     Nice

    Keys are semi heavy allowing a better expression.
    Pads good

    UTILIZATION

    Huge advantage for this controller is its ease of configuration, we chose a software to pilot it and hop we play. Advanced configuration (eg pad sensitivity ...) is very instinctive.
    The manual is very clear and effective.

    OVERALL OPINION

    So firstly sorry for the delay in this review because I just read my AF mail box and since this whole year I did not realize I was the only (former) owner of MPK25 .
    First, it is a very good machine and if I had to make the choice again, I would just ... not this choice!
    I will take a higher end model, for the number of octaves.
    I seriously recommend this machine…

    I have long worked on the hardware (s2000, esi4000, mpc etc ... but also on nb midi controllers) and I think that the MPK25 coupled with good sequencer and sampler (software or hardware) plus a little talent, well it's a very good quick and easy way to reproduce the ideas and concepts that we urgently need to materialize, but also an effective workstation when we want to examine in depth a title and work on the details.

    What characteristics have motivated your choice? keyboard pads and knobs!
    What connector (MIDI pedals ...)? plugged into USB on the computer that's all.

    UTILIZATION

    The touch keyboard is it nice?
    yes it is awesome! Slightly heavier than my Yamaha synth, I love it!

    Utilisation?
    Perfect, but maybe a little too much
    The general configuration is simple?
    Personally with fruity loops there is no simpler, we do right click - to assign controller - hit the key which corresponds on the akai and it works.

    The selection of MIDI channels, patches is easy?
    hummm.

    The manual is clear and sufficient?
    it has not served me and it is annoying

    OVERALL OPINION

    For how long have you been using it?
    4months
    What thing do you like most/least about it?
    touch pads, knobs are very great.

    Did you try many other models before getting this one?
    none
    What is your opinion about the value for the price? Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? Maybe a little expensive for a simple controller, but well it is the only good one at this price/quality  range so yes I would do it again..
