Perfect midi controller

At last I bought one of these. Simply perfect for my needs, powerful and solid. Key tool for my most recent release "Signal Found", specially the arpeggiator which was so good for some sections of my EP. The semi-weighted keys are great and comfortable, the construction is solid rock and also you have two 5 pin midi in and out connectors. Amazing keyboard.

Great for basslines and leads, limited for pads. Sequencer mediocre.

Lets start with the positive. The unit is light yet feels sturdy and well made. The "Wheels" respond nice and the interface is easy to use. Solid to control basses/leads and even pads in a pinch. As far as the sequencer..... its ok. I imagine if you use the sync input to a drum machine/metronome/whatever people use to keep their sequences in time then it would be better. Arpeggiator also also suffers this issue obviously.

Fantastic MIDI keyboard

Sequencer is really useful if you have it connected to any synthesizer, keys feel great, overall a decent MIDI keyboard.

My go-to everyday MIDI controller

Love the arpeggiator. Switching modes & settings is intuitive. Built well, it's taking a beating and nothing's failed. Each feature is legibly printed on the device, the manual doesn't need to be consulted. The primary limitations I encounter are the amount of keys (I regularly run out of runway when improvising or composing), the janky process required to record a sequence (it's unusable to me), the inability to incorporate rests/ties into arpeggios & lack of 1 or more MIDI CC controls. If it had one more octave, a small XY MIDI CC pad with CC# selector & rest/tie selection capability in arp mode, it'd be worth $80 more and I could use it for many years to come. Heck, I'd rather have those things than having the sequencer at all.

Great sequencer/controller

32 keys make it feel way bigger than it is (compared to other small keyboards that only have 25 keys). Sequencer is simple and easy to understand. CV output makes it easy to use with eurorack. Keys feel great even though they are mini. Very inexpensive. This is a studio essential.

A+

Killer amount of functionality at a great price point.

I do like better key bed n but with all this does & at this price

Killer buy. I’ve been using it as my controller for a load of stuff beyond what I thought I might.

I got it for the CV pitch/gate functionality but it’s been a killer add & in ways I didn’t expect.

Strong recommend.

Hard to get more at this price point. Well done Arturia.

Amazing small midi controller!

This thing is amazing. Keys feel great to play, the sequencer is fun and helpful, it's got a ton of connectivity on the back. Can't beat it on that price range

Awesome Compact controller, Great feeling, huge connectivity and small footprint

Really useful for people that, like me, travel a lot, plug it into your laptop and play perfectly neat! its small keys does not impact the feels that is really really great. Aftertouch, Arpeggiator and Sequencer add some useful features; also MIDI, USB, CV and Sync connettivity are featured!

Best bang for your buck MIDI keyboard.

I searched high and low for a MIDI keyboard that was 1 - affordable, 2 - was USB powered, and 3 - had MIDI inputs and outputs. This successfully achieved all 3 of those items I wanted in a MIDI keyboard. Some people say it feels "toy-like" (I've heard this in a YouTube review) but I strongly disagree. I think it feels heavy and well built. This is a great bargain.

Great Tool!

I have two of these. The keys are not mini keys so if you have big hands and fingers like I do you will not have a problem. Velocity, aftertouch, arp, and a sequencer. What more could you want at that price point?
