Dae2l « Excellent in everything! I recommend ;) »
Published on 03/05/14 at 03:55I was owner of a Akai MPK 49 that I sold in the initial optical acquire a keyboard 61 keys. After various research and trials in store, according to my style of music my abilities at the keyboard, add to this space ... I'm back on this idea to finally start on 49 keys. In short, I wanted a good hit (not piano, I was doing nothing, and besides it would probably inconstructif for various synths used. Therefore short for use primarily with Logic Studio and Live (and control some hard synths (Venom and e-mu M-audio))
Following a test store the Roland-500 pro, my first choice was to go on this model, I really hung touched and hit stick modulation which I find more effective than conventional pitch and modulation wheels. After several searches on the net, I noticed several problems OSX users which had the effect of setting aside the controller. Then I read the full review (including the English MK2 Novation SL) and seen these users so please, so I ordered this model.
UTILIZATION
I compared with those I had not really the ones I only used 5 minutes
My first was a M-Audio Axiom 25 (first generation) that I enjoyed at the time. Only 25 keys, was insufficient. The hit was average but convenais for mao in any case applied to electronic music.
After one or two years of joyful service, I turned to the Akai MPK 49, having followed the advice here is elsewhere. I had great difficulty to make me hit the MPK 49 at the beginning, much harder than the M-Audio. Type MPC pads that had also considered the balance was then facing the Korg Kontrol 49 have proved unusable until I opted for their replacement by Pads at MPC Stuff (not the name). Therefore difficult at first glance, I notice placed'm done. And I thought ok until recent days I received the SL 49 Mk2, then clearly we are not in the same category touchdown, the keys are already very good quality pearl, bright, good size perfectly identical across the keyboard (I mention, it's not like that on the other). Now in game condition, you know, difficult as it is a good feeling but I try, we feel the sound beneath his fingers, the semi fleet is perfectly balanced, the velocity answer like a charm and aftertouch is for really blow more, it responds as it should, in all it's what I expect from a aftertouch (because fine to put it, it is still necessary to be usable).
Then the manual I read diagonally on the site novation (very quickly) to configure the keyboard I watched the video tutorials for novation. Nothing really, Live with all controllers perfectly match with references to the name and value on the screen, they are also very accurate, I'm thrilled it's great. May seem a bit complicated at first, for the control of DAW and plugs, but it did nothing, in fact it is extremely simple. And maybe this is why it may seem complicated (I quickly explained to me, when we usually learn the classic twelve o'clock noon and conventional settings, and well in spite of ourselves, we tend to want to reproduce this reasoning, and this is the error when it found the keyboard and automap fact almost everything for you
)
OVERALL OPINION
For a little over a week, I try a lot of models have also read quite a review ... And even though this keyboard does not come out, I think he has not now conceived seriously. Nothing to say, touched excellent, perfect integration is a joystick in my xy Pads effective even if it is true, we must still support it (this is not an Iphone lol).
What I like most: almost everything in my eyes right now it is a faultless. It suits me perfectly, a big + + quality keyboard / touch.
Moreover, contrary to what I've read, I am absolutely not fragile (I understand it).
I would do this choice is still clear. The midi keyboard is really excellent
