    why the knobs have to be so tall, it's so unhandy when you have to put this in a bag or backpack

    Seems like this one has the best reviews out of all the cheaper midi keyboards. So I'm assuming this is probably better than the panda mini. This even has better reviews than the cheap akai midi keyboard.

    So it now comes with a special version of protools live as of sometime earlier this year. I just found out today when I registered mine. I'm excited because I've been using the demo version of FL. Hopefully there aren't many limitations.

  • @martin984
    @martin984 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a 49 key keyboard, but I'm looking for something smaller so I can always have it hooked up and ready when the inspiration strikes. I'm looking at this and the full-sized key version v25. After watching this review, I really like this one, but I'm not sure how small the keys are. What do you think, are the keys too small to play simple melodies and chords?

    • @masters-of-music7602
      @masters-of-music7602  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I ended up getting rid of this keyboard pretty quickly and I replaced it with an Arturia MiniLab MKII. It's a bit larger but it has way more knobs and more pads and the keys are much nicer. Compared to it the Alesis V Mini is way overpriced for what it is. It should sell for $49 tops. I like the MiniLab a lot better than either Alesis I tried. I don't have a problem with the small keys; the biggest limitation is it can be hard to play with only 25 keys available at one time, but the smaller size fits great on a desk and it's handy to have connected all the time.

    • @martin984
      @martin984 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks! Yeah, exactly the small size is the main thing I'm considering now. I'll go ahead and check out your recommendation of the MiniLab. Keep up the great work with your channel

    • @carterwolski6028
      @carterwolski6028 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, and if you want to turn off velocity settings then go to Options (Top Left Bar) > MIDI Settings > At the bottom it will say "Link note on velocity to [Velocity]" but click the box and choose "None" and you will no longer have velocity sensitivity.

      If it were like $49 it would be a no-brainer to purchase but there are better options in its price range. If I were to get a new mini MIDI keyboard I'd consider the new Arturia MiniLab MK2 because it has a lot more knobs and pads and the software bundle is better and it's only $20 more. masters-of-music.com/new-arturia-minilab-mkii-midi-keyboard-controller-video/

    It's interesting that when I plug it into the laptop ..... and press it, it doesn't even make a sound. Interesting isn't it????
