    Thank you so much for the information; though this was a little while ago I'm deciding on buying this keyboard for my first trying on MIDI recording, so for the price they retail for, nowadays I can take the chances and your video helped a lot! I've always been a hardware user, I have 6 full size keyboards, basses, guitars, drums and as a multi instrumentalist musician I like to do it the old fashioned way, real instruments, note by note, taking my time, but when travelling, away from my equipment MIDI recording comes handy, even if to only get the original ideas recorded, for future work

    • @iceberg220
      @iceberg220 2 роки тому +1

      Hi there! I’m an old fashioned musician who likes to record with hardware, real time playing real instruments instead of virtual ones, but sometimes, due to long trips and no access to my instruments I have no choice but to use virtual ones; that said, for what I have used the V25, it’s been awesome! I’m basically just accessing what Logic has to offer, when it comes to instruments; it was a quick plug and play, Logic recognized it immediately (same with Studio One); the big plus for me was the full size semi weighted keys and the ability to play drums in real time using the pads; I’m not sure I’ll be using other features, but I can highly recommend this little gem and I’m sure you’ll love it!

    Sweet video presentation. You are probably using a DSLR to get that effect. As for the Alesis v25, I'll get that next month. Oh sure, the Alesis Mini baby going for $58 on Amazon, but it's pretty Limited when it comes to the Alesis V25 since it does not have a sustain pedal Jack built in, but the Alesis v25 does. Awesome review.

      You should get 49 keys on a midi to have more room to play piano and grow. This will help you in the long run.
