I have been making my electronic music for about two years now. As a professional musician, I have used Alesis products before. The price seemed almost too good to be true… But lets get to it… Out of the box, this midi keyboard feels solid, all be it, light in weight. The construction seems of higher quality. The pads have a nice rubber coating, and don’t have the cheap feel of some other units in this price range. The keys (25 of them) have accelerometer ability, adding a nice aspect to creating music. A single USB chord serves as the power, and the data connection. The nobs are also of nice quality. Great construction, ease of use, seems like a pro midi controller. All in all the unit has some great features, and is surprising given its price. I would highly recommend for the DJ that’s just starting, right up to moderately experienced. It feels good, isn’t too large, and would be a fantastic addition to your home studio.

The Alesis V25 is a simple and quality built unit that integrated seamlessly into my system. The weighted keys provide excellent tactile feedback. For anyone looking for a sturdy compact midi controller with great features at a price that won?t break the bank the Alesis V25 is an outstanding value. USB Plug and play all the way!

I bought this controller to have a MIDI keyboard with full size piano keys that wouldn’t take over my desk with a bunch of features I don’t need – I just want to focus on tickling the digital ivories! Overall the V25 is only slightly larger than my computer keyboard and fits neatly in my setup. Very simple to get connected, just plug in the USB cable no drivers needed. The included copy of Ableton Live Lite is of course wonderful, and more than enough to get you started. The build quality of the V25 overall is very solid, my only extremely minor complaint would be the way the LED lighting pours out around the pitch and modulation wheels – I keep my room generally very dark making the light spilling out from this part of the keyboard more obvious, but not enough to hurt an otherwise perfect 5-star rating from me!
