This MIDI keyboard is nice to look at and play. I am setting up a home music studio I cannot wait to set the studio up properly. I like Donner products and service this keyboard only took overnight to get here, great service thanks Donner 10/10

My son likes it it’s a bit complicated at first and requires a monthly software download as well for an additional cost which we did not know when we bought it but overall he likes it a lot!

This keyboard is awesome. This is my first MIDI and is well worth the money. Great for beginners. My brother took one look at it and bought one for himself!
Stephania Bautista
Great deal, and perfect sized for beginner.

Great product! It is my first midi product, I use it with Logic Pro on my laptop. Easy to connect, easy to use. Came in pretty clean and works as they've marketed. The pitch and the modulator are touch-sensitive and work pretty well with the product.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE value for the money i spent! Donner has nothing but the best products at the greatest values! I can’t wait to pick up more of their music related offerings! BEST midi keyboard I’ve bought in a LONG TIME! Compact and very responsive!
Anthony
I went for this because the piano but the other features are so awesome to use when making beats, this is honestly the coolest thing ive ever used since i can sample beats now its even more fun to use
Susan
I've been searching for my first MIDI keyboard and I'm very happy with this one! Great size, light, thin but sturdy and happy with it being pressure/touch-sensitive. I currently use this with Reaper software which is plug-and-play compatible. The white goes well with my desk aesthetics.

Keys feel good got a couple donners. good brand
Still learning extra buttons
Nash
Nice product. A little advanced for my middle school son who is a beginner, so it will take some time to learn. But easy to set up and use. Very cool look and feel, and sound is good.

The size is perfect for my needs

This product is exactly what I need for recording music in my apartment. As soon as I unboxed it, I plugged it in and it connected immediately to GarageBand. I selected through various midi instruments and all of them felt intuitive playing through the keyboard. It is only a 25 key keyboard, but it is easy enough to adjust the octave using the controller on the board.
It looks great, and feels durable. Attached is me playing the key part of good vibrations.

This keyboard us really easy to use. It connects via USB type c and was instantly recognized by my Win10 PC. All they keys, most of the drum pads, and a few of the sliders were mapped out perfect right out of the box. Keyboard has nice size keys with a natural responsiveness. The layout makes for a comfortable playing experience.
Quinn Shepherd
I am using it with GarageBand on my iPad Pro in the video and it works perfectly. There’s no delay and the keys are very responsive. I think it also supports different pressure inputs. Overall it’s a great portable mini MIDI keyboard.
Justin
Keyboard was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a midi keyboard to mess around with quarantine and it has 25 keys and drum pads which I was looking for. The drum pads don’t sink in and are all touch based. It’s the perfect size to take on a trip and mess around with friends. Definitely something to mess around with and get yourself ready for bigger midi keyboards or players.

Very good delivery. I have another product that is almost the same as this but it is really bad. I am very disappointed and regret buying the product it. because I didn't read the reviews first.
finally I did not use other brand products, I then opened my amazon to buy new products that were better and amazing. finally I found this product before I bought this product, I read reviews from other buyers, I was surprised their reviews were very good and extraordinary.
then I bought this product and when it arrived at my home.
I immediately use it, this product is very good no one can match the quality of this product. I am very happy to get this product.
I highly recommend this product. If you don't buy this product, you will regret it. because you will not get the best quality besides this product
Jay
I bought the controller for use with Studio One. For my studio space, a two octave keyboard is perfect. That size is a bit limiting to play but the easy access to transpose and octave adjustments makes up for it.
As you might expect with the price, the build is not the absolute highest quality. For example the keys on the end are a bit misaligned.
Overall I'm very satisfied with this.
SageStone
I’ve been using this keyboard for a few months now, and it has been very helpful learn some tunes and play around with new instruments. I love being able to plug it into my MacBook and use it with GarageBand as a keyboard frequently, but it’s also awesome that it has pads for drums. It’s also a lot easier to take my MacBook and this keyboard on the go compared to my full-size keyboard
Addison Sawyer
I love this keyboard! It has so many programmable features! Great for beginners or advanced musicians and songwriters!
The drum pads work fantastic! It uses usb C so that has a wide range of compatibility! It includes a cable to connect to regular usb if you don’t have one.
The modulation and pitch bend sliders are excellent because they are extremely responsive and light up when you use them.
The keyboard itself is super thin and portable. Easy to put anywhere or transport if you want to make music on the go.
Overall, I would highly recommend this to beginners or advanced musicians alike.

I've spent the weekend with this MIDI controller and I have to say, man, it's incredible. It's easy to use, program and best of all, it's virtually plug and play. I'm very much a newbie with midi controllers, so the fact that I was able to plug this in and go right at it in Garageband was a huge win. I mean, who doesn't want to just hit the ground running and use something when you get it?
The size of the controller is fantastic too. It fits perfectly on my desk drawer (see photo). I can keep it right there for easy access. No need to have a full keyboard to do what I'm wanting to do, so this is perfect!
Donner hit it out of the park on this MIDI controller. Don't hesitate to give it a try. You won't be disappointed.
Jason
I needed a Midi for drum tracks and this will do that plus more as I grow into other software. I cannot find anything lacking on this unit. There is USB and jack for foot sustainer. Choice in keys or pads all are touch sensative. You may opt for a longer USB cord if needed like I prob will but it enough to start you off. I love the size and how many options have been put into this. Nothing feels cheep and i plan to write a #1 hit single on this. There are how to set up and use this unit from Donner.

My13 yo son begged me for this for his birthday. For others out there who are not mixing professionals just know you do have to download software and this is not like a synthesizer, you have to plug the keyboard into a computer to play it. My son knew this but I didn't, so after some time we got it up and rolling and it is the coolest thing, it can do every instrument and play and records different beats on top of each other. My son says this is better than his friend who had an Akai and when I compared them the Donner was $20 cheaper. So, overall this will be a great way for my son to start making his own music. I do suggest trying at least 3 different of the free software-making programs just to see which one is easiest for you.

I bought the MIDI keyboard on reviews mentioning it is a great beginner MIDI keyboard, and I can attest to that. The keyboard is compact in size and lightweight, yet feels durable in material and of the keys and pads. I can easily bring this from my apartment to my classes and other places like the library in my backpack easily due to how light it is. The MIDI Keyboard is easily recognized by FL Studio and other DAWs, and even by programs such as Melodics. This is amazing in that regard because I was able to test out its capability with those different programs and now I have the option for different programs to create music and effects. The keys and pads are easily programmable as well as responsive to the touch. I'm currently enjoying learning music as a hobby drumming with the finger MIDI pads and actually signed up for digital music coming fall and can not wait to use it more. I have some experience in piano and it is not needed to use this. It is so far easy to learn and try and very user friendly. I think there is much value in this MIDI keyboard and it gets the job done with a variety of keys and buttons that are each easily programmable and very responsive in any program you throw at it
Jake
The size is perfect for my needs! It's compact and lightweight without feeling flimsy and I'm easily able to fit it on my desk in front of my laptop without having to rearrange anything.

I bought this for two reasons: as a portable controller for beat making, and as a nice little keyboard for my 4 year old to mess around with so he doesn't break my fancier ones! I'm very happy on both fronts. This Donner is portable enough to take on an airplane, and intuitive enough that my kid loves using it (as you can see in the video). The small keys took me a while to get used to, but after 10 mins or so it wasn't an issue. Also, the record and pause buttons don't seem to register with Logic Pro, but all the pads and keys work well. The velocity sensitivity on the keys is actually a bit better than what I expected (definitely better than the other cheap controller I replaced with this one). All in all, this is a terrific purchase for the price. I'm yet to be disappointed by a Donner product.

I used to play a keyboard, several years back, but got rid of it. I have been thinking about getting another one and found the Donner DMK 25 MIDI keyboard. This one is quite different that what I am used to playing. In order to play this keyboard, you have to install one choice of several music software programs (DAW) before playing. I decided to download GarageBand. The keyboard also needs to be connected to a computer or mobile device via a USB cord; the type C cord is included. I also plan on using my IPAD and mobile phone, eventually. This MIDI keyboard is compact with many features; more than you would expect a small keyboard to have.
It took me several hours to get the hang of using this keyboard, but once I got started, it seemed to be pretty easy. I tested out all the buttons, to make sure they worked. Of course, there is way more to learn because I just tried the basics and I will learn more as I go along. I guess, though, if I could figure out how to use this, then it probably would be perfect for a teenager, that likes to make his/her own music.
I am really glad that I purchased the Donner DMK 25 MIDI keyboard. It is lots of fun, once you get the hang of it, very de-stressing, perfect for the whole family, along with a very reasonable price.

Great present for my soon to be 13 year old son. An awesome distraction from Fortnite!

To begin, I am not a musician. That said I love how easy and fun this little guy can be. I've spent hours putting beats and chords together sometimes not even really knowing what I'm doing. Wen i finally found a good program to go with it, i spent even more time fiddling around and trying to figure out new sounds.
R. Whiteside
I've never owned a MIDI controller/keyboard, and I'll admit when I first plugged it in to Garageband, I was very confused. A little playing around and in about 15 minutes, I was up and running. It is a blast. I had a full size keyboard that I was using previously, and this little guy saves so much space, but gives me the same sound and much more accessibility with controls. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for an extra tool in their home recording studio, or someone just looking to have some fun with a MIDI keyboard!
I was a little leary on getting the white at first, but as you can see in the pictures, it actually looks great!

I needed something to help with my compose something by 40 new years resolution. Donner has truly impressed me with their guitar products and their midi controller follows in the same way. The keyboard looks cool. It feels well built but it's light. I'm uaing the keyboard to control virtual instruments in cakewalk by bandlab. The set up and configuration was pretty smooth. I can control volume, record playback, and modulate tones all from the keyboard. The pads and keys are all velocity sensitive (harder you hit, louder you play). If you are new to midi, DAWs, and digital music, expect it to take a couple hours to figure out what you are doing. It's not so much that it's hard as it is just something new to learn. And in this case you are learning a midi control surface, midi pads, a keyboard and a DAW. A couple hours is probably rushed to be honest. When I get my compose something by 40, I may see if there is a way to upload that.
