This is the selling point of this controller in my opinion. They’re rather stiff and feel cheap overall, but this is to be expected.

With this being said, the keys aren’t great. I’ve done this for years and I simply love it. If you want something to use VSTs, but want to still have realistic feeling keys, use your digital piano as a controller. Its main purpose is to send MIDI signals to your DAW and allow you to create music and control sounds. Its purpose isn’t to be a crazy realistic digital piano. If you’re spending pennies on a controller, it’s not going to have the best feeling keys. One thing that really agitates me is when I watch Youtube reviews of cheap MIDI keyboards and the person comments on the keys being stiff and, in general, not very good.

Once you do this, it works smoothly and accurately. It was for the most part, fully functional with every DAW that I tried.ĭepending on which DAW you are using, you may want to go into options and select, “generic controller.” This will make sure it is read properly by the DAW. When I dove into this keyboard, there were a couple of things I was actually surprised by. With this being said, a lot of the sales it has done have come because of its low price tag. The Midiplus AKM 320 is one of the top-selling entry-level MIDI keyboards available.
