25 Key USB MIDI Keyboard Controller With 8 Backlit Drum Pads, Bluetooth Semi Weighted Professional dynamic keybed 8 Knobs and Music Production,Software Included (White)

The M-WAVE 25 Key is a nice little MIDI controller. Bluetooth worked really well for me, both on PC and my iPad Air M2. Also flawless if you use it wired. I use FL Studio on my PC but it should work great with any DAW. And you should have control over practically everything you need with the transport controls, 8 pads, 8 knobs and 2 touch stripes (pads and keys are also velocity-sensitive!). Very portable if you need a controller on the go, large enough to be useful but small enough to stuff it in a backpack. There are some scale and chord features I haven't tried yet but even without them this controller has more than met my expectations.

A tool that's turning heads in the music production scene. If you're a rookie producer stepping into the Logic Pro arena on your iPad, listen up 'cause this pink powerhouse might just be the key to unlocking your musical potential. Design and Aesthetics: Let's talk vibes, fam. This M-WAVE joint ain't your typical black and white clunker. Nah, it's dipped in vibrant pink, standing out in a sea of monotony. It's not just a keyboard; it's a statement. Compact, lightweight, and packing personality, this piece is a visual anthem for your music workspace. Build Quality: Hold up, though! Don't be fooled by the lightweight exterior – this thing's built like a Brooklyn brownstone. Sturdy, durable, with keys that got that bounce, striking the perfect balance between smooth playability and that gritty, real-instrument feel. No worries about wear and tear – this M-WAVE is built for the grind. Plug-and-Play Convenience: For my beginners out there, simplicity is the key to the city. M-WAVE got you covered – just plug it into your iPad, no fuss, no muss. No extra drivers or complex setups – just pure, unadulterated music-making. It's about focusing on your craft, not getting bogged down in tech hassles. Perfect for Learning Logic Pro: Logic Pro on your iPad? M-WAVE got your back with them 25 keys, perfect for laying down melodies, chords, and beats. Virtual instruments, drum patterns, piano roll – you name it. It's like a lyrical playground for your creativity, giving you that tactile experience to enhance your flow. Versatile Functionality _ Don't let the size fool you; this M-WAVE ain't playing. Pitch bend, modulation wheels, octave shifting, sustain – it's got all the tools for adding layers to your sound. It's like spitting fire on the mic – nuanced and dynamic. This ain't just a keyboard; it's a symphony in pink. Value for Money: The price point on this M-WAVE? Affordable. For my budget ballers, this is the ticket to the music game. No need to drop stacks on a fancy controller right out the gate – M-WAVE got you covered. Wise investment for the hungry artists grinding on a budget.

I recently purchased this keyboard last month, It has been an excellent keyboard. It was very well-packaged and not damaged at all. I use this product with garage band on an IPad. It is rechargeable and the battery lasts for a really long time. Not to mention, it's a bluetooth equipped so it's really nice as a portable keyboard! It has a great feel, and is easy to use. It's super simple to change the mod, and setting of the instrument you're using. It also has a drum pad that is awesome! I love this product, and would recommend it to any musician looking for a portable mini keyboard!

Can't confirm that Velocity was EVER working though. The Pads still send Velocity (and aftertouch) Other than that, this is the all-in-one mini keyboard I've been looking for, after trying similar from all of the main brands. Very light and small, LOTS of functionality, and wireless makes it easy as hell to pull up for a little noodling in my easy chair when getting to my main keyboards isn't necessary. BT is especially nice but don't expect razor-sharp response, BT was never meant for that. YMMV. BT can be trouble to set up though. My DAW could not see my device because Windows driver was not complete enough; BT connection worked but driver did not patch through the MIDI ports. For my Win 11 laptop I needed to download both MidiBerry and LoopMidi. LoopMidi creates virtual midi patches that can be used to show in MidiBerry, which is where the signal redirections are mapped. Note that MidiBerry is an app from the Windows store and it's window MUST remain open to work.

After looking for MIDI controllers/keyboards that were under $100, I found this M-WAVE keyboard, compared to other keyboards and controllers, has the most customization options and features for a beginning musician/composer. As anything bigger than this size would be well over my budget, this is a great starting keyboard with more than enough drumpads (a feature I really wanted) and dials. IMPORTANT NOTE: this controller WON'T work if it's not connected to a DAW/music program on a computer (not sure if it works on the phone). That's why it's called a keyboard controller, you use it to play virtual instruments and sounds. Even though the dials have labels for their "functions", you can program them in your DAW or music program to do almost whatever you want (the dials won't work until you apply a function to them anyway). Having used this for a few months months now to compose, though the smaller size makes it a bit difficult, this controller is very powerful for the size and price and I'm very happy with it!

This is a great product. Small and portable. We purchased for our 9year as she loves playing DJ. We love that t has blue tooth capabilities. We do wish there was a way to play it without a device.

Interested in making music on iOS? This MIDI controller is THE easiest way to get started and get to the fun part - making music! It's also well constructed, surprisingly configurable, and best of all: no wires! Most music creation setups require a fixed workstation with cables snaking everywhere, but the handy thing about iPads is how mobile they are. Until now, making music on iOS also required a setup with at least 2 cables, plus a $40 adapter from Apple. You might even need to add a powered USB hub in the middle of all that. Good luck playing music on your couch! That's why I was so excited to find this keyboard controller - it uses low energy bluetooth to connect to your iOS device wirelessly and that's all you need to get up and running! Just switch the power on, a couple of taps in your music app of choice (NOT via the usual bluetooth settings page - connect to it within your music app!) and you can start creating your next song! As for the keyboard itself, it's quite well made for the price. It uses minikeys to keep the size down so you can toss the controller and an iPad in a backpack and work on the go. The keys feel very good at this price point, and are velocity sensitive so you can add dynamics to your playing. The knobs are also solid and spin infinitely. The pads have a good feel to them as well, a bit of give but don't trigger with minimal pressure, so there's no accidental hits. The only misstep are the pitch bend and mod strips; they work adequately but it may not be the tactile response you're used to. There's 8 knobs and 8 pads, but a single button press for each switches their controls to a second bank or 8 each and essentially doubles the number of controls you have! Extra features that you might not expect to find on a controller at this price point include an arpeggiator that can be controlled via the keys, a smart chord and smart scale system (play chords with one finger! Never play an off-scale note again!), and the ability to change velocity curves for the pads and keys from the controller itself. This product is not made by one of the big names in music devices which saves you some serious money. It also means that the documentation is a little sparse - but I'm here to fill in the gaps so you can get the best experience for the best price! The controller comes with 8 presets that are preconfigured pretty intelligently - preset 1 follows the classic MIDI setup of having keys transmit on MIDI channel 1, and the pads, representing drums, on MIDI channel 10. Works right out of the box. But if you want more control, there's a free iOS app that gives you virtually complete control over every input on the controller. It's called "cube suite" - and make sure you search of it in the app store just as I typed it there because the app store is not smart about searching for apps. cubesuite, all one word will give you zero results. This app is well done but has some minor rough edges - expect minor spelling mistakes and the very occasional "what does that mean?" That said, I've always been able to get it to do what I need. On opening cube suite, if your controller isn't immediately recognized (the official name is the SMK25), hit scan nearby devices at the bottom, and it should find and connect. Tap the SMK25 icon and then you'll be taken to a screen with two sections. The top, "GLOB" for global, exposes the controls in app form that you can also control from the keyboard, namely, the arpeggiator, smart scale/chords, and key and pad velocity. Nice to have, but you can change those settings from the controller, so it's not strictly necessary. The last tab, "Preset" is where things get interesting. There's 8 presets on the controller. This is where you select what preset the controller is using (also can be done on the controller by pressing 2 buttons together and then pressing one of the pads - 8 pads, 8 presets!), but more importantly you can make changes to the controls in the bottom section of the screen (USER CONFIG) - the keys, pads, knobs, pitch/mod strips, and transport buttons - and then use "Persistent save" to save those changes to the selected preset, giving you ultimate control! You can even set the exact color you want the Pad LEDs to be - and I have to say they look very slick. How to change what the controls do: USER CONFIG has 5 tabs, each representing a type of control. So "Pad" lets you customize the pads. And oh boy are they customizable: you can set them to send lots of different type of MIDI commands. Send notes, program changes, momentary CC signals, toggle CC signals. Depending on the type of signal, there are appropriate subsettings to change as well. For example, in CC toggle mode, you can say what 2 values to send each time you "toggle" the pad by hitting it - send 127 and 127 (full on), send 0 and 127 (full off and full on), send 43 and 87 (I don't know why, but you can!). At the top of the section is "Pad Index" - this is which pad you are editing, and then all the possible things you can set it to are below that. Tap the pad on the right to select which of the 16 pads you want to change. The same is true for knobs. Keys are a bit different - you set what channel to send the keys over, and then can set what note each key will send. Note that this is one off the few poor UI experiences - for example, MIDI values can range from 0 to 127 and rather then letting you type in the number, you have to navigate a drop down list with 128 different entries, one for each number. Not a huge deal since you will only be occasionally changing the controls on the controller, but it isn't ideal. And if you are changing the controls very often - time to upgrade and get a serious MIDI controller that makes it easy to program it to your heart's content! Anyways, once you have the controls the way you like them, hit "Persistent Save" to save the preset back to the controller, and with just 2 button presses on the controller, you have your preset ready for jamming! Just to give you an example of how powerful this amount of control is, here's my setup: Presets 1 through 4 have been customized by me to send on the same channel number. So preset 1 sends on MIDI channel 1, 2 on 2, etc. This allows me to put different instruments in my music software and have them listen only on those channels. So I can hit the pads on channel 1 and get some drums going, then by pressing the preset change button and then pad 2 - now I'm playing bass on the keys! I can switch super easily and get back to the fun part - writing and playing some tunes! Alright, if you've stuck with me this long, here's my summary: this controller is well made for the price, highly configurable even if it's not the fastest process, but most importantly - EXTREMELY EASY to get up and running with ZERO wires. It's got a 2000 mAH battery (with charging cable) that lasts longer than my iPad's battery and I'm really enjoying it. Get it for making music anywhere - an iPhone and this keyboard in a backpack lets you make music on the beach, at the park - anywhere. Get it for kids and teens who want to get into music without a huge upfront cost. Get it for noodling on your couch. Just Get It!

This is exactly what my son was looking for and found it easy to set up and use right out of the box. We've had it for a couple of months so far and no issues to report.
