General
This versatile Alesis VI25 USB MIDI controller is a great asset for many studios. Featuring a range of two octaves, it won't serve you if you want to play one of Tchaikovsky's piano concerts, but it offers more than enough functions to provide you with a modern and practical solution for many applications. In addition to 25 semi-weighted, velocity-sensitive keys with aftertouch, sixteen velocity and pressure-sensitive and multicoloured backlit pads are also at your disposal for the creation of drum patterns.
The Alesis VI25 USB MIDI Controller
Like any decent MIDI keyboard, the VI25 is equipped with pitch-bend and modulation wheels. It is also fitted with eight assignable knobs, located above 24 assignable buttons, and with a number of transport buttons for optimal integration with your DAW. The octave shift buttons enable you to play both high and low notes (although still restricted to two octaves), alternating between piccolo and double bass, for instance.
A Reliable Asset for Modern Studios
USB keyboards - even smaller models such as the VI25 - provide the musical keys for your DAW. Many virtual instruments (such as orchestra libraries) use several key switches, often in the bottom octave (lower than the lowest note of a piano!). A small keyboard is ideal to operate these switches. Simply shift the octave to the lowest position and place the keyboard in the corner of your desk, or above/behind a larger keyboard. Mobile studios that work with a laptop/tablet and an audio interface also benefit hugely from a USB keyboard. The VI25 is small enough to fit into your backpack and is powered via USB.

Ik was opzoek naar een compacte controller voor thuis, om te werken met FL studio 12. Omdat mijn oude controller niet meer werd ondersteund door Windows 8.1 heb ik de Alesis Vi25 aangeschaft. Het was vooral de geïntegreerde MPC stijl drumpad wat me aansprak, die ook nog eens mooi oplichten in 3 verschillende kleuren van gevoeligheid van aanslag.
*Waarom geen 5 sterren ?
Het probleem waar ik tegen aan liep was de software (VI25 Editor) om de verschillende knoppen overeen te laten komen met de functies in FL studio, en dan vooral de transport knoppen. Ik ben 3 dagen bezig geweest om dat voor elkaar te krijgen zonder resultaat. Het toewijzen van knoppen kan idd ook in FL studio maar dat geldt niet voor de transport knoppen, dat moet via de VI25 editor.
Een ander punt wat ik wil toelichten is de Alesis support. Na 3 dagen nog steeds geen reactie gehad op email of twitter.
Jammer
voor 22:00 besteld en de volgende dag rond 12:00 ontvangen.
Over het product.
Het is zeer fijn werken in een home recording- music studio met dit product.
Plug and play is ook een musthave van dit product (geen extra drivers nodig om het te gebruiken)
Voor music producers die on the road zijn is dit product perfect. Het is zeer slim en compact voor een 25 serie keyboard met de vele functies. en nogmaals hoef je dus niet drivers ervoor te installeren. handig voor als je naar iemand anders zijn of haar studio gaat.
verder zijn de 16 pads, 8 knobs, ROLL functie en 24 toewijsbare knoppen top! Dit maakt het voor degenen die live performances willen doen zeker wel fijn te gebruiken. Voor automations en het mixen / remixen hetzelfde uitspraak.
