General
The Laptop Performance Keyboard series by Akai (also known as LPK), stands out because of its small size. This 25-keys MIDI keyboard is easy to use. The AKAI LPK25 MIDI keyboard works with MIDI via USB. You can play the melody in, but you can also assign function to the keys , in order to easily trigger sounds and functions. This will make use of the mouse less of a necessity and you will be able to enjoy the ‘feel’ of a proper keyboard.
AKAI LPK-25 MIDI Keyboard
You connect the AKAI LPK-25 MIDI keyboard to a PC, Mac or laptop. In combination with virtual instruments on your computer, you will be able to play in melodies and chords. When the melody is out of reach of the keys, you can easily lower or raise the keyboard’s range by an octave. There is a tap-tempo function as well as an arpeggiator for the automatic generation of melodic sequences, based on chord-tones.

Het enige wat ik jammer vind is dat er geen nederlandese handleiding bij zit of te downloaden is, maar inmiddels ben ik er na een week wel uit.
Alhoewel ik er bepaald geen symfonieën op heb gecomponeerd, en top40 succes is helaas ook uitgebleven, heb ik er toch veel plezier aan beleefd. De toetsen waren stil, maar luisterde goed.
Totdat helaas, vorige week, één van de toetsen, het was de E, een beetje bleef plakken. In een poging tot reparatie heb ik het dierbare vrindje open gemaakt en voorzichtig schoongemaakt. Maar helaas, deze apparaatjes worden niet gemaakt voor langdurig gebruik, al snel braken twee witte toetsen af. Vanavond heb ik er dus afscheid van moeten nemen...
Pro's:
-voelt niet goedkoop
-makkelijk formaat
-meteen te gebruiken uit de doos
-veilige aankoop voor beginners
-geweldige prijs kwaliteit verhouding
Cons:
-in het begin stroef
-geen input voor sustain pedaal
-rubberen toetsen aan de zeikant moet je goed
indrukken voor ze werken.
Ik raad het zeker aan voor beginnende producers. Ik denk dat meer ervaren producers mogelijk behoefte hebben aan meer opties zoals een ingang voor sustain, wat knoppen op het keyboard voor volume etc. Maar zelfs voor hun is dit keyboard ontzettend bruikbaar. Laat de lage prijs je niet denken dat dit speelgoed is. Het doet wat het hoort te doen en doet het goed.
Super item om erbij te hebben.
De toetsen gaan in het begin wat zwaar.
Prima kwaliteit.
