    "Can you use it to make some music" ........ Damn, even Stevie wonder would be impressed.
    Awesome review and amazing skills.

      Glad you like it :) -- It turned out a little meaner than I was originally anticipating, but that's ok. :)

      By the way - this comes from an old and completely free VST synth called "Synth1" that I really love. The bassline here is straight Synth1 with only a little compression. No additional effects.

    Usually north americans reviewers are reaaally annoying with branding and stuff "If its not akai or some big name, its not worth it". You gave a different perspective, a really good review, stating clear ups and downs in your opinion. I really liked your review. Thank you very much

    I think you could find a way to ride a bicycle that had no wheels! Appreciate the honesty and candor by which you review this item. You definitely brought it to its limits - showing all that it "can" do, and where it was lacking. Given the cost though, I agree, in a pinch it could be quite a handy tool for the right person. I think it will be really helpful to the company that supplied it, and to the buyer, given how you explained and demonstrated all the fine tuning issues and solutions. Great video!!

    Just will need a bit of help setting it up from the sounds of things 😁

    I got one of the Worlde Panda Minis. Glad they seemed to have made improvements. I had to pound on it to get a note, which made velocity sensitivity useless. Unlike the Tuna, though, the software didn't let me adjust it. Also the keys were very stiff, and the more keys you pressed, chords for example, the more resistance there was.

    I'm not a musician or composer. I was looking at this as a way to speed up my foley sessions using a midi controller to "play" my footstep sounds and my various gunshots and so on so forth using like a drum plugin like Sitala. This controller is now like 50$ Canadian ... I think I'll pick it up, thanks for the review.

    Jonathon! I'm mostly new to your channel but I was hooked when I listened to your bombstep and this monday series. I'm a novice, mostly self-taught piano player who also has experience with woodwinds and other percussion. I would love to make some music of my own as a hobby but I have no idea where to start in terms of equipment and music programs on my computer. Could you (or some of the people in the comments) recommend some decent basic recording/looping equipment? Maybe do a video on the basics of the equipment you use? I love this channel!

    Thank you for this review. I have a question for ya. I see these are fine for windows or mac, and I assume it will work with linux. I use linux and am new to trying to make music, but if I cannot load the software that comes with this, would I be able to program it using my daw or some other kind of editing software or script? Maybe? On the one hand these are all plug and play, but then they come with software so I am a bit confused.

    Hi! Would it be possible for you to post your configurations, a screenshot perhaps for the knobs and sliders? And also the pads?
    I bought the midi controller after watching your video :))) And my problem right now is that as I'm trying to configure it, the knobs and sliders get limited to just one step up or down, like 64 to 65 range. But the default ones inside the controller has full range.
    The problem is I can't configure the piano keys at all, as you've noted they do need adjustment to be able to be pressed normally.

    • @agathauy2709
      @agathauy2709 5 лет назад

      I just realized that the preloaded values on the controller are actually smooth :O There's really something wrong with the midi editor. No piano key volume problem at all. Or at least the values there in the editor are bad since I can't get the right config after many combinations.
