M-WAVE Wireless MIDI Controller Pads, Bluetooth Portable USB MIDI Controller with 16 MPC Drum Pads, 8 Assignable Knobs, Note Repeat, Full Level Buttons, Rechargeable battery (White Pad)

The media could not be loaded. This midi keyboard is my first but is really reliable and simple to set up. Offers a variety of presets. Is to scale as the keys feel the same size as a real piano. The keyboard is responsive and has low to no input delay on my compatible PC. The keys do not get stuck. Currently the most useful aspect for me has been the octave buttons on the left side as it feels easy to change with 1 push of a button.This works good with FL and have had no issues. [ I left a video how to quickly setup using FL Studio ]

I'm absolutely blown away by its versatility and ease of use. The compact size makes it easy to transport, and its pink color adds a fun touch to my music production setup. The buttons and knobs have a great feel to them, and I've been able to streamline my workflow tremendously with the customization options. Plus, the price is unbeatable for all the features you get. If you're looking for a reliable and affordable MIDI controller, this one is a top choice in my book.

Great product! Works very well and last a very long time wireless. The keys are comfortable to play on and the keyboard is the perfect size for on the go. Definitely recommend.

This is a great instrument that has been fun to jam with my kid. We're new to keyboards, so I am not using many features and can't speak to them. I however do have larger hands and the keys are compact, so have caution when buying. The keys I would say are just a bit too small and smushed together than I would like, and that's why I'm giving the 4 instead of a 5. Great tool and nice LED. Haven't tested the Bluetooth, I use it wired.

It's super easy to use and really versatile. The compact size makes it easy to carry around, and the pink color adds a fun vibe to my setup. The buttons and knobs feel great, and the customization options have helped me streamline my workflow. For the price, it’s hard to beat. If you need a solid, affordable MIDI controller, this one's a great pick.

A cute and functional little MIDI keyboard perfect for my small setup. I’m a professional musician who works in electronic music with a looper, and this works great for my needs. The pad sensitivity is pretty good for such a small board and the keys hook up with Garage Band perfectly. I loved that it came in three colors instead of just the plain black.

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!

I love this keyboard and it helps me with my melodies and chords. I am generally new to music production and I have found this keyboard a helpful transition. I can connect it seamlessly to music production software and it is easy to use. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great tool for music production, whether you're new to it like me, or a seasoned musician!
