Die Software dazu ist eher nicht mein Ding, aber mit BitWig und Cakewalk hat es auf Anhieb funktioniert. Schade dass ich auf diesn Artikel nicht frher aufmerksam geworden bin. Fr mich eine klare Kaufempfehlung.
Por lo que vale no est mal. Obviamente no es el mejor teclado, pero suficiente para un uso espordico.

La caja lleg maltratada y rota como se ve. Me asustaba la idea que hubieses sido abierto o se hubiera daado el producto, pero ya lo prob y funciona perfectamente. No s si fu cosa de a pequetera pero fuera de eso me encanta!

Quality is good considering the price point. Key bed is touch sensitive yet unlike the feel of ‘real piano keys’. Meaning the touch is both good and bad depending on personal preference. Nevertheless The 49 key bed can access the entire 88 notes with the ease of access Octave + – function and Transpose function. With a good quality stand alone plugin such as Ravenscroft 275 for iPad iOS 12 or Addictive Keys for PC windows 10 the Q49 MKII controller can deliver real astonishing dynamic resonant piano tones. Albeit the software is vitally important to tailor tone to a real concert grand quality far removed from the terrible popular sounding keyboards with built in speakers
Ironically the light yet touch-responsive keys enable wide open arpeggiated chord to be played with extreme ease compared to the sturdy key-bed action of an acoustic grande or heavier weighted key-bed.. For the novice pianist as well as a seasoned pianist the 49 keys covers the tonal range and octave of most music. The Q49 will do justice to the software described above. The best part is the price of the Q49 coupled with good piano software provides budget entry into the world of the enviable tone of the ‘concert grande’.
Well I haven’t set up yet but um will get it working soon lol still trying to test i
In Zusammenarbeit mit dem kostenlosen DAW von AKAI ist dieses kleine Midi-Keyboard eine hervorragende Quelle fr Inspiration und eine gute Mglichkeit fr bungen. Es ist klein und spielt sich sehr gut. Wenn man allerdings ein Keyboard mit normalen Klaviertasten hat und das QMini als bungskeyboard nutzen will, lernt man mit 2 unterschiedlichen Tastengren. Fr mich war das ein Problem. Deshalb mein Tipp: berlegt euch, was mit dem Keyboard gemacht werden soll. Als “Solo-Keyboard” ist das Produkt sehr zu empfehlen.
Keyboard is lightweight and very easy to use with both the iPhone and iPad. Only downside for me is the lack of a headphone output and when I paired my AirPods there seemed to be a latency issue which was off putting. Overall though I think this is great value for money.
Nur musste ich es leider zurckschicken, weil der Anschluss mit einem IPad Pro nur dann funktionierte, wenn das IPad den Keyboard als Input erkannte. Manchmal klappte es, manchmal nicht. Es ist mir bis heute ein Rtsel, in welcher Reihenfolge alles angeschlossen werden muss. Ich habe alles probiert.
Jetzt habe ich mir einen von Akai geholt, wo der Anschluss mit IPad innerhalb von Sekunden geht, aber ich vermisse echt diesen Keyboard von Alesis (der am PC und lteren Gerten, die keinen lightning kabel brauchen, brigens einwandfrei luft). Die Tasten vom Alesis fhlen sich viel angenehmer an, die Finger klemmen nicht zwischen den Tasten und das Gert sieht hochwertiger aus.
Echt schade 🙁
Lo compr y lo devolv porque las teclas son duras y muy pequeas. Sensibilidad muy poca en el tacto de las teclas. Quizs para memorizar posiciones y ejercicios como principiante puede valer, pero dista mucho de lo que es un teclado o piano de baja calidad, ya no voy a comprarlo con nada de calidad. Es cmodo porque cabe en la mochila y no pesa nada, casi ni te enteras de que lo llevas encima. No necesita pilas ni cargador porque todo se hace por USB. Es muy prctico, pero no busques calidad. Si eres principiante y adems slo quieres usarlo de controlador de eventos sonoros en tu PC quizs est bien al precio que est.

Tastiera mini portatile. E’ una tastiera da viaggio, piccola. Come spiego nel video secondo me utile per creare piccole melodie, campionamenti, pattern di batterie, linee di basso, sicuramente non adeguata per imparare a suonare il piano. Grazie. Spero che la mia esperienza possa esserti utile.
SUPER….nice product good one also it as velocity sensitivity … I downloaded the fl studio trial version and using this device .. also its mpc beats also works well … a quality product. loved it …go for it.

Midi works well on usb and on the 5 pin Midi. Reasonable feel on the keys and the velocity works well. It also has an expression input that many keyboards do not have.

No soy pianista, pero como productor y arreglista tengo que decir que es muy buen producto. El plstico se siente algo fragil, no lo sacara de casa pero para practicar piano y producir esta genial. Me parece que las teclas no se percudiran como el maudio que tena anteriormente. Repito, no es para pianistas puesto que la tecla no pesa pero es un buen controlador sin duda.
Leggera, piccola e stupenda.
si collega tramite usb che viene fornito e soprattutto compatibile con ogni software per suonare !

Well made and designed in every respect. Portability has meant I’m creating more now..then going to my 88keys after. Very fond of this little kb! Check it out on the Utoob to see more. I like it a lot. Very good velocity and sensitivity…so enables expression very well. Kinda loathe giving @m@zon ANY kind of support..however in this case I could not resist.

Buona tastiera ben costruita, i tasti sono silenziosi.
L’unica nota un po’ negativa, almeno per me che sono neofita, che il software a corredo parecchio pesante e difficile da gestire.
This was an early Christmas present for my grandson who is taking GCSE music. He is more than pleased with it. It matches the school key boards and helps with his studies
Ho acquistato questa tastiera e grazie ad essa ho potuto incidere grandi melodie su fl studio con una spesa veramente piccola ottimo oggetto

Yo me dedico a la msica profesionalmente, soy baterista pero tambin le entro a la produccin,
este controlador me sac de apuros, tiene buena sensibilidad, tengo dedos grandes y el tamao de las teclas me es cmodo, buen funcionamiento, solo que no tiene pantalla y en las funciones de asignar programacin no sabes si estas o no estas. jejeje…fuera de esto todo bien!
Piccola, pratica e funzionale ma i tasti non danno un buon feedback, sono evidentemente di bassa qualit.

Alesis Qmini 32 worked instantly right out of the box with Mac using Finale software, no fiddling with anything. Replaces a huge1980’s Casio 5-octave keyboard, but getting used to the mini-keys is not so bad so far. Mostly using for notation entry so the octave transpose was the most important feature for me and it works very well. Nice surprise, the octave transpose keys turn green for 1 8ve up or down, then orange for 2 8ves, bright red for 3 8ves and flashing red for 4 8ves – easy to keep track of octaves when going from instrument to instrument. pressing both + and – octave keys together takes you back to non-transposed. Very happy with this for the price. Recommended for notation entry if you don’t mind the mini keys.
Clavier semi lest trs bon .
Semble solide pour un si bas prix!
Besoin d’un ordinateur pour fonctionner.
Likes: Easy to use, inexpensive, seems solidly built, nice little free software bundle.
Dislikes: Not entirely flat. Seems the base is ever so slightly curved. There are
Six pads on the bottom so removing the centre two stopped it from rocking whilst in use.
Used it solidly since purchase and although it was bought as a bit of fun, I’m now learning how to use it for inclusion in mixes and backing tracks.
I can’t say anything bad about this product because it’s complete.. worth the money and I love it.
Sono una principiante per quanto riguarda l’utilizzo di questo tipo di strumenti e devo dire che con il supporto del software integrato Mpc Beats facilmente intuibile. Mi sto trovando molto bene, le registrazioni sono pulitissime
Top notch, and pretty good software that comes with it, brilliant for logic as well and other DAW you use
My boys have been making music on his PC with i
La tastiera con dinamica piccola e compatta che mi mancava 😉 Ottima per Logic Pro e MainStage, ma c’ anche del software incluso molto valido, anche per Windows.
Si collega via Usb (cavo incluso) e si suona… veramente leggera e funzionale!!! Soddisfattissimo!!!

Great feel of the keys (black keys have different texture which is nice) — pitch and modulation wheels feel very responsive. Sturdy construction, rubber feet keep it in place well. plug and play with devices makes it a handy upgrade. Very happy with this.
Funciona bien, el software que supuestamente regalan, es gratuito o sea, que regalarte no te regalan nada.

It’s the same as M-audio keystation 49 mk3, just rebranded.
The keys are really good at this price point. No setup required, plug and play. Comes with a lot of free stuff (plugins, DAW, learning lessons and whatnot).
Great value keyboard, but the black keys are wider than most keyboards, leaving a thinner gap on the G and A keys. For most people this won’t be an issue, but if you have particularly big or stocky hands you will not be able to play chords like Eb which typically require playing deeper between the black keys, because you’ll end up pressing down those black keys by friction of squeezing into the gap. I don’t have this issue with any of my other keyboards.
If you have more average hands, though, this is a very excellent keyboard for the price. I had tried the previous model of this which had clicky keys–no good for detailed dynamics–but this one has fixed this issue with very smooth, quiet and responsive keys. I’m sad to have to be returning it but I had to leave my recommendation all the same because for most people this will be a really great purchase.
Mi hijo esta comenzando a tocar piano y a producir msica, todo funciona correctamente y funciona para lo bsico en FL Studio. Eso si, la mayora de comandos del teclado estn enfocados en MPC Beats, sin embargo esto no afecta realmente mucho.

This is the best keybed among all the 49keys that I’ve tested.. Really really good! Not springy and not noisy.. 5 stars for this!
Las teclas se sienten que son de un controlador barato pero la sensibilidad es genial.
Altamente recomendable para comenza
It’s a pretty good cheap alternative to some of the bigger brand options. Good for on the go writing and brainstorming. Beyond that, one might it limited. But very good usb keyboard for sure.
Very easy to use and it’s very light and portible. The keys are semi weighted and feel nice to use.
Es un controlador sencillo pero muy bueno, tiene sensibilidad, fcil de configurar y muy buenos parmetros que ayudaran a trabajar perfectamente con el MIDI. Recomendado.
I have been using this with garageband and just having a blast with it. Recommended for a casual musician who is tired of using the “virtual” qwerty keyboard that I’ve used for so long haha.
I purchased this midi controller to replace my old M-Audio Axiom Pro 49! The Axiom pro had a faulty pitch wheel! The pitch would drift randomly…it nearly drove me insane!! I though this controller would make a cheap fix! I was not disappointed! For the money it’s well worth it! Five Stars!
It’s smaller than you think it is, which if you’re struggling for space or portability, this thing is excellent. It’s also not very complicated so it’s brilliant for beginners. The keys respond well to touch and it feels sturdy enough
Keyboard 9 & 10 came today- number 9 is reviewed elsewhere, but at number 9 having ALL been utter embarrassing failures, I was considering not even wasting my time on it. Holy Moly was I wrong…
Pros:
1. keyboard is totally playable, low hit, low fatigue, registers well (even gentle piano) and is SUPER quiet, like each key is individually felted. No squeak, no scratch, and no clang. Beautiful experience.
2. Knobs are high quality and register fine parameters
3. Buttons are easy to use and well placed.
4. SUPER light
5. all casing surfaces are matt and textured, and surprisingly rugged, this will fend off greasy-fingered late night playing.
6. Set up on Win 10 was 2.3 seconds- plug and play (with Saurus) took 9 seconds.
7. The modulation button (which I gag at even the mention of usually) is actually reminicent of the old Juno white buttons, I actually liked it- who knew?
8. Has a Kensington lock port.
Cons:
1. Pitch bend is unusable, no control, no precision, sometimes no logic behind it. For something performing this bad NOT having it would have been less of a downvote.
2. The usual and expected USB-B connector is replaced here with a mini-usb for no reason that I can see, there is PLENTY of real estate, we all know how strong and durable these are don’t we? (said no one) I never had a B end go on ANY device EVER. But I’ve had about 40 Mini-USB’s fail.
To summarise, a fantastic feeling and performing keyboard, well made, low fatigue and at a fantastic size and weight.
9.5/10 (for the dumb cable and wasted pitch bend opportunity.)
Sencillo pero muy practico. Tiene todo lo necesario y es econmico. Lo uso con Logic Pro X
I got this one so that I could do synth parts
Great small synth feel on the keys
Fantastic controller for a pianist that needs the whole breadth of the keyboard to do his work, and also to feel more comfortable when writing music digitally. It is also very portable – while long it is also quite thin and light making it easy to fit in the back of a car. I had a much smaller controller from alesis before, and while loving the key sensitivity and the feel of their controllers, felt increasing frustration when writing music as I was unable to express myself pianistically. This is the perfect solution. 5 stars.
I chose this controller because of its form factor and limited work space. I didn’t need all the Daw features or sliders. I already own a daw controller that does a way better job.
The keys are responsive and they have a nice pushback to them even though they are not weighted. It comes with software that Alesia lets you access once you’ve registered your device.
Update:
After being able to access the website and install their drivers I’ve been really impressed by the quality of this product for such a cheap price it does the job perfectly for anyone starting out with music or even if you’re experienced the benefit of having a lightweight midi keyboard to take while travelling is also a plus!
So apart from the box of the keyboard arriving in questionable quality (thanks!) – The keyboard itself is great, feel good to play and the bonus programs are a nice touch. Definitely recommend if you are a beginner in the world of creating music and using DAW’s.
USB connection worked straight away with no additional software/drivers. Using with Ableton Live and Addictive Keys.
All keys are touch-sensitive – impressive response in the DAW.
As pictured, it’s about the same size as a standard QWERTY keyboard. The black and white piano keys are probably 3/4 scale to a standard musical keyboard, but still very usable, even with big hands.
Only used for a weekend so far but does the job for adding additional MIDI instruments and small parts. May be a touch on the small side if you use MIDI all the time in everything you do.
Note: I’m no MIDI expert. Also have an AKAI LPD8 pad controller; but that’s quite rubbish by comparison (similar price point)
Leider ist auf dieser Tastatur kein Splitpunkt einstellbar. Aber sonst ist die Mglichkeit an Einstellungen recht umfangreich und durch die gute Beschriftung (ber der Tastatur) auch einfach zu programmieren. Die Tastatur selbst mute ich in der Mitte durch eine Unterlage etwas absttzen da sie sonst beim bespielen nachfedert. Die Tasten selbst haben eine glatte Oberflche. Fr die fehlende Splitmglichkeit ziehe ich einen Punkt. Insgesamt aber ist diese Tastatur sehr preiswert und kann deshalb weiter empfohlen werden.
