Midi Controller, lotmusic Worlde TUNA PANDA MINI 25 Keys Portable USB Midi Keyboard with 8 RGB Backlit Colorful Drum Beat

The world tuna midi controller - The world tuna midi controller is one of the few midi controllers that I own . It has 25 keys , 8 drum pads, octave change buttons and 8 levers and control nobs that act as different functions depending on what daw you are working with and how you have them programmed. It is a satin white color with brown sides and black buttons, which I find particularly nice to look at . Anyone who doesn't have a mini midi controller is definitely missing out and at this price point the world tuna mini is definitely a good buy . The tuna mini loaded up easily in my daw which is " reaper and ableton live". The keys react well to the touch and are touch sensitive which comes in handy especially for drum sounds. This is a great control for people who record on the go , and for home studios. I have a few controllers so this became my packed up and ready for the rd controller , that way I am not plugging and unplugging I constantly from my studio . It is a perfect 2ndary controller for me , it would be my main controller if I didn't already have a few others. These controllers are amazing for recording music. Depending on your daw and software you can turn this thing into everything from a piano , to a drum set, to a saxophone , and everything in between . I went a long time with only a guitar in my studio , and everything was done via "midi". Is this the best midi controller ...? No ... is it the best at its price point ? Absolutely. Musicians on a budget , people getting into recording music , kids, adults and everything in between will enjoy the Tuna mini. I have been playing music for 30 years and have had every instrument you can imagine and I am very glad to have the Tuna Midi Mini.

I am not sure I understand some of the negative reviews, as this is an absolutely awesome product, and a steal for the price point.. I have been using the Korg Midi Controller (NANOKEY-ST) devices, that are also very nice, but really wanted the sliders… it’s ability to ‘on the fly’ switch midi In/out channels, is amazing, and simple just using the keypad! I can start with midi channel one, and switch to any of the 16 available midi channels, with no effort, (I have not seen this on any other offering) .. the sliders are smooth and easily accessible, the drum pads are programmable, my only wishlist for this device would be a touchpad like the Korg, and Bluetooth.. people! This thing is under 80 bucks! I am tempted to buy another just to control my hardware synthesizers! The downloadable software is just fine, simple and to the point, so you don’t really need to rely on doing ‘midi learn’ to program presets…

Easy to use! Cool design, very nice!

Cheaply made but perfect for starting out or to take on gigs because it's light weight and cheap. Configuration was easy but every time I opened my DAW I needed to reconfigure the controller. Smooth easy to use and I love the velocity sensitive keys and pads

I bought this as a second device because there are multiple users in my household and the AKAI unit that we own is sometimes occupied. This is just as good as the AKAI, at least for everything I need to do with a portable MIDI controller. If anything, the drum pads are more responsive. I can't speak to reliability yet, but so far it has been fine.

a lot of emails and downloads to try and get sound from it.

I cant download i used many computer stiil can't download

It does the bare minimum at being a midi controller, you can get around with it but other options have better ableton integration.

I bought it to work on garage band but its not compatible i tried to make contact with service people but there was no help from other side . I was told to attach the cable properly i dont know how to plug a cable . TotL garbage for me no use . Its just sitting in the corner now .
