Donner N-25 Mini MIDI Keyboard 25 Key MIDI Controller [ Ссылка ]

Donner N-25 is literally THE CHEAPEST MIDI controller on Amazon. At $39.99, there's no other brand that offers anything at this price range. Despite the low price point, this keyboard still offers all of the essential functions for you to produce your beats on-the-go. Surprisingly, the keys not only feel and play good, it also has a lot of good actions! It's also velocity sensitive so you are not compromising anything! Personally, I found it easier to play on the Donner's keys than the keys on the famous AKAI MPK Mini MKII.

Now when it comes to portability, Donner N-25 may not be as thin as the Korg nanoKEY, but the sacrifice is while worth it in my opinion because the button style "keys" on the nanoKEY are very hard to play. For me at least.

If you're looking for a budget, on-the-go MIDI controller that you can just throw in your bag and go, this is definitely your go to.

Donner also offers the following options:
• Donner N-32 Mini MIDI Keyboard 32 Key MIDI Controller with Screen and Sequencer [ Ссылка ]
• Donner N-49 Mini MIDI Keyboard 49 Key Full-Size MIDI Controller [ Ссылка ]

Other well known budget MIDI controllers:
• AKAI Professional LPK25 [ Ссылка ]
• Korg nanoKEY2 [ Ссылка ]

======================================
DOES THIS KEYBOARD PLAY ANY SOUND ON ITS OWN? CAN I PLUG IT INTO A SPEAKER?
======================================
No and no. This is a MIDI keyboard. Generally speaking, MIDI keyboards do not have any capability to produce sound on its own because it's sole purpose is to play virtual instruments. With that said, a MIDI keyboard must be plugged it into a computer and run a software for it to make sound. Most commonly you'd use a MIDI keyboard with a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software like GarageBand, Logic Pro X, Pro Tool, Cubase or Ableton Live, etc.

======================================
I WANT TO LEARN PIANO, CAN I LEARN ON THIS KEYBOARD?
======================================
Can you cut a piece of 2x4 with a boxcutter? You probably can but it'll be a pain in the arse right? Same thing here. If your goal is to play the piano, you want to look for a "digital piano" or "electric keyboard" instead of a MIDI keyboard.

======================================
DIGITAL PIANO vs. ELECTRIC KEYBOARD vs. MIDI KEYBOARD WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?!
======================================
Digital piano and electric keyboard are the same thing, just different names. MIDI Keyboard on the other hand, is more of an interface than a piano. As mentioned in the previous question, MIDI keyboard does NOT play sound on its own and requires a computer and software to work. A digital piano or electric keyboard often have onboard speakers and have direct audio output so it can be played through a speaker without the need of a computer or software.

======================================
IF I WANT TO PLAY A PIANO AND RECORD ON A COMPUTER, WILL I NEED BOTH?
======================================
This is the neat part, you don't. So long you buy a MIDI compatible digital piano. Yes, most digital pianos are MIDI compatible either via a USB or a MIDI port. However, the reverse isn't true. A MIDI keyboard CANNOT be a digital piano but a digital piano CAN be a MIDI keyboard. So if your goal is to play the piano and you also want to use it as a MIDI keyboard to play virtual instruments on your GarageBand, just look for a MIDI compatible digital keyboard. Generally speaking, if the digital piano has a USB or MIDI port, it should be MIDI compatible.
