hiwite « Ultra-Flexible Keyboard »
Published on 09/08/10 at 03:13I bought this keyboard because it is comprehensive, 12 pads, 25 keys keyboard, 12 endless rotary controllers (X2 because there are two banks), arpeggiator.
Connectors: midi, usb.
UTILIZATION
The touch keyboard is correct but do not expect it to feel like a piano. It is perfect for computer music, synth controllers, or to create beats on the fly. The pads are for the mpc 500, they are a little hard at first but you get used to it. The manual is very comprehensive.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 6 months, all very solid and I chose the 25 keys, because I produce electronic music and I am not a real musician, and I do not have the technical background, I think that this keyboard really is for the producer who uses computer music, if you want a real rendering on the keyboard go for a 49.
The price was very high initially, however it can now be found at 250 euro new, it's still a bit expensive, but quality is there plus it has an arppegiator.
I tested several different keyboard innovation, m-audio, korg, none has the breadth of capabilities of akai, plus a more cosmetic finishing and superior, and it looks really nice and so I think I would make this choice again if I had to.
