The Korg nanoKEY 2 black MIDI keyboard is priced at €44/£41/$45 and the Akai LPK 25 is priced at €42/£37/$42, but the difference is so small that this may vary from store to store. Let’s go head to head:

  • Both have an integrated USB connection and are USB powered.
  • The Korg includes a software bundle license. The Akai includes a software editor for Mac and PC.

Both MIDI controllers are very similar and minimalist, on the one hand, the Korg has the advantage of the up/down pitch buttons that the Akai does not have, and on the other hand, the Akai has the advantage of its arpeggiator and the 4 programmable memory banks. This gives a slight advantage to the LPK 25 Akai.

Which is the best of these MIDI keyboards if I am a beginner on a low budget?

While the answer to this question lies mostly in what specific need you have, for example, if you want to have a keyboard with the widest range of notes possible, or if you want to have as many control functions as possible, or perhaps a mix between the two, that is without leaving behind the different connections and software licenses that most MIDI controllers offer, we will give an objective opinion according to our experience in music production and thus also with the price demanded by the controllers, a kind of value for money.

In this post we have mostly very cheap MIDI controllers with few functions, however, a very balanced MIDI controller is the Miditech Midistart Music 25, which offers 25 full-size keys (which is excellent for its price), an assignable fader, a joystick for pitch bend and modulation, and octave up/down buttons. We also have a sustain pedal input. It really does offer a lot of features for a fair price. If you get the chance, go for it.

Some comments from people who come to the forum about this model:

Comment:

We purchased this as our Bass player was going to be unexpectedly away for a gig. We did not wish to invest hours with a Dep. In this musical organization I perform Sax, but when our Pianist was soloing some help had been desired by her. Initially we had been going to put it through a vocals that is midi, but we discoverd our stage piano gave us use of it’s interior GM voices, therefore utilizing the midi out of the Swissonic we were able to patch into the Bass in the stage piano, which eliminated some wires and power supplies and in addition made the transition from Piano/Bass split to Swissonic Bass and Piano more seamless. (We utilized Piano and Bass split keyboard on the SP) I surely could play Bass with my remaining hand. Exactly how did it go? Great. The machine itself is light, but rested well on a stand. A USB ended up being employed by us plug to power it, plus the midi out socket to the keyboard. The instruction book is quite explicit, yet not really required because the arranged is fairly logical. Occasionaly striking an email did not create a response, we suspect as a result of operator mistake. The arranged out of the package ended up being fine and choosing this system that is right easy. (begins at 0, not 1.) We liked the Aluminium instance which should help with life on your way and all sorts of in most we have been actually satisfied with what we got. The tips are very light in operation which suggested I didn’t get fatigued playing around 40 Bass lines. I spent quite a right time looking for a keyboard with proper midi, not USB, and also this has both. The dimensions that is full also ensure it is easy for me to play without the need to concentrate way too hard. I have big fingers so tiny keys don’t actually work well for me.
What would I choose? Well if I may find one a 25 key with weighted tips, but haven’t had the opportunity to source that so dream on! Oh and a Midi in/through would be nice. I haven’t looked over the software therefore can not comment, we now have a great amount of that in other formats so probably won’t view it.
Delivery, inspite of the efforts associated with the French postal system to postpone it, was as usual from Thomann, fast.

Comment:

I put it to use to simply play simple lines with digital instruments also to do bass lines with a bass synth module. For this usage is quite perfect, a keyboard that is fine very long sized keys and good action, featured with very basic midi commands. It constantly worked correctly and it is constructed with sturdy materials, so I have absolutely nothing to whine. For the purchase price an excellent product.
