Learn Piano With Midi Controller

The Vpc1 is the best midi controller on the market. As per my research from other reviews on various piano sites, the included foot pedal really is garbage. Out of the box, it has a flutter which is visible in my daw and is audible. Shame on Kawai for not changing this pedal for all the years they have been selling the Vpc1. Many reviewers went through the process of returning the foot pedal and getting a new one only to find after a couple of weeks the noise and flutter was back. Mine is already on the closet shelf and my Roland rp 3 pedal arrives tomorrow along with a purchase of a Midi Expression iO to compliment the new pedal with the Vpc1. So if you buy the Vpc1, just know you may need to spend another $300 for the perfect setup.

I am throughly please with this keyboard midi controller. The action is so much like a regular piano. The build is a good quality, and while it doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles (which can sometimes get in the way), it performs flawlessly. This keyboard is worth twice the price. If you’re thinking of buying it, do it.

Im not a pianist but I know just enough to be dangerous and want to learn more, so I thought Id grab a midi controller and do some learning. The Nektar Impact LX25+ fits the bill. It works with my various DAWs, the keys feel good, and its easy to use. My only regret is that I wish Id bought something with even more keys, but for the price, this ones hard to beat!

Best affordable piano midi keyboard period .

holds my midi controller perfectly, real nice.

Top quality cables. Work perfectly with my midi controller.

I use this microphone for DJing, plugs directly into my midi controller and sounds crystal clear.

Bought this for my kids to learn to play piano. The feeling of the keys is very much like a real piano.

I use it with my Yamaha Disklavier piano to stream midi directly from my phone. Even without Yamaha's own app, it just works right out of the box with the particular apps I've been using to stream.

I am a 65 y.o. male returning to keyboards who stopped playing the organ at age 12. It's never too late, right? This piano is very suitable for my needs. Easy to learn the functions. I especially like the Record feature. This keyboard is simply a pleasure to use. In fact, my father-in-law, a very talented musician, enjoys this Prestige Artist as well. His final words after putting this piano through its paces, was, This is not a toy. It's the real thing. And you're gonna have a LOT of fun with this machine! And he was right! I use this keyboard with a popular online learning application. NOTE: If you're planning to use the midi output by plugging it into an iPad gen 2's USB input, do NOT plug in the midi cord until after the piano has powered up. If you don't, your Alesis may not power up. The stand for this keyboard is perfect. Not only is it very stable and looks great, but it's super easy to take apart and move if you need to relocate your piano in your house. Just 6 easy screws gets the job done. Less than a minute with a power screwdriver, to lift the keyboard off the stand. Easy peasy.
