Miditech Garagekey mini

first, it's not for learning to play the piano. It is not intended to imitate piano playing. In terms of handling, it is more like a toy. At the same time, it is very convenient for composing in places where there is little space. For example, I take my MPC One and Miditech Garagekey mini next to the sofa and my ideas are quickly recorded. The octave change buttons are in just the right place. If they were somewhere habitual, the risk of accidentally pressing them would be high. Regarding recording, it should be noted that the velocity differences remain larger than usual. Some may even like it. The appearance and build quality are nice, everything shines and inspires confidence. What's important: you get a 45 cm long thing with three octaves.

I was needing a MIDI keyboard to use it with my computer, but just to launch samples or playing little parts, so I was searching something really small, and also cheap because I didn't want to spend lot of money on a midi keyboard.

The only thing I find a little bit troublesome is the fact that on this keyboard there are little thin keys, so if you want to play basic and simple notes, that's ok. But if you want to play something more complex you should consider a keyboard with standard keys.

However I found it useful because with thin keys I have more octaves, having more triggers, and I can also shift through octaves because on the rear there are two buttons. But I find that these buttons aren't fast to reach when you are playing.

To use it with Logic to compose, it's simply great.
