General
Equipped with 61 keys, the Alesis VI61 USB MIDI controller offers stiff competition for most modern keyboards and synthesizers. This complete controller features all the essential functions you need to control virtual instruments, such as VSTs. The VI61 is equipped with 61 semi-weighted, velocity-sensitive keys with aftertouch, but also offers 16 velocity and pressure-sensitive pads, backlit in various fantastic colours, which are ideal for the creation of drum grooves.
Possibilities of the Alesis VI61 USB MIDI Controller
Naturally, the VI61 is equipped with the familiar pitch-bend and modulation wheels, but other controls are also provided: 16 assignable knobs and 48 assignable buttons are at your disposal. Integration with your DAW is facilitated by the necessary transport buttons (play, stop, etc.) Although 61 keys provide plenty of range for most situations, the octave shift buttons enable you to use even the deepest double bass and highest piccolo sounds.
A Reliable Asset for Modern Studios
USB keyboards serve as musical keys for your DAW and offer you almost unlimited possibilities. A keyboard such as the VI61 can easily be used in combination with another USB keyboard, for instance to expand your available octave range. This facilitates the use of key switches, and enables you to switch articulation, provided your virtual instrument supports it. You can also use the VI61 to play an entirely different MIDI channel, creating even more options. Do you enjoy being outside on a sunny day? Take your productions with you! The VI61 is USB-powered and easily fits in a keyboard bag with your laptop or tablet. Find a nice spot in the park and this versatile MIDI controller will have you producing masterpieces in no time.

Helaas houdt het daar op. De afwerking is matig, niet alle toetsen zijn gelijkmatig verdeeld.
De meegeleverde software om het keyboard aan te passen is zo dramatisch slecht dat zelfs iets simpels als het assignen van een midikanaal aan het keybed niet is gelukt.
Les pads sont réactif au touché et sensible à la vélocité.
Je note un "bémol" l'assignation des boutons de transport (lecture, play, record ...) via FL STUDIO n'est pas aisé, j'ai du cherché plusieurs jours et voici une information qui devrait être utile à d'autres acheteurs.
Dans la section midi de FL STUDIO et une fois votre Alesis VI 61 branché, section input, dans "controller type" il faut choisir "M-Audio Oxygen 25" pour que les boutons, play / record du Alesis VI 61 soit reconnus avec FL STUDIO.
Dommage également qu'il n'y ai pas de bouton pour transposer.
Pour résumer c'est un clavier midi de bonne facture que je recommande malgré c'est point négatif.
Absolute aanrader !
Concluderend, een keyboard voor de gevorderde en beginnende producer waar je lekker mee weg speelt.
Tip! Schaf er ook een sustainpedaaltje bij aan.
Bij problemen kun je terecht op het forum van Alesis, waar je redelijk snel een antwoord op je vraag kunt verwachten.
Fijne aankoop waar ik nog veel plezier aan ga beleven.
