PC Advisor has taken a close look at iRig Keys PRO and like what they see: "A compact and portable, bus-powered MIDI keyboard that connects directly to your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, Mac and PC so you can instantly play, record and edit music."
PC Advisor's James Lumgair has taken a close look at iRig Keys PRO and likes what he sees. Here are some of his key comments:
"The new PRO version achieves the same compact finish, the same great features but this time boasts 37 full-sized keys playable with two hands."
"A compact and portable, bus-powered MIDI keyboard that connects directly to your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, Mac and PC so you can instantly play, record and edit music."
"The first thing you notice when you pick up the iRig Keys PRO is how light it is, weighing at only 1.5kg which makes it really portable. It will also sit comfortably on your lap while playing which is useful if you were to take it somewhere which doesn't have table space available."
"It does have a light action and the velocity-sensitive keys feel great when playing unlike some which feel like you are playing a toy keyboard."
"As soon as we plugged the keyboard in to an iPad we were able to open a MIDI-compatible app and it worked straight away thanks to it being bus-powered."
"You can download IK Multimedia’s SampleTank or iGrand Piano app for free or use Garageband to instantly give you access to multiple sounds to record and edit."
"Options can be stored using the set button and quickly recalled for quick sound switching and easy control of various instruments or apps."
PC Advisor's verdict is:
"It’s a nice light keyboard and is fantastic to travel around with as it is easy to set up and works instantly. Some highlights are to use it to practice along to other songs, to jot down your own song ideas and to have fun experimenting with sounds."
