Akai Pro LPK25 Laptop Performance Keyboard Reviews
| 105 of 106 people found the following review helpful  EXCELLENT SONG WRITTING TOOL., By Yucano (Tampa, FL, USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Akai Pro LPK25 Laptop Performance Keyboard (Electronics) Akai Pro LPK25 Laptop Performance KeyboardOVERALL IMPRESSION: NOT A TOY! This is an excellent songwriting tool, that makes music making on the go a reality. Not intended to replace your main MIDI controller. DISCLAIMER: I am an amateur musician making songs mostly to share with family and friends. Also, guitar is my native instrument, and my keyboard skills still leave much to be desired. That being said: I LOVE THIS DEVICE!! PROS: -PORTABILITY AND SMALL FOOTPRINT. I can take this thing with me anywhere and it does not take much space in my laptop bag or work-surface. I have a 20"x20" wood board that I use as a work-surface for my laptop, mouse, LPK25, and headphones. Using that setup I composed whole songs in my bed, sofa, dinner table, backyard chair, passenger seat of my car (at...

Forget the Korg Nano keys, get this!, By This review is from: Akai Pro LPK25 Laptop Performance Keyboard (Electronics) I purchased a Korg Nano Keys yesterday and did not like the "button" like keys you had to play on. I could not tell what notes I was hitting without looking at the keyboard. (My old piano teacher would have been cracking the backs of my hands with a ruler for looking...lol).I traded the Korg in for the Akai LPK25 (which I did know existed till last night!). It was [...] more, but so worth it! This thing is much better built than the Korg. The Korg felt like it might break in my laptop bag. This is much more solid. It is about twice as thick as the Korg, but still small enough to put in your messenger bag or laptop case. No drivers needed, just plug it in and you are ready to go. Sustain button is a nice feature that the Korg did not have. Only drawback about the sustain is that you cannot shift octaves and add more notes while holding the sustain button down. The octave buttons light up but could have used a...

I travel often and it's perfect for that. Still, there are two major annoyances so I can't give it five stars. Four may actually be a bit generous.The keys have a spongy feel and I do not like the velocity curve. It feels like an instrument more than a toy and it is possible to play expressively, though for me it requires much concentration to hit the keys hard enough to make a sound yet soft enough to avoid running out of velocity response. I could not find any evidence that it is possible to program the velocity curve. A worse annoyance is that, according to the manual, it requires the included software to change the midi channel. Since I use the keyboard with Linux I have not yet been able to change the channel from 1. Things I thought would work, like depressing "program" and "up" have no effect. It is possible to use the included software to program four presets but that would still yield a maximum of four preset... Read more |
