midi friendly, good action
The media could not be loaded. We have a non-weighted piano we are able to compare this to, also made by AIJOY. The action on this keyboard is decidedly different and improved. The keys are soft and heavy, like a real piano. The weighted action does make the overall keyboard heavier. The sound is impressive and this one comes with a lot of features, like tempo kits and drum keys etc. good for a beginner. The black keys are pretty light and visibly a lower grade grained plastic, but they still play very well. The faux wood grain texture almost seems metallic, very dense and does not seem like it will chip, but no doubt the particle board is part of the weight. For us we are enjoying just playing a lot again and are also very active with Ableton Note on our iPhone. We can sample straight into the app from the piano using the midi USB that comes with it. It has a bluetooth speaker so if you have composed something and want to play along with it, you can by sending the file from your phone to the piano speaker. This one cost about 1/3 more than the basic non-weighted key piano, which we still love and is very easy to also connect to midi. The core difference is in the keys and sustain, which is either built in or you can use the pedals that come with it. You can also record straight into the piano electronics on the main dash. The display is easy to read and very intuitive. While we love the simpler model for someone learning and doing a lot with midi like us, this opens up exploration pretty quickly. We are not thrilled with the little angled legs from a design point of view, but that is just us. We have gone from no piano in many years to playing almost daily again. So very worth it to us. No tuning, minimal cleaning. It also comes with a velvetine cover, which is ok at best. They put the quality into the piano and that is what makes this midi-friendly board worthwhile. PS the bluetooth device you are looking for is GZUT-MUSIC. Read more
