Controller-keyboard

Engineered to be an all-in-one controller solution, the Akai Professional MPK225 is a compact performance pad and keyboard controller that combines deep software integration, enhanced workflow, and core technologies from the iconic line of MPC workstations.

MPK225 comes equipped with 25 semi-weighted, full-size keys and a premium piano-style keybed for unprecedented response and natural feel. Each key is velocity-sensitive and outfitted with aftertouch for dynamic, expressive performances and recordings. In addition, onboard Octave Up and Down controls allow players to access the entire melodic range; play bass lines, piano harmony, solo leads and much more.

Two high-definition virtual synthesizers bring the best of synthesis technology to MPK225 users. Hybrid 3, by AIR Music Tech, is a versatile virtual synthesizer that combines the warmth of legendary analog synths with a full range of futuristic, digital manipulation capabilities.

Son coté tout plastique fait un peu toc mais fait le job , répond bien , mais les touches sont trop petite à mon gout pour du live j'ai du coup un autre clavier pour du "vrai" jeu et celui ci pour des manip plus prod ou automatisés
l'arpégiator est sympas
Je le reconfigure pour une utilsation sur ableton

Il fait son job... mais les touches sont vraiment petites je n'utilise plus que l'arpegiateur sur ce clavier je préfère jouer et composer sur un clavier plus large.

Ce mini-clavier est vraiment pratique : petit donc facilement transportable pour des répéts et concerts, et on peut arriver à composer très vite des musiques avec un logiciel comme Ableton Live. Perso, je n'utilise pas les échantillons. Par contre, la connectique USB est assez fragile, ne pas le laisser aux mains des enfants.
