The battle of the budget 25 keys
The battle of the budget 25 keys Posted on: 12.03.2011 by Asha Kravetz Hi guys, Just had an interesting question, what do you believe is your preferred budget 25 key? M-audio Oxygen 25 (New name oxy 8) Akai MPK, or any other alternative? What do you believe is the best on the market right now? | |

I've been looking into the M-Audio Axiom as a replacement as I don't feel too confident laying live w. something that could drop a cue point(i use the pads for cues 1-8) during a mix. can anyone tell me how the pads are and if there are any known issue's with them, i.e. turning themselves on. |

| Karry Sappington 02.04.2011 | take a look at mpk25 |
| Kori Shatz 31.03.2011 | if you don't need knobs and pads, Q25 is the best, aftertouch and real midi port. |

| Kiyoko Wellisch 31.03.2011 | Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Pissed me off with my lpd8 and it will again when I find another use for it. |
| Ned Somerset 31.03.2011 | Another downfall of the MPK mini is the knob size. Although i know there is a thread somewhere here about replacing the knobs with a decent set. |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 31.03.2011 | While the MPK mini is a wonderful piece of kit you gotta remember that it does have half throw keys and as a result isn't really suited for real playing. But if you just want a midi controller and are going to use it for a bit of production it's completely fine. |
| Brock Ricapito 31.03.2011 | 100% the MPK mini. |
| Ned Somerset 31.03.2011 | MPK mini. Bought one about a month ago and don't have a single regret. |
| Tatum Ansaldo 14.03.2011 | There's also the Alesis Q25 which is cheap and small but has full size keys rather than mini ones. |
| Melinda Shick 13.03.2011 | Mpk mini for me, love it. |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 13.03.2011 | Very budget... |
| Bronwyn Tudon 13.03.2011 | either mpk 25 or axiom 25 from m-audio |
