Korg microKEY 25 4-stars Reviews

Fine, nothing special but a handy portable tool.

Mod joystick lacks durability and feels like the cheapest of plastics but for the price and what it's designed for, it works just fine.

Just what I needed

Exactly what I, personally, needed.

If youre a proffessional keyboard/piano player, it might not be just your thing, but for me, after having a 64 midi controller that I barely touched, this little thing suits me just fine.

keys are soft, the sustain control is very handy, and due to its small size it sits perfect on my desk and obviously very mobile.

it doesnt make any sound by itself so that cant be judged, So all in all, I feel like its the right tool to make me a better keyboard player

Wonderfully small but feature packed!

Fits perfectly into my drawers. 1 key too small to play Whiter Shade of Pale without transposing, though...

Gets the job done.

I bought this as a small desktop keyboard for inserting simple synth lines into demo tracks and for that it does the job admirably. Obviously it takes a bit of getting used to as the keys are smaller, but it's surprisingly playable once you adjust. It's class-compliant so you don't need to install anything, just plug in and away you go.

The velocity sensitivity is a bit flaky I find - it does work, but it's tricky to control. The joystick is a novel alternative to the usual wheels - it has a small range of movement which means it's not as easy to use, but, as it can control two parameters at once you can do some cool effects with it that would be difficult to do with two wheels. The arpeggiator is a nice feature too.

The bundled software was a disappointment though. It's all severely stripped down versions basically, and not worth the needlessly complicated online process you have to go through to get it.
