Midiplus AK490

good

good controller, for what i need is perfect, can be with usb or midi great for the price

almost perfect keyboard

I bought this keyboard a while back and it suits my needs almost perfectly, its got 4 octaves, which for me is plenty. Its got pitch bend to the side and a mod wheel which is usually vibrato by default. I bought it as a controller for both software and hardware synths, and it does work fine for most. The only mark against it that I can see is that for some reason the MIDI out will NOT work with my Roland GR-20 Guitar Synth module. I dont know if its a fault with the keyboard or the module (the module is 2nd hand) but that's literally the only slight against this keyboard. other than that, its works perfectly with every other module I have, even other Roland modules too. Well worth buying for simple, basic needs of playing/learning to play without all the extra knobs, buttons and sliders to complicate it! Perfect for beginners!

Does its job. For the Price. But ...

That keyboard is very good. I'm not an expert but it feels solid, the keys are well balanced (IMO, for me), but ... (I should have read on the description) : no way to set the Velocity level...

But for the Price, does perfectly its job.
