Donner DMK25 Pro MIDI Keyboard Controller, 25 Mini Key Portable USB-C MIDI Keyboard with 8 Drum Pads, OLED Display, Personalized Touch Bar, Music Production Software and 40 Teaching Courses White

This MIDI keyboard is perfect for making music on the go! It’s compact but packed with features like 8 drum pads, arpeggio, and smart scales, making it super fun to use. The OLED display is a nice touch, and the keys feel great for a small controller. It connects easily with USB-C and works well with different DAWs. The included software and teaching courses are a great bonus. Perfect for beginners and pros alike!

1st off I'm not pro. I needed a small midi controller to start experimenting with music production for a YouTube channel. It has been very useful for this project.It does come with some lite versions of the Steinberg companies DAW and a couple other plug ins however the installation process is the most obnoxious process I've ever encountered installing any software in my 47 years of existence. You have to use the Steinberg download manager and license manager and it is an archaic system. You can literally download everything they sell( DAW, plugins, sample packs etc. it's like a half a TB of stuff, but you can only use a tiny fraction of it without the proper software license. The problem is you don't know what's free and what's not, so you end up having a bunch of crap you have to weed through to uninstall. It's a nightmare. Steinberg do better!As far as the keyboard itself. It's compact has a lot of functionality, any button or dial is programmable to what ever function inside your DAW. I've used it with Devin I Resolves Fairlight, and the Cubase LE14. While all the keyboard keys and drum pads are velocity sensitive the sensitivity curve seems off. It's seems you get good action and volume from a hard strike, but a slow strike is too quiet.It's a good starter midi keyboard and the software makes it a decent value, but I'll be looking for one with better action on the keys.

Overall, the keyboard looked and played GREAT. I was definitely really hard setting it up with my Windows 10. The software was just too hard to figure out. I eventually ended up connecting it to an apple phone and played it on Garage Band. Donner did a pretty good job! Would definitely recommend playing with an apple device though.

Love the keyboard. I'm just not getting into making music so it's the perfect easy to use keyboard but still has access to change more advanced settings. Good size for me to do basic cords. Sensitivity on the pads I feel like could be better but I have them set to Full and that helped. 10/10 would recommend! Very easy to take on the go.

absolute garbage. Spend 8 hours trying to figure it out . software indicated on manual not available on company website. spent $100 on 3rd party app in an a tempt to make it work with no avail. no tech support a garbage made for money at best.

ON TIME ,JUST AS ADVERTIZED

Great value overall, functionality was pristine, great design and all the pads work and feel great. Bought for a friend who was looking to connect with his son on a deeper level. So far it’s been a god send!

I got it for 2 purposes one is to use it with my other daws which it can do semi fine but I can't use all the programmable nobs in the others. The daw code I got did not work, and I contacted customer support with a gramatically correct email and their advice was to more or less "try again" in a non gramtical way.
