Does it work well with reason?

[derracsdl]

Hopefully someone can reply and answer that for you. All I have ever used it with is Pro tools and Cubase. Sorry I couldn't help.

[YoungCash82]

dude the DigiPerf daw isn't Pro Tools. It's MOTU Digital Performer

[derracsdl]

Yeah your right man.  I was tired and up all night when I made that video. I realized later that I also said compression mic instead of condenser mic.

how are the velocity curves on that thing. true to yamaha quality or just another midi controller. expressiveness dynamics etc?

[derracsdl]

The velocity is awesome. You have fixed which can of course be set from standard (1-127) but you also have soft1, soft 2, normal, hard1 and hard 2. The velocity is in my opinion is so easy to get used to and it is very player friendly.

does the Yamaha KX61 work with Fl Studio?

[MergPictures]

I just bought the Yamaha KX61 what do I need to get it to run with reason 3.0? Because the factory Yamaha drivers are not working with reason! thanks :)

[MPrint666]

I was actually thinking of taking your advice and buying the yamaha, until you broke out the microkorg and said how awesome it was. That synth is probably the worst piece of equipment I've had ever. Keys are small and almost unusable, plus it just sounds plain awful. I've been needing a new controller for my Prophet 08 module and was looking at the Cme uf 50. I thought maybe the Yamaha was a cheaper alternative that would allow me more money to spend on analog effects. I'll do more research th

[MrJackanthony]

[reivax31]

I need help! I bought this keyboard but cant get it to work i run on a pc windows 7 using cubase sx5 plz reply me i dont know how to set it for cubase

[TechCrazy]

@sa1imtheking The best MIDI keyboard for reason is the Akai MPK series. I have one and its the best in terms of controls on the keyboard.

@ekonomisty Correct. They also make rack mounted synthesizers or sound modules which these controllers can be connected to as well. The cheapest option you have is to get a MIDI Controller, connect it to your PC, and have it control a virtual synthesizer. There are tons of free, legal, synths from which to chose.. as well as expensive commercial ones... all depending on how serious you get. Check kvraudio or one of the other online information sites if you need lots of help.

@narfy So if i want to have my keyboard to have own sounds should i buy a synthesizer or what?? Could you advise me an affordable keyboard with built in sounds? I'd really appreciate that. At the same time i want it to be as portable as possible.

@ekonomisty Don't know until you ask. But If you see "MIDI Controller" then it does not make its own sound.. it is used with an external (not included) sound source. You Control a synth or other sound source with a Controller. You can connect these to a PC with the USB connector on the back of the unit. You could also connect it via the MIDI connectors Remember to swap the connectors on the cable though if you go true MIDI cable (MIDI IN on keyboard goes to MIDI OUT on cable etc)
