Brogan Beatmaker « very good keyboard »
Published on 10/06/10 at 12:35
Best value:
Excellent
Pads:
16 Pads (against 12 aux MPK 25 and 49)
Full level and 16 level as in the MPD and MPC if I'm not mistaken.
Note Repeat
4 Banks of 16 Pads.
Keyboard:
61 keys (Aftertouch and arpeggiator)
Controller:
72 assignable Q-Link Controller
Keys Play, Stop, Rec. .
Connectivity:
USB
MIDI In / Out
2 Foot Switch
1 Expression Pedal
USB powered or plug into a non-provided.
UTILIZATION
Touch Keyboard pleasant but nothing more. I find it better than my other keyboard M-Audio Oxygen 49 and slightly more enjoyable than my E-MU Xboard61.
Suited my use (Hiphop, film music, Electro)
Simple configuration, just a little trouble at the assignment level but a little research on Google and it will seem like child's play.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 1 year or so.
I had the opportunity to try several other models such as:
All M-AUDIO series
The E-MU Xboard61
The MPK49, MPK 88
What I prefer:
The 16 pads, very pleasant to compose drums.
The 61 keys comfortable for all (enough to compose music for film and not too much to compose HipHop. I think that 49 is perfect for Hip-Hop but not enough to compose music for film)
The 8 assignable faders
The price/quality ratio is good as the quality is very good. It is not an investment to take lightly because MPK 61 is enough even when it is expensive enough. I think if you just want to compose only hip-hop and electro, the MPK49 is sufficient.
With exprience, I would repeat this choice without a doubt.
