This is a great instrument that has been fun to jam with my kid. We're new to keyboards, so I am not using many features and can't speak to them. I however do have larger hands and the keys are compact, so have caution when buying. The keys I would say are just a bit too small and smushed together than I would like, and that's why I'm giving the 4 instead of a 5. Great tool and nice LED. Haven't tested the Bluetooth, I use it wired.

It's super easy to use and really versatile. The compact size makes it easy to carry around, and the pink color adds a fun vibe to my setup. The buttons and knobs feel great, and the customization options have helped me streamline my workflow. For the price, it’s hard to beat. If you need a solid, affordable MIDI controller, this one's a great pick.

A cute and functional little MIDI keyboard perfect for my small setup. I’m a professional musician who works in electronic music with a looper, and this works great for my needs. The pad sensitivity is pretty good for such a small board and the keys hook up with Garage Band perfectly. I loved that it came in three colors instead of just the plain black.

I ordered this MIDI controller to use with Voice Meter to control my audio levels during my live streams.The controller felt and looked very nice when I got it. It actually had a bit of weight to it and feels well made. It feels like you can toss it into a bag, and it will be fine. As it's meant to be portable with its built-in rechargeable battery, this is how it is meant to be used. This is not how I'm using it. It has been living on my desk within easy reach.It was easy to configure and figure out. I'm only using the faders and a few of the buttons to mute some sources. The one thing I felt that it felt short is that the LEDs for the buttons cannot be controlled remotely, they just toggle. As long as you do not toggle those things in the program you are controlling, it's fine. But if you toggle a mute in the program, it's not updated on the controller, and it will be out of sync. I only control these sources from the MIDI controller so it's not an issue for me.I'm not using the Bluetooth function as I just have it connected using USB. It greatly helps my workflow as I do not have to toggle over to the streaming PC to adjust or mute a source while gaming on the other PC.

I love this thing. It has a small profile on your desk, but the pads are large enough to play it comfortably. It's smaller than the MPD218. I've owned both and I prefer how this because it gives you more room on your desk without sacrificing quality or playability. The smaller size also makes it a more mobile than the MPD218.The pads are responsive and sensitive, the price is good, it looks nice (I didn't realize how much I'd like the aesthetic of this, but it's really satisfying to walk into my room and see this little drum pad lit up on my desk)What's not to like?

I'm absolutely blown away by its versatility and ease of use. The compact size makes it easy to transport, and its pink color adds a fun touch to my music production setup. The buttons and knobs have a great feel to them, and I've been able to streamline my workflow tremendously with the customization options. Plus, the price is unbeatable for all the features you get. If you're looking for a reliable and affordable MIDI controller, this one is a top choice in my book.

I bought this because I wanted a battery powered wireless controller with bluetooth midi. Basically, something I can stuff in my backpack along with a few other battery powered synths/grooveboxes and have a nice small keyboard on the go. This was one of the few options I found and it is by far the smallest (unless you get into devices that don't have actual keybeds). Shockingly, it's also one of the lowest cost.It is pretty powerful right off the bat, connecting immediately to my other bluetooth midi devices (CME adapters) with no effort. It worked immediately. I got a bit frustrated at first because the manual is terrible and there was no obvious way to switch MIDI channels -- I was stuck on channel 1. Well, I did some research online and found that there is a companion software "MidiSuite." The M-VAVE website doesn't support SSL (in the year 2024) so it looks sketchy as hell, but it's fine. And it's powerful. You can reconfigure every single aspect of the entire device. Every pad, knob, and button can be reconfigured in any way you want, on any midi channel you want. You can then store these configurations in 8 presets on the device, or any number more on your computer. So there you can see there's a potential issue. You could use 8 presets and set up 8 different MIDI channels if you just assign them all to the same channel. But then the other 8 you can't do anything with (if you need to). Well, if this was a more expensive controller, I'd be more upset, but it's cheap. So it's fine.So basically, if you think the configuration options are lacking, download the companion software, it will unlock a lot more.This is at its heard a bluetooth midi controller and it connects, as I stated earlier, effortlessly to other class compliant bluetooth midi devices. But you may want to use this controller in other ways. You can connect the USB to the computer (it has a USB 1.0/2.0 USB-B connector type -- the old "printer" connectors -- instead of a more modern USB-C, but whatever). When connected to the computer, it will act as any other MIDI device and can be easily routed into your DAW. It also has a way to use the footswitch jack as MIDI out. I don't completely understand how that works because, again, the manual is terrible. But I'm guessing it's similar to the 3.5mm MIDI standard, just coming out of a 1/4" jack size. So that would mean you'd need a 1/4" to 3.5mm (1/8") adapter, which are easy to come by. Again, I'm just guessing, I haven't tried it yet. Also, in this mode you lose the footswitch, but it does allow MIDI out without having to use wireless or USB.Hardware wise, the keybed is alright. Not the best, not the worst. Just fine for the price. Velocity sensitive (and you can configure curves and upper/lower limits in the software). The pads feel great and have velocity and aftertouch. The touchpad pitch and mod "wheels" feel terrific. They are perfectly sensitive and accurate. They feel just as good as my Arturia and ASM keyboard touchpads. The knobs are endless encoders, so there is no "jump" when you switch patches. They have a nice resistance so feel very precise when turning them. They send single CC steps unlike some other controllers that step in 2 (ahem Korg ahem). The transport buttons by default support MCP (as well as the second layer of pads), which was a bit of a surprise feature. I don't really use MCP anywhere, but I know others that do. You can control many DAW transport functions by mapping those. I remapped them all to MIDI notes or CCs in pushbutton/toggle mode.The display is just a 3 digit 7-segment display, like you see in a lot of Roland gear these days. Very little information is presented, but it does tell you at a glance which preset you are on, the current CC value, etc. Again, this thing is cheap so I can't complain.All in all, this thing is a beast for the price and rivals much more expensive options in some ways. But, don't expect it to do *everything* a more expensive controller would do, it is a low cost option and probably will never have a software or firmware update ever and the company might disappear in a couple years (or not, M-VAVE has lasted longer than a lot of others so far).All in all, glad I bought it.One last thing, the Amazon listing is wrong, the company name is M-VAVE, not M-WAVE.

One key not working

Adiós Akai, adiós Novation, adiós Arturia…Ninguno de esos controlcitos de 2000-3500 pesos le llegan si quiera a los talones a este; PERO HAY QUE TENER CUIDADO… lo malo de los productos de este tipo (creo que “Chino” o bueno, de uno de los “dragones” pues), es que muy seguido vienen pésimamente documentados y encontrar dicha documentación es prácticamente imposible (porque los venden con 50 nombres distintos jajajaja).En fin, existe en estas opiniones un comentario sumamente extenso que da prácticamente todos los tips que necesitas para darte cuenta de que SÍ, es MUCHO MEJOR aparto que cualquiera de las otras marcas.Además de lo obvio (tiene Bluetooth, tiene batería… y los “pros” no tienen nada en comparación a esto), es el ÚNICO control que conozco que tiene una aplicación en iOS para realizar la modificación de la configuración de perfiles.Por si esto fuese poco, a diferencia de “los pros”, las perillas de este control SÍ son verdaderamente “infinitas”:Muy seguido (HMMM AKAI ARTURIA?) le ponen “knobs” infinitos (perillas), pero el maldito software no los utiliza 😂 —> es decir que las perillas en hardware giran infinitamente pero los midi CC que envían son “capeados” y no “relativos”. Es decir que cuando uno los mueve izquierda o derecha “cambian de 0 a 127” de manera continua en vez de dar simplemente un mensaje de “incremento” o “decremento” (que es como deberían de funcionar las perillas infinitas).Gracias a esto, puedo asignar un canal midi a cada “preset” del control, cambiar mis perillas al modo CW en vez de CC (SUMAMENTE IMPORTANTE SINO TUS PERILLAS ACTUARÁN COMO LAS TONTERÍAS QUE OFRECEN “los pros”), y con estas perillas relativas controlar hasta 8 parámetros distintos POR SYNTH! Y puedo controlar 8 synths en paralelo (dado el número de presets).En fin, estuve apunto de devolverlo y quejarme de esto de las perillas “infinitas” que según yo este aparato TAMPOCO tenía (arturia y Akai las tienen físicamente, repito, pero en términos de hardware el controlador midi no las utiliza como tal 😂), pero gracias al comentario que recomendó la aplicación esta “CubeSuite”, ahora tengo el mejor controlador de todos (especialmente porque además es Bluetooth y todo ese rollo previamente mencionado antes de la belleza de las perillas y el software asociado a este controlador).Toda una joya -> mi pianito favorito y tengo / he probado MUCHOS.
