Novation Zero Sl Mkii Usb Midi Controller

+ I bought this Akai MPK Mini MKII MIDI controller because I tend to have a creative itch that I have to scratch sometimes and lugging my Akai MPK25 can be tedious if you know the size and weight compared to this MPK Mini MKII, which is about 3 times the depth, twice the height, and a little wider too, but the weight is like quardruple at least. I work with FL Studio for producing music and this helps me mess around and build some songs. + What I love about it is not only its compactness, They give you enough controls to work with. You can't go all out, but you can get plenty done with this model when on the go. It fits in my Think Tank Urban Disguise 60 V2.0 bag, along with my 15' Sony VAIO laptop, Wacom Intuos Pro SE Medium tablet, and a Cooler Master cooling pad. Adds almost an unnoticeable weight. The pads are definitely more responsive than the MPK25 actually. + What I don't like about it is that the dials have a min and max. I honestly like the infinite dials. I tweaked my Lightroom to accept and map MIDI controller for use in Lightroom (ex: having an dial to control your basic adjustments). I can't really use this for that purpose, but the MPK 25 works very nicely for that reason. I'm excited that B&H is about to sell Loupedeck this upcoming August 2017! + Overall? This is a nice treat to have for anyone who messes with music producing. When I found out such a thing existed (I'm kinda late), I had to order one immediately!

4/17/2020 To ALL of you The On-Stage 61 Note Keyboard Cover (Black) dust cover is fix on the Samson Carbon 61 - USB/MIDI Keyboard Controller when NOT in use, even it's fit it on there on the keyboard stand and there's no problem, even I left the USB cable on until I can be use it agian while I am learning how to use the Samson Carbon 61 - USB/MIDI Keyboard Controller in a little bit at a time

I use this to connect my Novation Launchkey Mini MK3 (which has a Type-A TRS 1/8 MIDI Out connection on the back) to the 5-pin MIDI In connection on the back of my recently-purchased Novation Circuit Tracks. Works like a charm!

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.

This little Midi Box is a welcome addition to my Midi Configuration Studio needs. At first I was reluctant to purchase it because I felt it was a bit expensive for a Midi Interface... but it is worth it. Here's why Pros Excellent Build Quality, solid top grade materials and it looks good Works without the need for driver installation, so easy plug and play 8 Standard 5 Pin Midi Ports Plus 3 USB 3.0 Ports and a USB Host Port which gives me lots of options for all of my gear Automatic signal detection is great. Allows each MIDI port to work as an input or output LED Indicator Lights let you know what's going on In Standalone (without a computer) there are 3 modes with a dedicated Mode Selector, 1 Midi In to 7 Outs, MIDI thru and MIDI merge configurations You can use it as a Stand Alone or USB Host mode Ships with USB Cable and 5V Power Supply, yes they include a power supply! Cons Price but NOT really this is one well built, powerful Midi Interface that is loaded with Connection and Interface Options. I think it is worth the money for what it offers.

I had the Keylab61 MKII, but needed the hammer-action keys for orchestral arrangments, and just because I like the feel of a real piano. I read reviews that said the action is heavy, it is, but not in a bad way. Most real pianos I have played have a heavier action so maybe I am used to it. Connectivity: Yeah, it's amazing with Cubase. I found a script online and I was off to the races. I open up the MIDI control center and adjust some user defined MIDI CC presets for a lot of my orchestral VST's, and easy peasy. Build Quality: The Komplete Kontrol everyone hems and haws about is plastic and more expensive, it also doesn't integrate as well as they would like you to believe. This thing is metal, and beautiful with wood accents. No, you don't get a big LCD screen, like I need another screen, I have two 32 screens already. Bottom line, if you want something that you can feel expressive on, has all the MIDI sliders and knobs you need to fiddle about, or make your orchestral arrangements sound more realistic, this is it. I love my Arturia. They are like teenage engineering but affordable.

this controller controls EVERYTHING would need it to, and is a cobination of a GREAT midi controller for beats, and an EVEN BETTER control surface...the key for me is the LARGE FONT LCD....no more squinting with reason, i dont even have much need to look anywhere else, it almost feels like a stand alone device....AWESOME NEKTAR

Securely connects between laptop and midi controller with no issues or interruptions in data. Great value.
