General

Acorn Instruments' Masterkey 61 USB/MIDI keyboard is a very attractively-priced instrument for your music studio. It has 61 large, velocity-sensitive keys on which you can play anything from Bach to Justin Bieber. Expression can be added using the modulation wheel and pitch-bend wheel, while four rotary knobs and the fader give you control over five MIDI parameters. Octave, Transpose, Program Change and MIDI channel can all be adjusted quickly and easily. Connections are easy too with USB offering Plug & Plug functionality on Mac and PC.

Software included

The Masterkey 61 comes with a licence code for Presonus Studio One Artist software. You can produce music using this DAW software that also includes 25 high-quality virtual instruments and effects. The software also has more than 4 GB of loops (samples) that you can use on your tracks. Be warned though, once you get started, you might find it difficult to stop again!

Stevige MIDI keyboard. Mijn vorige voelde aan als speelgoed in vergelijking met deze. En ik heb nu meer toetsen voor een schappelijk prijsje! Daarbij voelen de toetsen aan zoals bij een akoestische piano, wat goed is voor een betere dynamiek en nuance.

Dit is een prima midi-keyboard. Zeker voor dit bedrag is het voor de meeste mensen betaalbaar.

Fijne MIDI controller, die zeker een bang for a buck is. Ik gebruik hem voornamelijk voor het toevoegen van pianosamples aan mijn nummers. Daarvoor is het handig dat er een transposefunctie op dit dingetje zit. Inpluggen en gaan met die banaan.

Handige keyboard met 61 toetsen, zelf gekocht als tijdelijke vervanger van mijn main keyboard die weg is voor reparatie.

Buildy quality en de toetsen zijn verrassend te noemen voor de prijs, een beetje vergelijkbaar met de M-Audio Keystations (vorige generatie).

Clavier très bon rapport qualité prix. Ne requiert aucun pilote pour son installation qui se fait instantanément. Fonctionne très bien avec Synthésia et Musecore.
Seul petit point qui me dérange un peu, j'ai noté une différence de près d'un centimètre sur 4 octaves entre ce clavier et le piano droit de ma fille. Mais je ne sais pas lequel est correct....
Finalement on peut dire que l'on est satisfait par notre achat.

Handig midi klavier, Ik zelf heb hem uitsluitend gekocht aangezien ik even 61 toetsen nodig had.
Dit is een handig en goedkope oplossing om dan toch je productie door te zetten. :)

Vu son prix c'est le clavier maître idéal pour tous ceux qui n'ont pas besoin d'une ribambelle de potards, avec juste les fonctions indispensables (transposition, assignation de valeurs Midi aux différents boutons, réglages divers) accessibles en une seconde. Le clavier lui-même est loin de celui d'un piano mais reste néanmoins agréable, pas trop spongieux, et l'ensemble est de bonne facture. Seul bémol, l'absence de réglage de la courbe de vélocité (il faut vraiment taper fort pour dépasser 110).
