLE MIDI is broken in all recent versions of Windows. I just don't comprehend how anything you said impacts that.
You are amazing dude! I can't tell you how helpful you have been in my music journey! I also can't tell you how much I appreciate your transparency! Love it bro! You are awesome!
hello, can you share experiences of this from faders perspective using those knobs? does it jumps the value? how to move across other sets of fader? thanks for the vid
I wish it had a scale/chord mode like the Korg Nanokey studio the black keys were chords and white keys were scale. So useful on a small 25 key controller. Shame Korg can’t make a version with real keys and pitch/mod wheels
Can you record your own loops, in to those colored buttons? Can this to be used with acoustical piano? Which software is compatible with this looper? Thanks
Korg had one that felt like a computer keyboard for years. I think in that form factor it works. We have bt dongles too for keyboards further from the computer that are too far for the usb. Most midi keyboards that are bigger are usb powered. At that point Bluetooth isn’t needed, but in the small form factors with batteries this is a must. If they added lithium ion… it would be more wonderful.
Pretty sure it's already lithium polymer, not gonna open mine to find it cause I already know it's not lead acid, NI-CD or NIMH and at this size there isn't a difference between polymer and ion, only when you start going small does it matter.
M-VAVE also has a wireless MIDI device called MIDI-B. Only drawback is it only has ports for 5-pin MIDI but it's waaaay cheaper than other wireless MIDI systems from other manufacturers.
Pretty interesting device. Still on the fence, trying to decide between this one and Launchkey Mini MK3... Putting aside the DAW and Bluetooth, which one would you consider better, more versatile and with better feel of pads and keys? I'm also considering something with more keys - I can play drum parts on the keys, so maybe just a midi keyboard with more keys would be a better idea.
My only wish for Novation to release an exact same Launchkey Mini mk3 with BLE MIDI so I would sell mine and get that. I absolutely agree that all MIDI keyboard, especially mini range, should have this already.
Woooow bro!! I saw this video and just bought it!! You explain everything so clear!!! I wish you have tutorials for beginners!! From the set up and how start playing it!!!
this device is a controller, it does not produce any sounds. you will need a phone or laptop with some music app, and then you connect the keyboard and the speaker to it
HELLO FRIEND, SORRY, I HAVE A QUESTION AND I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME, I CONNECT MY CONTROLLER WITH ABLETON THROUGH BLUETOOTH IT WORKS PERFECT, BUT THE PLAY, STOP AND REC BUTTONS DO NOT WORK IN ABLETON THEY ONLY WORK WHEN IT IS CONNECTED BY CABLE AS YOU DID FOR THEM TO WORK OR IT CAN'T BE DONE ?
Did you get the second edition? My first edition doesn't bluetooth connect to my Macbook air or iPad. Maybe I need an update or something. Otherwise I love this keyboard for its price and I use it with my model cycles wired in.
I nabbed a nanokey-st a couple of weeks ago simply due to limited midibt is so limited! This one looks dope tho! Definitely on the list when I want to get a trad keyboard!
Im going to try this one for the ipad. I hope it is a good choice 🙌🙌 seems like a minilab-mpk 3 hybrid with Bluetooth If not…well…i would take a minilab 3 to pair it with the minifuse.
Midi controllers need midi saving and playback capabilities. For example: When on the go, would love to plug my midi keyboard to my iPhone to play Minimoog iOS. If I happen to come up with a melody on the go, I can save that melody to my controller as midi (exact melody). and then when I get home, midi out from my midi controller -> to midi in of the actual Minimoog Model D synthesizer I have in my home studio. Press play on the midi controller and the melody will play thru the Minimoog Model D.
Love your work! I'm a novice when it comes to midi devices and recording in general. With that being said, is the m-wave pretty user-friendly out of the box?
It’s a MIDI controller so you’ll need your connect it to a computer or possibly a phone / tablet. The software is what determines the sound. This keyboard is just a controller!
Just ordered the newer one with 16 drum pads. For the price its pretty unbeatable. Not too much to make it jarring but enough to make it functional. Ive had a push 2 for a minute but i just cant understand the chords and scales on it. Ill be using it in garage band and other apps to noodle around, then try to bring it into ableton.

Wireless is nice for PC/Mac but it's KILLER for iPad musicians. Take your ipad and your airpods, and this to the park and make a beat, away from everything else. There is no reason they shouldn't make every button have at least a MIDI CC on the main channel and main device, in bluetooth mode.
@@Ysa-ob3xcI use this keyboard wirelessly with garage band on Ipad. There is a Bluetooth MIDI device option in advance setting menu. It works like a charm 😊
Do the keys work well? I mean like any velocity issues? edited: I'm asking this becaue I'm on my buget journey of home studio. If this midi controller has less issues with the keys and the pads, I'm gonna down for this stuff. I'm a little bit worry that if this unit won't be price to perfomance as I don't have much budget.

All three are identical. Just different branding.

That sounds like such a good setup

Go into an audio interface and record it all... I use waveform on my laptop with a behringer 8 channel interface.
looks like a great alternative to the Akai MPK Mini, would be neat if it used USB-C instead of the bulky Type B though...
