    Akai Professional MIDI Drum Pad & Keyboard Controller with Joystick, Gig Bag for Micro Keyboards and Controllers,Gator Cases, AmazonBasics 4-Port USB

    • It's the perfect portable music tool!
    • This is quite good for what I use it for, making synthwave (check out buchty's SQL8 VST if you're writing synthwave, btw, amazing VST) and ambient music at home
    • Makes producing music much easier!
    • I absolutely love making music on this MIDI controller
    • Make amazing music with this mpk board
    • I'm mostly kidding about that last bit, but tools like this make it so much easier to record something that resembles respectable music.
    • I still haven’t figured out how to use this, but it turns out you need to download a music program like Fruity Loops or something
    • Makes amazing music with it
    • I chose this because of its popularity and price, however, installing and starting to make music is pretty difficult
    • Music pros might love
    • He loves music and was hoping this would keep his hands
    • My teen son is a beginner with making music and loves it!
    • As of right now I am pleased!!*music producer
    • Follow ALL the guides to setup and you will be on your way to produce some awesome music!!
    • There are tons of loops, kits, sounds plugins to get some great music of any genre created.
    • But keys are not like in a real piano - without proper pressure control, hard to press and you can't play complex music on it.
    • It sounded like it would be something really cool for a beginner like me to use to record some cool music
    • It has really helped improved my music making skills, and the quality of my music
    • I highly recommend it for beginners getting started with music production like myself
    • I won't even mention the annoying background music you have to listen to as you follow an online video on how to install the software, etc.
    • I'll echo a lot of the other low ranking comments here - I bought this for my son, who loves electronic music, and plays piano, so I thought it would be right up his alley.
    • Not much setup and installation is needed to be able to use it with your favorite music software and it uses USB connection, which is what makes it convenient and user-friendly, allowing compatibility with different systems or platforms and quick installation
    • Don't get me wrong, I like electronic music and getting to hit flashing pads as much as the other guy, but that was the
    • now i am able to make better music with less efforts
    • It's clear, neat, easy to use, and makes wonderful music out of many options I am so glad I got this
    • Im not a pro, but I tought having this kind of item can make music making much easier and kind of a more fun
    • If you can tap out the melody of a song, you can essentially write beautiful music
    • The portability is excellent and I still primarily use this controller for recording — even at home — instead of my larger and better M-Audio controllers
    • Worked well until the C, D and A keys on the lower octave all stopped working across all platforms
