VangoaMIDI Keyboard Controller 25 Keys, Worlde Panda MINI USB Midi Keyboard with Drum Pads, Beat Maker Machine Pad, Black

I've been playing nonstop since I got it and I love it!! It is small, lightweight and handy like I wanted. It comes with an USB cable to plug it to the computer and it has a lot of functions to play with and the sound is great too. I 'm teaching myself to play some easy songs from YouTube and have great fun so far.It is so small and Lightweight I can take it with me when I am traveling to see my niece to play with her or just to keep me entertained in the hotel. I think the quality is great for it's size and specialty for it's price.

What more can I ask for from a MIDI controller? The keys and pads are good, and it has a good variety of knobs and switches. It's fully functional, straight out of the box, and also has configuration software for both Windows, and MacOS. Of course, being a Linux user, that doesn't help much.Summing up, if you're looking for a portable, functional, MIDI controller for experimenting, there are so many worse products you can get. As for better? At this price point, there isn't a lot of competition for the Tuna Mini.

I was really excited to get this item but ended up being really disappointed. The MIDI software is outdated (its from 2003) and impossible to use. It's not user friendly and the item didn't come with a user manual, so I had to look one up online. I was trying to change the colors of the pads and remap them as well. It took FOREVER to even get close because the software produced an error message after just about every setting I tried to input. That plus the instructions in the manual for changing the colors were incorrect- to program the colors, you need to type in a 3 number combination that the seller put on a google drive link. What I was able to achieve felt like I did it by accident. Like I said, I really wanted to like this product and was even excited to set it up and play around with it, but it ended up being a huge headache that I can't customize for my needs. I'd advise getting a different midi keyboard.

I could see why this MIDI controller is so polarizing. It doesn’t come with a manual or even info that you need to download software to edit the parameters and settings/where to find them. That can be a problem if you don’t know what you’re doing, but I read the reviews beforehand and already knew what I was getting myself into. Once you’ve downloaded the software, it’s a bit finicky, and if you don’t know what you’re doing (or have a Mac -it seems a lot of OS X users have had issues with the software not working,) you’ll probably have a few hangups, but I figured things out pretty quickly. The build quality is fine. It doesn’t feel top of the line, but it doesn’t feel like garbage either. The faders have a nice friction. The pads are really sensitive, but I managed to tweak the calibration to suit my needs. Also, figuring out pad colors with RGB is a little weird, mostly because the numbers only go up to 127, rather than 255 like I’m used to. Still, I managed to get all the pads in the assortment of colors I wanted. My least favorite aspect is the pitch and mod ‘wheels.’ They don’t have as good of a feel or control as physical wheels on other keyboards feel, and the mod wheel flat out doesn’t work with most of my VSTis. I’m sure with some dicking around with the configuration, I can solve that issue, but it’s still kind of a pain. All that being said, this works for me. It fit my budget and I use it all the time.

This keyboard is excellent if you are on a tight budget and is a beginner. This keyboard was also my first and I was able to get used to it quite fast as it is a plug and play. Of course you will need a DAW for it but most of the time you are buying this because you already have a DAW. However the keys on the piano is really really really mushy and it is not velocity sensitive so it’s kind of hard to use. The knobs also don’t have an indicator for where it’s twisted at or not. The pads are quite decent and responsive. The buttons are also incredibly responsive. Overall a 3 stars out of 5 mainly because of the piano keys and the knobs and the build quality.

I seeing I was very un happy with this product the seller gave my a complete refund. A kind jester they did not have to do . I definitely recommend this seller. Sometimes bad products arnt there fault . Not a good keyboard tho . Buy a little more pricey one

I read the reviews prior and yet I'm still struggling to setup. The 3 steps appear simple enough but I've tried 3 computers already and the bottom line is that I cannot hear the output live as I'm pressing the buttons. I only hear them after I've recorded it. So essentially I'm unable to hear what I'm recording until the playback. I've tried a laptop and 2 desktops. I suspected the initial issue was that none of my devices use internet explorer and the Pandamini uses IE. I tried troubleshooting and installing OE mode on one desktop but no luck either. The other desktop allowed the software download using Chrome and then I downloaded a free editing app in addition. But still no sound in real-time. If I had to do it over I'd choose a different device, maybe one with an installation desk or built in drivers and also one that has an input aux jack so I can just hear my music/beats real-time before even trying to record. I'm so frustrated . But if I'm being fair, for the price it would've been worth the purchase and the seller did try to assist by sharing the links to the manual in the beginning.

This is a great little midi keyboard with 8 pads. The keys are a little smaller than full size, but larger than the keys on the mini Korg keyboards. Touch sensitive keys and pads. 8 slider controllers and 8 continuous rotary controllers. It also has ribbon sliders for pitch and modulation similar to what Moog did.. The unit is well programmed and works with Reason and numerous keyboard software. The quality is quite good, as is the price! Highly recommended
