midiplus AK490 MIDI Keyboard Controller

Being a musician for 20 years of my life ive had many didfferent keyboards etc. This one i was not expecting much from being a cheap midi keyboard, i was just after omething a little bigger than a 21 key midi controller to mess around with.It arrived much bigger than expected, actual grand piano style keys, big and chunkey and feels slightly like playing a piano with the weighted keys.The overall unit has a fair bit of weight to it, rather than it being too light. Im very impressed with it. Once i hooked it up to the PC, took about 5 mins of fiddling with settings to get Studio one 3 wired to it. Once fully operational the feel of it while playing is pretty damn good if im honest.Defo worth the buy

works perfectly, was plug and play, feels solid, plays well, great usb keyboard for the price

So good so far

This is by no means your average midi keyboard, and by that I mean you get full-sized keys deep as those of a real piano and semi-weighted action (something that's normally not available at this price point). That said this is perfect to play classical piano, Rhodes piano, and some other electric pianos. This is not meant to be used with synths, organs and other instruments where you need very light keys to be able to play fast and hard at the same time. There are no other controls besides octave selection, pitch, and modulation. I would recommend this keyboard to those who want to take piano more seriously but don't have the money for a 88 key hammer-action keyboard. It's a good way to start but bear in mind it's limitations since it's got "only" 49 keys (4 octaves).It's a very simple setup, plug and play style, i simply connected the cable to my computer then opened Cubase and it was ready to go.I like how it feels to play in it, the keys feel nice and not as springy and clicky as other keyboards at this price. It can be punishing to the fingers when playing for a long time, but again, a piano will be even more.If you don't need 50 knobs, faders and pads (or already own such devices/keyboards) then this is a great buy for that piano feel on a budget.The only con is that i wish they made a 61 key version of this.

A perfect standard midi keyboard without all the unnecessary buttons. Great price too! Well worth it

Yes all good,really happy with this service.Thank you.
