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

Comment:

I have actually smaller hands, and also this keyboard has slim tips… feels like an amazing match, appropriate?

Pros:
1. Slim secrets (I love slim keys!). Usually I barely reach an octave. On this I may also reach a 10th!
2. It’s lightweight and small, in the event that’s your thing.

Cons:
3. Velocity sensitiveness is extremely bad, it is almost impossible to try out any such thing with any expression and persistence. I’ve tried most of the velocity settings in the KORG KONTROL Editor.
4. The secrets need to get ALL the real means down for a the signal to join up. You will miss an entire large amount of records if you should be playing runs, arpeggios or any such thing which isn’t slow and needs phrase. Getting ppp, pp notes or any peaceful records the tips has to be pressed REALLY, REALLY gradually to point of being completely unplayable.
5. Garbage grade cheap plastic build, maybe not well worth the funds.

It’s not good even for pads, rhodes or synths. The velocity that is poor kills this thing. It is essentially unusable for certainly not banging basic chords.

Comment:

so that you have a significant amount of knobs and sliders already in front of you! This was the full situation for me! All i desired ended up being a slim yet midi that is slick, with a few octaves, in this case 61 secrets. This fitted the bill perfectly and I am delighted having its performance, which is a fit that is neat my workstation. This keyboard has been utilized by me personally with Several D.a.w’s including Reason 7 & Ableton real time 9 and also with some Ipad apps. In all complete situations it worked superb, just plug & play! So after you need look absolutely no further if it is just the tips you’re. If you want knobs and sliders my suggestion that is personal would something like Novation Launchkey or in the top end of things there is certainly the Panorama P6 by Nektar. Other wise this Miditech 2-61 is the fundamental needed for any studio.

Comment:

I purchased this midi tech to utilize with a sound module for remaining hand bass. The feel of those tips are impresive. These are typically light to feel and play like a mid key that is weighted. They sensitivity is the best which lets you get feel for the noises while playing. Utilizing the board it self, setting up, and changing settings which are internal very easy to access and use. The editing is created because of it of products effortless, to give you additional time for playing. And also as for the extra weight of the board, well there isn’t anything to say. Its so light my two old doesn’t have issue going it for me, even yet in its case 12 months. Over all exceptional score for such a reasonable board. Thanks thomann.
