Hi Good day I am a begginer artist from Philippines I just completed the mechanics. I hope to see you successful and more subscribers to come. I love your videos and I learn a lot about recording material but I can't afford those things because I don't have money hoping that you see my comment. I really want to have at least presonus audiobox 96. That's the best gift I will receive on my upcoming birthday (April 14)
Last time I bought and Alesis V49 it kept throwing its springs on the keys and I had to keep rebuilding mine. Then it shorted for no good reason. Yes it felt nice while it lasted, but it was barely used before it had problems and eventually died.
Thank you for an excellent review, just before reading this I had placed an order for the Nektar SE49 having seen rave reviews on it. So, I immediately cancelled it, I wanted one with a quality keyboard feel, as I play piano, and I need a portable piano to practice chords and scales when I work away from home. Well, I have decided to go for the best at double the price, now getting the Roland A49. Thanks for your advice, much appreciated
Thank you sir. Keep up the good work.
Best set-up I like it
Thank you for doing these videos they really help me pick out the stuff I want to get. You made me want to make music!
Awesome!! Glad I can help 🙏🏼
For my needs, the Carbon 49 was the only option. I needed that MIDI out to drive some other hardware synths I have.
Wow that Samson midi keyboard looks awesome for the price! Thanks for this video
Thank you for watching!!
LIked and subscribed great review
Thx for informative video
Great vid. I have an Alesis QX61 and it is awesome. (but I could not easily set its drum pad...)
Thank you for not making this 20 minutes long. Subscribing.
These are my favourite videos from your channel!!!
Awesome!! Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
#codewithargentina
thank for review video
samson looks very good!
Alesis 49 MKII is just the same than M-Audio Keystation 49 MKIII, the same product, just different software package.This is not a new controller in the market, but it's good enough.
I did wonder about that.
What is the DAW for alesis ?
UUhh thank you for saying!!
So there basically the same
I’m disappointed with my brand new keystation 49 the keys are curved in the middle of the device. Middle keys are higher in the middle…i will return this and was thinking to replace by nektar. Is it a mistake ?
Wow! A very nice budget MIDI keyboards, I can see their tough qualities, thanks Mr. Smith! Btw it's me Elo
Hey, thanks!
This was needed thanks
Glad it helped 🙏🏼
#codewithargentina
Are there any keyboard stands that you would recommend for 49 key midi controllers?
Thanks so much for doing these, man. Super helpful!
Thank you for watching!! 🙏🏼
#codewithargentina
Thank you so much for helping so many with choosing the best one for them!
Thank you so much for watching!! 🙏🏻
Perfecto
Great video man. Definitely informed me and I will think about getting one.
Glad I could help 👌🏼
For my needs the Carbon wins, is the only one with the midi port.. I can link it to a second keyboard or an expander
Best comparison video. You are right ON topic. Short and sweet.
Wow! Thanks for watching!! 🙏🏼
Hello guy, I’m considering what is the best choice between nektar se49, alesis 49 and m-audio 49keystation ? Thank you so much ! From VietNam with love ♥️
best under budget awsm man you are
Thank you for watching!!
Is this good for a beginner piano player ? I’m looking for something to practice at home when I don’t have lessons
Thanks
Just say your studio setup video 2020 and helped me a lot. I suggested it to my friend and he liked the video too. The Nektar one is a good value for money .
Thank you for such helpful videos.
Glad I could help! Thanks for sharing!
Finally a review for the alesis q49 mk2
Yep 💪🏼
I not find q49 driver. Please help me😭🙏🙏🙏
I would like a midi out ( 5 pin din ) on the alesis, so I may have to go for the samson. Shame I couldn't have the alesis software.
I have subbed and followed on Spotify 😊
Does any of these have some great daw ?
Like when we buy this , will I great a daw for free in the box?
Edward - do you have an opinion on the M-Audio Keystation 49?
It would've been much more informative and accurate to judge the keys when actually playing and making sounds!! Their sensitivity might always differ.
Great video ^.^ 👍🏾
I will need a smaller one got less storage >_
Thanks for watching!!

@@EdwardSmithMusic ohh nicee🤗

I just bought the Carbon 49 because it has a 5 pin midi out which I need, it was on sale for $69.00 - can't beat that. I have a Roland PC-200 MK 2 with semi-weighted keys but there are about 8 keys that are dead after decades of owning it. I could probably fix it but I'd need to spend as much as I paid for the Carbon 49 so I decided not to as there was no guarantee I could fix it.
How is it? I'm considering to get one
Sir is 49 keys enough to learn piano? I'm beginner''My keyboard has 49 keys and I did just start yesterday
Hi Edward, would really like to know if the keybed of the Alesis Q49 is better than the keybed on the M Audio keystation 49 mk3?
The Alesis key-bed is definitely better in my opinion 🙌🏼
why is alesis q49 exactly same to m-audio keystation 49
The Alesis is a for sure buy 👌
The key feel is really good!
@@EdwardSmithMusic they sure are for the price
i just watch because your videos are good lol
Thank you so much!!
@@EdwardSmithMusic no prob g
Thank u.
Lol from india. 😍😍
Sir. want pad to.
good luck intergrading these into your Daw. you will need additional software and key bindings/assigning etc...
A - D - D - I - T - I - O - N
*Wow these awesome midis .. I hope I can manage to buy one this year .. I really need one to back to produce again .. nice video keep it up ✌🏽*
Thanks for watching!!
Hey can you hook up a Nekter keyboard to MPC software
I have the arturia minilab mk2 at the moment but i don't use drum pads and knobs so I'm thinking of switching to something like the alesis Qmini or the Arturia Microlab. Anyone have any suggestions? I just want something simple with keys that is light and small for easy storage/on the go use
Love the Arturia Microlab! Nice key feel for the size and price. It's only 2 octaves but if you're looking for portability and simplicity, IMO you can't beat it for around $80.
I'm a little disappointed by the lack of launcher pads on these keyboards. Maybe that's just the price point, but those are definitely useful for beats, layers, loops, etc.
Fair enough!
So, what do you think Edward, which one you elect to be best keyboard
The Alesis is my pick for sure!!
dreaming to get the se49 nektar
So no sound test/review?
good content and video.... but i don't know why the play head is yellow? i don't know why....please help...i don't know how to turn it back to red colour
Which midi?
i want a cheep midi keyboard that feels close to Roland D50 on the keys
Hey im about to buy my first midi keyboard. What is better: Alesis or Nektar? Thanks in advance.
Alesis is better for me!
@@EdwardSmithMusic thanks man!
Oh and the Samson one isn't velocity sensitive
I wish I had one of these. My school had these and we would plug them in our laptops and play on them.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✊
Thank you for your video, Help me to get nektar 61 keys or 88 keys am in Tanzania!.
Velocity curves?
I'm ready for that giveaway love your videos just started and getting the set up from your starter pack video today
Awesome! Thank you!
Hi there; great video thanks! I'm looking for a 49-61 key MIDI controller for use on stage with my Yamaha piano (fully weighted keys); the controller would be connected to my piano and used for triggering hammond organ patches on the piano (slides etc aren't the greatest on my fully weighted keys) so I'm looking for something that is the closest to an "organ feel". I haven't been able to find any MIDI controllers with waterfall organ keys, but something with a decent action would be ok I think. So out of these the Alesis? Or do you know of a better solution for what I'm after?
Thanks again!
I recently got the nektar gxp61. The key are a little noisy and the corners or the white keys could use some filing so to speak but it can switch patches on my Juno DS88 and actually feels great for playing organ. Not sure what’s available where you are but m-audio would be another brand that has waterfall keys. Other than the keybed noise I’m loving the gxp keybed feel. I had the Nektar panorama t6 which had a similar keybed but seemed to have more spring back when coming up. I did not like that spring back as much.
@@GospelMusic4Life Cool thanks for all that; I don't think M-Audio has any boards with waterfall keys though; they're all either synth or piano style (unless there are some I haven't found yet)
@@islandtony5009 Sorry I may be mixing up the waterfall and piano style keys. The ones on the gxp are piano style shape but it can do gliss pretty easy if I play it a certain way. Another option is to get a cheap used piano style and file edges although that’s a little extra work. I usually put 3-4 years insurance on my boards or just put them on my homeowners insurance policy. That way I don’t worry about things breaking.
Wish they were under $100 in South Africa....
i feel the best midi keyboard is arturia key lab in 49 keys and mini lab for 25 keys :)
Arturia do make awesome midis!!
I was going to get the key lab essential, but it was around $70 out of my budget, and since I don’t really have a way of getting money, it was just out of reach.
@@ireadysucks3026 bro save up for a while and get the key lab. It is worth the wait
❤❤❤❤❤
Thought I’d be first here
How easy is it to use a mini keyboard please
Very easy. You just plug it in, select an instrument on your computer and play 👌🏼
@@EdwardSmithMusic ok bro thanks ❤️
Does the keyboard decide the sound of the keys?
Nope… you VST instrument does that 👌🏻
@@EdwardSmithMusic so basically if I use for example and akai and an alesis using the same vst the sound will be exactly the same.All that changes is the touch in the keys and stuff like that?
Woww
What about M Audio Keystation 49 MK3 ??
Also great for under $100 👌🏼
Waiting for your 40k subs giveaway....long way...but Hoping that this patience has a good result...
Does the Alesis Q49 have a velocity sensitivity?
Yes
@@baymax001 I bought and I liked it
I'm a beginner I want to make beat....akai midi keyboard is good for me
You can start with the minimum
Omg I'm first again
Came for home studio info, subbed for magic tricks (0:15)
Great review, thank you very much!
Such a shame though that both the Nektar and Alesis DON'T have a MIDI output (so technically, they aren't 'midi keyboards' at all). For the digital producer this might not matter and the OS probably will display it as 'MIDI device', but traditionally MIDI is the 5-pin connection to interface with other hardware. So it's not possible to play hardware synths or sequencers without going through the computer, which introduces latency and eliminates mobility unless you're carrying a laptop around. It's especially sad because almost all other 49-keys-keyboards WITH midi are like twice the size so take up a lot of desk space... the space which you'd rather like to use for the other hardware you're connecting it to... So st*pid...
I just bought the Carbon 49 because it has a 5 pin midi out which I need, it was on sale for $69.00 - can't beat that. I have a Roland PC-200 MK 2 with semi-weighted keys but there are about 8 keys that are dead after decades of owning it.
