Perfect!

It is very good product. Just a bit heavy, so locate it on a strong and stable desk or stand.

Great MIDI Keyboard Controller for home studio
Anonymous 05.05.2016
Using this keyboard for producing music in my home studio, very comfortable, good-looking, solid instrument. Keys feel very pleasant when you touch it, similar to the real piano keys.

Comes with powerful software: Ableton Live Lite, Hybrid 3 by AIR Music Tech, SONiVOX Twist 2.0, SONiVOX Eighty-Eight Ensemble and the Akai Pro MPC Essentials, but I'm using it with Logic Pro.

Special thanks to Thomann GmbH, Your delivery and notification services work great, it took only 5 days to deliver parcel to Estonia, You did it with real German precision, quality and responsibility. It was my first experience of using Your store, and I can say, that this is the best service among online stores I've ever met.

Heavy, sturdy and well built!
Tyler Duggan 01.01.2021
Excellent Quality keyboard. Have it plugged into my Macbook Pro and the keys and nobs feel great. Satisfying to play with the nobs and buttons as well as the keys.

I have no problem with this keyboard and will get many hours of stage and studio time with it for sure!

Excellent Controller missing one small feature
Anonymous 24.08.2015
I have used many brands controllers over the last 20 odd years and this is my favourite so far. SO easy to configure and plenty of controller types To be able to configured! The keys have a decent "feel"; not ideal for "piano" playing but a good compormise for a smooth synth action. The only feature missing for me is on-screen visibility of the controller value as you're moving it. I do a lot of "live mixing" and tweaking and when sweeping mids, I cannot see where the frequency and/or gain levels are as these are endless rotary encoders. A small issue for me as I have my laptop offstage (don't like the look of seeing computers on stage) so really miss this BUT I would take all the functions and configuration possibilities over that feature (which you see in Axiom type controllers. A solid 9/10 from me

Good pads, faders and continuous controllers
Mattycdj 01.06.2024
The pads are as expected with the brand, top tier. The controls, including the faders and continuous controllers feel nice with a little resistance. The keys, overall, are good, not the best and two of the keys are more noisy than the others. Very nice feel to them though. The bundles software is very good, including a half of a year subscription to reason plus, which is good. Overall a good product with a decent value, considering the price at the time of purchasing. I would recommend this to anybody looking for a decent controller.

A great controller keyboard
AP2019 10.09.2019
I use this in a studio with Logic X, but I can imagine this is well suited (and reliable enough) to live use too. The keys and pads have a nice feel to them and the whole unit feels very sturdy. I found it took a little while to set up in Logic X and I still come across some issues now and then, but that's due to quirks of Logic rather than the Akai.

Great controller!
Liakourehs 17.03.2024
The semi-weighted keys feel great. Snappy and responsive with a great weight behind them.
The drum pads is the best I have tried in a midi controller so far.
The faders and knobs feeling very smooth and have good friction. Very useful.
Overall good compatibility with DAW software
