About this product

Product Information

Unlike other MIDI controllers that not only require a decent external soundcard but also a significant amount of know-how and time spent in order to configure them properly, the Alexis Q49 plugs straight into your laptop's USB port. It's as easy to install as a QWERTY keyboard or optical mouse, instantly giving you or any other creative type a world of sounds and musical possibilities at your finger tips.

ALESIS Q49
just started using this for home use .it's quite good with the use of ableton live and there is a lot to explore and create with .the only niggle i have is the key response is a bit slow . be sure to have a good understanding of sampling music and being computer clever and not just handy at playing a little ditty on a piano. also it seems to only play one note at a time so no chords but i have only just started fiddling about with it so i may be wrong about that .to sum up it's a nice little gizmo to add to your instrument collection for the money

Excellent simple controller, well made.
This controller has a good feel and plenty of keys for the price (£60 in our case). Midi out via 5 pin din or via USB connection to computer which also supplies power. Class compliant, so no need for a driver. 49 keys may not be enough for a pianist, but for playing single handed lines it’s ideal.

Great quality for the price...
For £59 you can't go wrong really. Simple no frills midi keybiard with full size keys. Keyboard action is not weighted but its fine unless you are a concert pianist. Midi out so you can also control outboard midi sound devices for live work. Feels solid and of reasonable quality.

Bargain - does the job well.
Seems like a pretty decent keyboard. It's very compact, which is perfect for me. Good value.

Brilliant!
Really solid MIDI Keyboard. Fully touch-sensitive keys and the slider is very useful as well.

Great midi keyboard controller.
Works out of the box on my Linux Desktop through Bitwig. I highly recommend this 49 key controller for anyone on a budget.
