    Mr Bolo salute to you sir for all that you’ve done pushing the IOS production community forward over the years.
    I would like that keyboard because I’m teaching 3 kids (7,9,13) about music production (curriculum includes many of your videos whenever we can’t hook up). Sir I have nice stuff and young people can be hard on equipment. I don’t make money from music it’s a hobby I’m blessed to share. Getting their hands off my Roland X would be an amazing thing for me personally. We use the Yousician app though the iPad (covering theory and technique) something like that keyboard would be great for them.
    Please keep doing what your doing and bless you and your family!
    P.S: That video you did about “Not being too old to produce music” was inspiring like a mug dog!!

    Thanks for a good, honest review. I'm just starting with trying to make my own music and was looking into a good but affordable midi board. I barely stumbled across the Starrykey 25 today and it immediately caught my interest. Your review was very helpful to the point that I'll probably go with that one as opposed to others I've researched. Very honorable of you to give one away. It's truly inspiring to see such a kind gesture. I hope whoever receives it is forever grateful to you and to God for your kindness and generosity. You've helped me in a great way Bolo Da Producer. Thanks again!

    Came here because a search brought me to it. I’m an old musician/composer (active in rock/pop/new wave in the 1980s) who is getting back into composing and recording (now Christian music). I suspect you’ve probably already gifted the Starry Key 25 to someone, but if not, man-I would consider it such a blessing to own something like that to assist me in advancing in my composition vocation. At any rate, this was a great video with great info for someone like me! So appreciative for this info and video and looking forward to digging into your channel. God bless!

    I really appreciate your honest opinion on the pricing of these products. I've only recently seen the Donner brand come up, and sort of have a feeling that they don't actually make any of the products, they just find products from China and slap their name on it and then mark it up. Great review, dude.

    Never tried Donner in MIDI but I def would be interested. I own a Pianica from them which is a small piano/saxophone style of a instrument. I am glad they are branching out. I know for years they were working on just grand pianos and Organs but they stepping it up. trying to move up in the game. Bolo thanks for this man. I watch all your videos its because of you Invested in the in a MPC One and have never looked back at using any other controller. Best stand alone ever.

    Hello Mr. Bolo, I think your show is dope and very informative. I need that controller bad because I don’t have one to connect to my iPad Pro. I have a Kong triton pro 76 key I picked up brand new back in 2001. I wished I had bought electric drums instead now that I know what I know. Nevertheless, as you know the triton is monster heavy, in fact I hardly use it now. Too big to be lugging around. I just really need that midi controller to connect to my ipad and I’d be on my way. I’ve got some grand kids I’m trying to get interested in producing music. That smaller keyboard is perfect to carry around and teach music to my youngens. Keep up the good work. Me and my grand kids appreciate ya 👍🏽

It’s just small enough to fit into my bag too!! Anyways hope to hear back from you! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

    Pad controllers often have weak sensitivity or double triggers. If Donner makes good pads, then these controllers are probably worth the money. Pad pressure is in a micrometer range, so it's not easy to produce them.

    I could really use a midi controller, although I’ve never owned one. I’ve been trying to make the most of what I have, I’ve been using a 2gen iPad, iPhone and Mac to create melodies and beats. I would use this midi keyboard to continue to create my first upcoming album, and also continue to help support upcoming artist within my church and local community. I’m a young man trying to make a positive difference in my community through music and ministry. Where I live the children and young adults enjoy hearing the type of music I create, having a midi keyboard for me, would reduce the time it takes to produce music. If I am chosen I greatly appreciate it, nevertheless thanks for the vids, and taking the time out to read our comments.
