[@L3AD]

Hi bro, I need some urgent help from you. 1) are keys feel like hammer action/synth action? Are the keys weighted/semi weighted or what? 2) is it fully velocity sensitive? Can it give 127 velocity at the highest fingure pressure? 3) Is there any problem that you have faced on the Midi? Please help me...

[@LuchoTapia]

I have the same doubts. Did you try it? Regards!

Hello! Thanks for your video, it was really useful. Do you know if the keys response is better than the nektar SE49?

cool video! I have fl-studio, do you think this keyboard will be good for that (if you know about fl studio?) I know some midi key have problem with fl studio like korg 50

Excellent information brother, which do you think is the best option, the Alesis Q49 MKII or the NEKTAR IMPACT GX49? (both without pads)

[@TheCodeDealer]

Wait a minute, How come you are pressing just by little force? Mine I have to press really hard to produce a sound

[@IvanWheatman]

dunno, maybe try using another plugin - if the problem remains, probably you got a defect one

[@gordyrroy]

what's the sample you're using? Are you using the 8-Track program while playing? I have to, or it doesn't make any sounds. Please I need help. I want to have my keyboard sounding like an actual piano.

Da Lil Boyz I had pretty much the same choice, but found this one better for me personally. No reasons, just taste

[@maryl.4506]

Hi!I kind of decided to buy it but I want to be certain about something.If I connect it to my computer,I will be able to hear it through my computer's speakers.If I further connect my computer to an audio system like a monitor etc(using a mixer) will I still be able to hear ?

[@IvanWheatman]

Hi! Basically you won't hear it through your PC without a software that can receive and process MIDI - keep in mind it is not a standalone piano with built-in sounds, but a MIDI controller. There is a wide variety of MIDI and VST plugins and software though. I would recommend digging into the theory a little bit before you buy it.

[@worldinfo1014]

What are the cons of having a midi keyboard like this over something like casio ctk x700 and what are the pros of having this over ctk x700

[@blisssenseripzyzz4evermiri176]

the obvious one is that you can't play it standalone since it has no built in sound/speakers, i've had ctk 3500, ctk 2300 and another one and they all stopped working at some point. The USB port on one of them stopped working after only 1.5 year of light use, the other stopped receiving power via adapter, it only worked with batteries and the last one had a cheap feeling and it had the same problem with the USB, entry level casios are poorly made and for higher end boards you want yamaha so I don't recommend them at all.

[@viralfans5501]

BROTHER , WHATS YOUR VELOCITY CURVE YOU HAVE USED IN THIS VIDEO , I HAVE ALSO GX61 ,

[@IvanWheatman]

Not sure that i got the idea, mate :) I just plugged the keyboard to my laptop and processed it via kontakt with cinematic studio piano

[@topexrachman]

Is this keyboard not have velocity?

[@amirf3111]

I already own one and there is a big problem with it, half of the way that keys can be stroke is empty as a gap, so the sound comes when you have pushed the button more than half of it's total space to when it is fully pressed. And this really annoys me.

[@IvanWheatman]

sorry to hear that. I don't use mine that often so haven't experienced this trouble, probably it comes with time

keys are normal in my opinion... they are not as hard as expected, but not as soft as a regular synth, so it is nice to feel a bit of resistance when pressing the keys... not bad...

[@tamta814]

Does this work with audacity?

[@IvanWheatman]

Here is what google says about it: "Audacity cannot record MIDI input, only import and play MIDI files. Audacity cannot be directly controlled by a MIDI controller, though Bome's MIDI Translator (Windows and Mac) can translate MIDI commands to standard keystrokes which Audacity can then recognize as keyboard shortcuts" Haven't tested it myself tho.

I just got this keyboard. The keys feel really stiff, which is ok for synth stuff but for piano stuff like this I find it much more difficult to play than my old M-Audio Keyrig. Are the keys in yours stiff as well?

[@IvanWheatman]

actually not that much. i have some complains about the velocity, but the keyboard itself is pretty nice feeling

[@True_Necroholic]

Ya I hate the velocity. No matter what curve I select I find I cannot play as softly as I would like. I try to play some Chopin or Satie and notes are missing all over the place because I pressed the keys "too softly". I dislike how the keys must be fully released in order to be played again. I'm going to return mine and go back to M-Audio

[@MrYarabandi]

HammerDimension I am thinking of getting a MIDI key for the first time. And my main instrument is guitar. It's going to fulfill the love I feel for classical music, black metal and ambient.
