Could you please do me a favor and check the following on your AP300. Do the pinkie keys increase or lower the tone by +/- 1/2 step no matter what other keys are pressed? (This is the Akai EWI standard fingering pattern.) For example, if you play (in ST fingering) a G4 (left index finger + left middle finger + left ring finger) and you press in addition the top left pinkie key, do you get a #G4? If you press the bottom left pinkie key, do you get a #F4? In addition, does the same work for top/middle right pinkie keys instead? And further, there also appears to be a key above the right index finger raising by 1/2 step (their manual shows that one as the "official" key for #G4)? Basically, I am trying to determine whether the pinkie keys work as they do at the Akai EWI by being additive to any other key pressed (in the EWI, each key has a value, either -1, -1/2, +1/2, +1, and the values of all keys pressed get added up to give the final tone-albeit there are a handful of exceptions to get standard fingerings). In this question, however, I am just worried about the pinkie keys. Just to clarify another way, do the pinkie keys have the following impact on the tone: Right bottom pinkie -1, Right middle pinkie -1/2, Right top pinkie +1/2, Right above index finger +1/2, Left bottom pinkie -1/2, Left top pinkie +1/2? Can they be added in arbitrary combinations to any other keys and have this impact? Or are only the combinations supported that are shown in the manual for a given fingering?
You can do the combination of these keys exactly the same way you do on Akai's EWI. The manual of AP300 just shows only a few standard fingerings but you can do more combinations like Akai.
I didn't buy the 300 because of this, there's a bug when using it as a midi controller with the joystick, now with the pro this issue should be fixed easily
@@KingfisherTalkingPictures Both model have Bluetooth and you can pair it with your computer or mobile phone to receive a music backing track. The connection is fast. The latency is low and you can play along.
That's a good question. Currently, we can't manage the sound on this device. There's no companion app but you can use it as a midi controller to connect to DAW software. You can use this device with other app like SWAM to enhance the sounds.

does it connect to BT speaker?
No, it does not output to Bluetooth speaker. But it receive music from other Bluetooth device to AP300 Pro.
I have a question: the 300 version (not the pro one) can't have firmware updates then? What's so important about having firmware updates anyway?
Pro version can update firmware which means the improvement of on-board features and functions can be upgraded in the future.
I didn't buy the 300 because of this, there's a bug when using it as a midi controller with the joystick, now with the pro this issue should be fixed easily
Is there bluetooth on both models? WIll they transmit out to my computer? how's the latency?

Is the sound engine programmable and/or can new sounds be installed? Is there a companion program/app that runs on Windows, Mac, iOS and/or Android?
That's a good question. Currently, we can't manage the sound on this device. There's no companion app but you can use it as a midi controller to connect to DAW software. You can use this device with other app like SWAM to enhance the sounds.
@@DigitalWindInstrument SWAM apps appear to be very expensive.
Hope that your upgrades will soon allow more editing of the 'pro's inner sounds...
@@ALAINBRAULIO I hope so
🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks bro 😊😊
I love these AI narrator tracks that don’t quite get it right. Lol.
Hay
