Usb Midi Keyboard Controllers Reviews

My workstation is cluttered with USB devices, from keyboard/mouse to MIDI controllers. I needed a way to connect a MIDI keyboard controller further away from my computer, so I purchased this extension cable. Has been working great, no problems at all.

I was excited for this audio interface to come out because of the two headphone outputs for monitoring, multiple output port options on the back, in-built additional USB-A ports, and that it operates by USB-C. Also I heard great reviews online. The in-built usb ports are great, so that I don't have to have as many adapters from USB C to USB A for my laptop with other devices. I first heard of Arturia when I was in the market for a midi keyboard, and so far, they do not disappoint. A massive bonus for me is how this interface is much smaller than I expected, which is amazing. Plus, it comes with power plugs for different countries. It doesn't HAVE to be plugged in to power (unless you want to use the interface's additional in-built usb ports for something like a midi keyboard), so that is nice, but also good to have the ability for extra usb ports. It would be even better if it didn't have the need to be plugged in to get power to the usb ports to power my midi keyboard, but I can live with that compromise because I think that's just literally a physical necessity (I don't think there's anything out there at the time of writing that could do that without a power supply). The small form factor is great for me since I travel a lot, and I don't expect to need to replace this interface for a long time since it's perfect for my needs.

One of the best midi controllers I have ever used. I am able to control my euro rack to my computer and everything in between. Awesome

I bought this cable to connect my devices with USB type-B jacks (MIDI keyboard, USB microphone) directly into my iPad without the use of the Apple dongle. It works great, especially with the USB mic when I'm doing voiceover work in a mobile setting and want to minimize my kit.

Up until now, I could connect either a USB-audio headphone OR a USB-compliant MIDI keyboard to my USB-C iPad via a wired connection, but not both. This meant that one of the two – keyboard or headphone – had to be connected via Bluetooth. This is usually not a problem except when trying to record a live performance, where Bluetooth latency is frankly unacceptable. With the MiniFuse, however, both the keyboard and the headphone attach to the interface, and a single USB-C cable connects to the iPad. I have so many neat synth and other music creation apps on there that I can finally use live! This is HUGE for me. Note that the MiniFuse 4 supports up to 500 mA keyboards via its USB-hub, so long as it's plugged in, whereas the MiniFuse 2 supports only up to 250 mA devices, which cuts out most external USB-compliant MIDI keyboards. Yeah, it's a bit of a pain to have to plug the MiniFuse 4 to a wall socket to make it all work, but that's still just a single wire. Oh, also, I've connected some synths to the audio inputs, and I've been running both the headphone and main Audio outputs, as well as the loopback interface both with the iPad and my mac, and it all works and sounds fantastic. The manual takes a bit of careful reading to understand the possible routings (for me at least, I'm a newbie at this) but it's well written and I was able to figure it out pretty quickly. I didn't know I needed it, but now that I have the MiniFuse, I can't imagine not having it as the central hub to my synthesizer setup.

I needed to extend a Midi USB output from my keyboard to an iPad and type B USB extension cable was the only option. I wish there was a longer cable but this one will do. It works very well.

When combined with the widi bud usb dongle you have a truly wireless Bluetooth midi keyboard that is slim and works with negligible latency which is great for portable musicians and producers.

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 am just getting into MIDI. I'd heard great things about the Nektar MIDI controllers and I was particularly interested because they come with specific setup protocols for individual DAWS. I'm a reaper user and the Impact L25+ mated perfectly with it. Great value and a lot of capabilities for 99 bucks.

First, I have long admired Midi Controllers, Keyboards, Effects, and everything associated with digital music creation. There are several reviews out there by amazing creators with more detailed information, but after watching all of them, then pulling the trigger on this one, it was worth it. The build quality is nice, the feel of the pads is premium, and adjustments are quickly made. Plug and play, for the most part, depending on the DAV or website software you use. If you are looking for a little larger keyboard/Midi controller, this one should be at the top of your list, and it's only $60 more (at the time of writing this) than the AKAI MPK Mini, so what's stopping you?
