Nice
Published on 09/25/13 at 09:41 (This content has been automatically translated from French)I was looking for a master keyboard small to place on my desk next to my keyboard (I could connect my Roland Juno-G but the size is not very practical in this case). It connects via USB directly to the computer.
UTILIZATION
The feel is related to the price of the keyboard: all plastic and at a cost of € 39. It is cheap but we know we not buy a high end for the price. It is very easy to use (in its grip as its installation: plug and play).
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a few weeks and it suits me perfectly. I have not tried other keyboard except the Fame of the same kind (such high quality). It is compact and that's why I wanted this format. Value for money quite honest.…Read moreI was looking for a master keyboard small to place on my desk next to my keyboard (I could connect my Roland Juno-G but the size is not very practical in this case).

USB connection.
UTILIZATION
Easy to use, convenient for a small home studio to make bass lines, melodies and even agreements. To solos on the other hand I use a midi keyboard with more keys and octave size standarts.
It should not have big fingers.
I did not read the manual. But I do my controller is only for plugins.

I use it for a year in a lot of prods that are now out. As what we can suffice him as usual.
Everything depends on the style of music that you eventually. But it has its uses to make lines, riffs, gimmicks and simple chords. It does not take place. In short, it has flaws when used for what it is not.

It has a good value for money, it is quite robust. Only the cable noon is fragile, twelve o'clock USB plug has not resisted the use of my 3 year old son ... This is unfortunate for portable equipment that should be increuvable.See less11 - R2o

Keyboard, knobs, pads and arpeggiator, all standing in a backpack. Plug and play. Recognized by most daw.
UTILIZATION
No need for manual very intuitive.
The keyboard has a relatively low hit particularly accurate velocity. To consider as a keyboard dappoint.
The pads are correct and accessible knobs.

Simple and efficient for the price / size
Published on 03/08/13 at 05:22 (This content has been automatically translated from French)Chosen for its mini size and portability as for mobile use. USB connection.
UTILIZATION
Used with an ultrabook is the ideal choice to play melodies with the other laptop keyboard. Affected somewhat elastic but not annoying. It should not be expected to touch piano for the price and size. Automatically recognized in ableton live, perfect for vst and other synths.
OVERALL OPINION
Used for over a year. It does not replace a real master keyboard but for a portable studio or home it troubleshoots minimum well. For me it is a complement. The arpeggiator is a bit anecdotal but hey, it can be used. I do not regret my purchase.Read moreChosen for its mini size and portability as for mobile use. USB connection.

AKAI LPK25 REVIEW
Published on 03/07/13 at 05:28 (This content has been automatically translated from French)Not much to say.
Mini usb keyboard with 25 key button octaves and built-in arpeggiator with tap tempo.
UTILIZATION
very convenient for its mini size, plug & play on most computer, tap tempo is not very accurate and the keys are tiny, so if you have big fingers, you are done. But overall, it is very practical save space if you do not use a keyboard that particular situation (as is my case). Small problem, the USB connector is on the side of the camera and not behind it bothers me when I put the key in the center of my table. The wire is tjrs in my legs (rather my arm lol)! Easy to carry but do not escape especially if not well protected!!

convenient for travel
Published on 10/13/12 at 11:04 (This content has been automatically translated from French)Master keyboard (no tone generator), connection and power only by usb (no connection noon can not be used with a computer), no pedal jack, lightweight and compact, easy to carry .
UTILIZATION
The touch is very nice but they are small buttons, use could not be easier given the limited functions, only the "arpeggiator" requires a grip but I did not linger because I am n 've got no use.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 2 years to go on holiday, its main advantage is its portability.10 - vsavagellc
Great for Mobile setups
Published on 08/19/12 at 18:17I purchase this keyboard for 2 main reasons. 1 It's small and portable and 2. Akai made it and I already owned the bigger version (Akai mpk49) but didn't want to spend money on the Mpk25 (cost too much for what I needed. I needed something that was thin and could fit in my backpack along with my laptop,headphones and maschine
This Keyboard connects via USB which is excellent makes it easy, the drivers automatically install for you (can't argue with that)
There are some pretty nice features on this unit such as sustain, octave, tap tempo.
I was actually glad it had the tap tempo feature

I was actually glad it had the tap tempo feature
UTILIZATION
I do a lot of music production projects with this little keyword - especially when I'm traveling. It's perfect for getting little ideas out and or full projects but again since inspiration can hit at anytime I like to take the AKAI LP25 with me everywhere I go. I literally just put it in my backpack along with my laptop and the rest of my portable gear and I'm on my way.
I also use the lpk25 for auditioning sounds when I'm sound designing. it's just easier to pull this out rather than my bigger keyboard.
OVERALL OPINION
The only thing I don't like about this mini keyboard is there is no actual mod or pitch bend wheel. I also don't like the cheap feel of the keyboard but then again it was only $50.00 and it's light weight so I guess I can't really complain to much.
I've used a lot of other mini 25 key keyboards before but this was the thinnest of all as well as the 1st mini akai I had used (at the time) before then it was the bigger much clunky looking oxygen 25.
I personally think this unit performs well especially for what it cost it works well with everything application I've ever used it with. - It gets the job done!See less00 - skeeter4u
Frankly a lot (I'm not a pianist)
Published on 08/14/12 at 14:32 (This content has been automatically translated from French)I took them because I needed something while waiting for the repair of my major MIDI keyboard, I focused on this one because it is portable.
UTILIZATION
For me I have touched no problem
The bin configuration is plug and play
OVERALL OPINION
It's been a little over two years that I use it and frankly it's perfect for the up composition (the quick kind), what I mean is that I need a keyboard with more key to everything is melody but if I had to buy without hesitation, it is very solid.10 - battlegluk
Good touch for a "small"
Published on 08/13/12 at 10:37 (This content has been automatically translated from French)At the time of my purchase seemed to me that the best hit.
UTILIZATION
Simple and good.
OVERALL OPINION
use for 2 years and change to a model with pitchbend.
Today I prefer the M-Audio's pitchbend although I preferred the feel of Akai that today at a value price less efficient it 2 years ago.10 - buzzmansai

i need more keys
Published on 05/22/12 at 09:26The Akai LPK 25 is a 25 key midi keyboard that is really small. I was very surprised to see how small and compact it is. The space between the top of the keys and the top of the board is virtually not even there . There is just a little black strip which cuts the height of the board down and makes it smaller than most 25 key controllers. Akai has really taken over some of the midi keyboards recently with some of there larger models. But the LPK25 is one of the lower end models that they produce. You will NOT be satisfied with this if you play with both hands. You will have to record your lower end instruments and sequences separate from your melodies just because there arent enough keys.

You will NOT be satisfied with this if you play with both hands. You will have to record your lower end instruments and sequences separate from your melodies just because there arent enough keys. I wouldn’t get this unless you are looking for something small enough to go into your back pack so you can pull it out on the go and make music wherever you are.
UTILIZATION
If you are looking for a good midi controller at home I wouldn’t get this either unless you are tight on workspace and need something small. Not that it cant do what a 61 or 88 key can do because in the end its all the same. But I like to play my melodies with my low end at the same time to really get the sound of it before I record the midi sequence.
OVERALL OPINION
I am not bias but im just not a fan of 25 key midi controllers because they are just not enough for me. If I am going to use a 25 key controller I mine as well load up FL studio and just use the recorder keys that are on my laptop as the piano keys (fl studio has an option for this) and make my patterns and save money from buying at 25 key controller.

Attention to cable
Published on 03/01/12 at 01:10 (This content has been automatically translated from French)Keyboard size: no larger than a laptop and not bulky at all
UTILIZATION
The keys are a little hard, but I found it rather interesting.
The keyboard is automatically recognized under linux.
OVERALL OPINION
I used it nearly a year.
Then I had a problem with the USB cable:
- Cable male had a little glitch - a small metal bar delaminated.
- This little strip came off a metal bar of the socket. This bar crashed to the bottom of the connector and ... the keyboard is totally unusable.
So, beware when you usb cable connected to the keyboard ...00
