M-Audio Oxigen Pro is its closest competitor.Īrturia Keylab 49 Essential Controller Keyboard One octave less than the Arturia Keylab 61 MKII, it offers almost the same amount of features. It’s a very complete midi controller under the $500 range.Ĭompared to the competition: The AKAI MPK249 comes with a very nice software bundle (MPC Essentials, Hybrid 3, Twist, and Ableton Live Lite). It features 14 pads, 8 Q-link controllers, 8 knobs, and 8 faders, plus the pitch bend and modulation wheels. The semi-weighted keyboard allows you to play it as an acoustic piano, and is also very comfortable to play synth leads. Why I recommend it: AKAI is a very important brand in the music industry, and the MPK249 is one of the most successful products they are ever launched. The nearest competitor I can match this model to is Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S61 and S49, which have an unbeatable advantage of including Komplete 13 Select.ĪKAI Professional MPK249 – USB MIDI Keyboard Controller with 49 Semi-Weighted Keys It features a great after-touch sensitivity, 16 pads, 9 faders, 9 rotary encoders, in addition to multiple expression control inputs.Ĭompared to the competition: This extraordinary model comes with a great bundle (Arturia Analog Lab, the lite version of Ableton, Piano V2 plugin, and the famed Arturia MIDI Control Center). Not only you can control the settings and parameters of a virtual synth or drum machine, but also the faders and routing buttons on your DAW with just a simple click. Why I recommend it: This 61 keys midi controller has the greatest range of functions you can get in the market under the $600 range.
