The LPK25 tap tempo allows you to just keep tapping along while you play. Normally, in scenarios like this that I have seen thus far, the tap tempo only works for a couple of steps, introduces some weird hitch, and then resets itself. Tap Tempo, as well as arpeggiator resolutions, which are toggled by pressing the arp/on off button, and pressing a key on the keyboard, can all be accomplished while you are actually playing. What I was not prepared for is how cool the arpeggiator is. It was also really exciting to finally have one controller that worked for my laptop, as well as my iPad Mini, iPhone, etc. And, once up and running, I was surprised by how responsive the LPK25 is, as well as how much fun it felt to play an almost full-sized keyboard with favorite synths of mine, like Cyclop, Korg Gadget, and so on. Wireless and ArpĬonnecting to my iPad was a cinch. What’s crazy is as small as it is, it’s still possible to play with two hands simultaneously. The only exposed area is directly under the keyboard. There is no room to bounce a key off, from the corners. But, have enough mush to keep things sensitive, should you need to. I’d almost compare the action to an accordion, or an old Hohner Melodica. These are the best keys I’ve experienced on a mini-controller, thus far. they tend to be the deal breaker for most Keys It works with my laptop, and my iPad, and my iPhone.
There’s actually a port for a sustain pedal! I could actually play piano pieces on a portable keyboard? Crazy!.The size and action feel comparable to a full-sized keyboard.The keys are recessed, and housed in a way that it’s difficult to imagine the keys being broken, without really jamming some stuff on top of it.Wary, but still eager for a wireless MIDI controller, I picked up the new LPK25, for a few reasons. And, the keys are usually so small, you just can’t play that much, if you have adult sized hands. Things like keys breaking off, occur a lot. They don’t survive my almost two-year old. My biggest problem is that they never tend to last in my backpack, or. I’ve been bit by portable controllers in the past, especially the really small mini keyboards. Suddenly, a moment that was about to be filled with terror became magical. And, when I turned it on, it connected to my iPad 4 Mini, no problem. Strangely enough, no pieces flew, no plastic shattered. Upon first time removal from the box, my one year old decided to throw my new LPK25 Wireless on to the hardwood floor of our home.
