## Description

Alesis VI25 25 Key USB MIDI Semi Weighted Keyboard Controller with 16 Pads, 8 Assignable Knobs

Review: Tenía en mi estudio un kurzweil maravilloso pero que es muy pesado y ocupa toda la mesa. Mi uso con el midi se limita a transcripción y poca cosa más, así que decidi comprar este controlador. Me gusta porque me ha dejado muchísimo espacio en la mesa y trabajo más cómodo. Aunque las teclas no son de gran calidad, tienen el tamaño normal. No ha sido fácil configurarlo con cubase aunque seguro que es culpa mía por no estar muy familiarizado con este tipo de aparatos. Ya le estoy sacando partido porque el trabajo es mucho más fluido y, quién sabe, igual hasta me adentro más en el uso de los instrumentos virtuales.
Review: so this midi keyboard is pretty sweet. As for the actual product its everything it says it is! Nothing feels cheap i was looking for a midrange midi keyboard with enough features to last me for awhile if i really get into music production and this defiantly fits! Its pretty thick, heavy and soild feeling which i wasn't expecting so not the most portable thing in the world but i didnt buy it for that as thats not what its advertised for. its also long because the drum pads are on the left instead of above the keys but its perfect that way for a keyboard tray so you don't have to reach over it. also the pitch and mod wheel is what really sold me on this initially, because they often leave them off most keyboards in this price range and they feel really nice! aesthetic as **** this whole thing lights up blue and looks beautiful the semi weighted keys are really nice feeling and the drum pads are a little stiff feeling but its nice to help you fully take advantage of the velocity sensitivity. This is a truly great product for the price and obviously a brand that really cares about quality and usability im very new to music producing so setting up this thing was pretty tough considering i dont know what im doing. Turns out you just install ableton and plug it in then it automaps.... the actual downloads from the alesis website are basically a bunch of optional freeware execpt for the program that allows you to remap the board but thats pretty much just for standalone use (not usb plugged in). but just use ableton if you dont already have a DAW.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how do the keys "feel" compared to an actuall piano key? i have found that alot of lower priced keyboards hav a spongey kinda feel.**
A: These keys are semi weighted. This means that when you press down on them they have light to moderate resistance when pressed and will return less springy than a cheaper synth. Think between a regular piano and a cheap synth and that's the feel you get.

**Q: What cable or usb hub should I buy to connect to my iPad Pro 9.3.1 128g? Please provide a tested/confirmed product that works, not connection type.**
A: The apple camera connector and a USB B cable you will also need a powered usb hub or buy the power adapter the keyboard requires too much power for the iPad

**Q: does this work with garageband**
A: Yup

**Q: does it plug into ac**
A: I dont believe so. It is a midi controller and I assume it is purely usb-buss powered. It may have the option for AC incase you don't wish to strain your laptop battery but I am unsure as it is unreleased yet. By the way if you didn't know this is a midi controller and cannot standalone or produce sounds without being connected to a computer or to analog/digital hardware such as a synth or drum machine.

*by S***G on 20 January 2019*

I got this after a disaster with a cheaper, poorer quality purchase, returned as it did not work out of the box. I had read up a bit more for my next purchase and opted for the V125. Glad I did. As a music hobbyist it fits in well with my requirements. Full size piano keys as I am use to, programmable controllers, very good build quality and upto date drivers for my MAC. Plugged in and set off. What more can I say, except it works for me and I am more than pleased, especially after paying that extra and getting a class piece of kit.
