Donner DMK-25 PRO MIDI Keyboard

WHAT A WONDERFULL PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, SO WELL MADE, STURDY, GREAT LOOKING WITH SUCH A NON RESTRICTED EASY KEYBOARD ACTION. EVEN AN OLD MAN WITH STIIF FINGERS CAN PLAY SOME FAST ACTION TUNES ON THIS DEVICE:)

Great look and nice design. I purchased this so I could produce music on the go reliably, I purchased this as a travel companion so I could produce music on the go. Design: The design on this item is slick, it looks and feels professional grade, for it's very low price. I like the all black key choice and the LED's work perfectly and are easy to understand. Keybed: The keybed itself has a small range of motion meaning you're not able to press far down on the keys. This allows for easy slides and quick legato playing but as a pianist does feel quite strange. The keys are also very small, this helps with its portability and means you can reach further than you would be able to on an full size instrument. The keybed also makes use of dynamics depending on the speed the key is pressed it will produce a different volume. This is my only issue with the keyboard so far as it's not as responsive as I'd like it to be, but for this price it's still a great feature to have. Drum pads and slider: unfortunately I am only using garageband at this time as my DAW and it does not allow me to change what the sliders or pads are at by default so I have not been able to test them as of this time. The drums pads I have been able to use. The drum pads are velocity sensitive and work really well, they also feel nice and respond perfectly. LED Screen: Not much to say here other than it works fine and desplays what is needed. Other: This keyboard also has a fair few other features like the ARP which works perfectly fine and other cool things like the note repeat. Conclusion: Absolutely great product especially for the cheap price tag, great for new producers or producers on the go, if you want it as you main MIDI controller I would advise against it but it wouldn't be a bad starting choice. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the velocity response on the keybed. Solid choice and great price.

Thanks to the OLED screen and the software, it's actually quite easy to set up and use. Documentation is actually helpful and it's printed rather than just being online! And a nice braided USB cable into the bargain. The aftertouch on the pads is surprisingly useful, and I can use the pads as keyswitches to change programs on software plug-ins. Keyboard is usable, but there's no way it can replace a full-size full-travel keyboard. I'd like to see more velocity options. ARP and chord functions work, but I would like to see the ARP synced to an incoming MIDI clock. I'd prefer to see HUI or MC emulation on the transport keys rather than what is there right now. But it's usable. I have yet to get MIDI OUT from the 3.5mm jack – it might be the cable. And the firmware upgrade process hangs at 10% But having said all that, it looks good, and provides a lot of functionality for the size – not to mention the price. Recommended.

Shipped really fast and I was surprised to see it was still in its box completely untouched and new and so pretty. I've been looking for a good keyboard and this is the best! Its all black style with easy computer setup and quick to learn buttons. Great for beginners

Awesome product came on time I had it was as described definitely recommend it makes a great gift
