I have this keyboard. no complaints, works great under mac and linux. I like how simple it is too. I just use it to play a synth I built in Pure Data though, no DAW stuff.

This is the Perfect EXACTLY what i wanted for my Decision making.
just want to ask about the keypress NOISE, is it too loud?

[KassianiDimitriadou]

Best keyboard review ever, thank you!

[KordTaylor]

❤ Thanks for the great video. Really helpful. Do you still use the Nektar? Thanks again.

Ola Gustavo! Tem chance de atualizar o link onde faz o download do codigo no video onde constroi controlador MIDI parte 3, por favor?? Seus videos estao me ajudando muito a comecar mexer com eletrônica

[mourning]

ok! could you just teach us more about the buttons on the left, CTRL ASSIGN, TRANSP, OCT PANIC, etc. I have a nektar se49 and still with the instructions is hard to follow

[stevemilani]

Thanks for the great review. I was wondering why you chose the 49 instead of the 61 key model.

[User-ikkc]

The buttons above the play and stop etc do work for me!

Great review! But, a question unrelated to the keyboard: what do you call the stand that goes under the desk for the controller? I've been looking for it but can't find anything.

[AndrewPRoberts]

1:16 Sounds minor, but the Alesis V49 does NOT haver a power switch, which is honestly more annoying than you would expect.

[JerryWacky]

Which would you prefer? This keyboard or the similarly priced Arturia Minilab 3?

[chrisyin]

Thanks for the video as well as all your other content on how to build arduino midi controllers. Your content is very easy to understand and your videos are nicely done. This one made me get a used GX49. I can’t find the software/scripts to integrate with Garage Band. Because I got it used and the serial number sticker is ripped, I cannot register a device and download on the Nektar page. Any idea where/how I can get that?
Thanks 🤘

What about the velocity while playing synth or recording synth. K want the synth lead volume to be equal unlike playing a grand piano

[kenlynnyrd]

hi good day. i am planning to buy a midi keyboard controller. can i use it in church live with a layering sound. can the sliders be mapped as a volume trigger/ control for every sound layer? thank you in advance.

[inosokope]

Hey i use it mainly to play the piano using garage band at the moment lol. Do you have any tips on how to use the buttons on the keyboard and also how to use a sustain pedal with it? I bought one but i feel like garage band doesn’t recognize the pedal input… Oh and i have the 88 Key midi so there is a top row of instrument selections which doesnt work for me atm

[advancedvisualproduction]

I appreciate your review! Your playing is great

[tfmaus]

bem legal! sou iniciante, queria saber se 4 oitavas é tranquilo para tocar a duas mãos?

[omarkhayrat]

HELLO DEAR
CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME ?!
G key on the midi = G# on FL studio keys, , i dont know how to setup the transposer

[keithdunwoody]

The keybed sounds pretty quiet from what I can tell. What's your impression a year on?

[wolfie]

can I connect it to my PC with USB since it doesnt have MİDİ connect. I want to use CUBASE AND KONTAKT
