What happened to arturia

[@fredlgx]

Terribly bad review. First the title has been changed to mention best of 2024, but is 3 year old, with some of the products no longer available. The content is probably AI generate, and on any case very poor.for example « safe to use certified », or inconsistent use of « touch sensitive » feature vs after touch. Many time image don’t match the product review. Seems like poorly executed automatically generated content.

[@mattythecityzen4875]

I’ve had my MPK 249 for a little over a year now and I highly recommend it to anyone starting off. For that price range I think it’s the best. I wish it had weighted keys but it’s easy to play and the pads are touch sensitive so it works great for making percussion beats.

[@archer8366]

Have the M-Audio Keystation 49 MK3 and it rocks!!

[@vladkokavec8206]

I would recommend this interesting video to a friend who is a beginner musician and wants to learn more about these things.Thanks for posting

[@nickvledder]

Why isn’t there any Arturia in the list?

[@ryananthony4840]

I would guess they didn't make top 5

[@jeremytee2919]

Because this is a shill list. Top five (insert year) is the dead give away.

[@rajinderprasadmusicproduction]

Title of video must be like Best midi keyboards available at lowest price but not consider as best midi keyboard. All the matter is with video title here but overall the guy has provided good information for beginners . Love from india for all midi lovers

[@ricardoo.8042]

excellent video, One question, What do you think about M-Audio OXYGEN 49 IV? Regards.

[@Nawazaahr]

Oxygen is good, but Oxygen Pro is the best in its price range.

[@karl9411]

NI Kontrol Number 1 . I have one but its really for NI and cumbersome outside of that .I use my Arturia key step 37 more given its size on my descend its flexibility and the Behringer Model with ableton .These are far superior for various jobs rather than immersed or stuck in NI which is becoming universally boring .

[@danlund1477]

Great video, indeed. A MIDI keyboard controller is an essential piece of music gear in today’s home studio. The challenge is choosing the best one to fit both your budget and your needs. Roland A 49 looks amazing! Cheers!

[@MrPeet2709]

#1 Arturia Keylab MK2 : pros build Quality ( metal ), connectivity, keyboard, Analog Lab integration , DAW integration, easy to program user configurations .

[@Pulse2AM]

Does it have semi-weighted keys?

[@AudioReplica2023]

@@Pulse2AM I'm still waiting for his response on that too 😐

[@alchemistrpm82]

@@Pulse2AM Yes. It’s a high quality controller in line with NIs Komplete Kontrol. Better build quality though, aluminum and wood paneling, it’s made similar to the Matrix Brute synth. Very nice.

[@Pulse2AM]

@@alchemistrpm82 Thanks. There's a difference between synth action and semi-weighted keys. Do you know which one it has?

[@alchemistrpm82]

the alesis all day just for the way they arrange everything

[@markbruggeman274]

Would you say it's better to use the MPK 261 with both the USB-cable + a power-adapter?

[@eedleate]

Had to write this review off when Alesis vi49 was complimented. Try playing in five flats on this keybed. It’s like running a 100 yard dash in hip waders. Everything is great except the keybed, which is horrible.

[@dilankarun9172]

Title say's Top 5 keyboards for 2023, yet all the comments are from 3 yrs ago... seriously ! Click bait anyone ?. A lot has changed in 3 yrs. M-Audio Oxgen pro's have aftertouch, the M-Audio you listed here doesn't. No mention of Arturia's Keylab MK3 ? No mention of Novation's MK3 ? Oh wait, that's right, this stuff is from 3 yrs.

[@karlaluzardo3354]

excellent method friend it has worked for me 100% I recommend it without a doubt

[@mackenzydan9279]

The best midi controller keyboards have all these features. Just take a look at the video. It's a very simple yet powerful keyboard that's not only good for sequencing music, but also gives you the ability to play other virtual instruments. Great information from you thanks.

[@parthachakraborty1705]

Please let me know the best keyboard which fit for FL Studio. Just like: 1. Komplete Kontrol S61 2. Arturia KeyLab 61 MkII 3. Novation Launchkey 61 MK3 4. Novation 61SL MK3 5. Nektar Panorama P series Please advise better than FL Key37. Where are these keyboards what I've mentioned above & where is FL Key37. Day & night comparison! Money doesn't matter for everyone, some people want good one which is better & also best for FL Studio! I'm looking to buy one! Thank you...!

[@dianapipek]

Nice presentation of top 5 Best Keyboard Controller. I think that Alesis VI49 model looks interesting. Thanks for details.

[@paulwangmacbookprowidjaja7640]

Oops, only number 1 my office not selling as distributor - but I love the brand. Still wondering why there is no Arturia?

[@bahtyah_malaika769]

Is the Alesis VI49 Compatible with mpc beats or fl studio?

[@johnsuggs3952]

FL Studio, yes MPC, not sure. But you can map it even if its not set up already to work with it

I always wanted to learn to play these, n.4 looks like is perfect for beginners like me

[@coversongsonkeyboards]

Wow so much information in just few minutes this is cool , i like it

[@TechsYouCantLiveWithout]

Glad you liked it!

[@shekinahmultimediaproducti6362]

I have the Arturia MKll 61, AKAI MPK 261, and the Novation SL MkIII each has great DAW control every bit as formidable as the Komplete Keyboard controller! and Modular control. The Arturia is built is Solid. The Novation MKlll may be the best Keyboard controller of them all. It does what they all do and an Internal eight-track pattern-based sequencer!

[@kowboykelley4678]

I had the mpk249 and the arturia keystep pro until i learned about the slmkiii. Sold both right away and am much happier with one piece of gear that does the job of two!

[@ShadowD2C]

which one has the best keys ?

[@shekinahmultimediaproducti6362]

[@kostinatrnava7779]

Can anyone tell me which ( Im mainly interested in the Akai midi 37 key one ) midi keyboard works with Linux or if its easy to configure it in the Wine emulator ?

[@SONLE-kr2yj]

Great. This is what I'm looking for. Thank you very much.

[@ParkerCharlesGabriel]

Can you tell me how well the Akai 249 works with Abelton Live??

[@douglasharvey7261]

Nice video. Looking for an upgrade to my CME UF6 (which kept popping up between keyboards on show, lol). There are not many with the same specs. I know the UF6 is 61 keys not 49, but usually the differences are only the number of keys.

[@mikeangelo2290]

How was it possible to have this video stating on devices on 2023 while this videos was uploaded 2 years ago ????

[@ivanyokhna]

AKAI MPK249 is great only for studio work and DAWS. Advantages: Compact, good pads. Disadvantages: 1. Not suitable for live stage work with external keyboard/Modules. Since AKAI keyboard transmits only one midi channel at a time 1 -16 global , which makes impossible using multitimbral midi channels all at ones and Impossible within the AKAI to split key zones, layers etc. 2. Keyboard rubber buttons are failed within couple of years of use. Some keys not playing at all, some keys giving high peak velocities which require cleaning and servicing. 3.Sustain pedal polarity is not configurable in the menu of AKAI. If sustain pedal does not have switch , buy new appropriate pedal . 4.Lack of soft editors and customer support. 5. Akai fails working connected to USB hub, but only connected strait to the computer or via adapter. Number of times is not recognized by Windows 10.

[@yuyu_skaholic]

Arturia Keylan MK2 49 or 61 is the best

[@Emma_Robertson]

Thank you so much for your honest unbiased opinion! Really helped me choose on which one to get that’s suitable for me :) keep up the hard work, just subbed and already love the channel!

What about Novation MKIII?

[@alphahunter4791]

The Launchkey MKIII has a lot of the features these controllers have but I feel like it doesn't excel in any of it's features. Good starter keyboard but very mid in my opinion.

[@fillentropy6519]

serious FAIL not mentioning the Novation SL MK3.... Not even close, it is far better than the Komplete. missing out.

[@brandonmoss7976]

Nektar T4 is better than all of these keyboards and can work with all 3rd party vsts and aftertouch...

[@tsukinowa777]

I really hate MPK249 key touch.

[@sheriffderek]

Why do all of these controllers have to feel like shit? I have an MPK249 (an older one) - and it's not horrible. I replaced the pads with MPCstuff Thick/fat pads - because the ones that came on it were 100% absolute trash. I tried soooo many controllers. All the new ones are absolute crap. I'd be happy to pay thousands of dollars for a decent controller - but they just don't exist anymore. I did find one controller in Europe that felt like a DX7 which was pretty great.

[@twarofficial]

shame it has no drum pads
