I was looking for a compact, two-octave bus-powered MIDI keyboard with velocity layers and DAW controls. This one ticks all the boxes for me and has impressive build quality, especially considering its price range.
Pros:
+ LX25+ perfectly integrates with all major DAWs, in my case it's Reaper. Now I can control the most important DAW options (play, record, switching tracks etc.) using LX25+ dedicated knobs, which makes arranging and mixing incredibly fast and intuitive. It also has a very good fader, so I can do volume automation with ease.
+ Build quality of LX25+ is awesome for this price range. All knobs and controls are quite sturdy.
+ Full-sized keyboard.
Cons
- Keys themselves could've been better quality, but it's not a big deal. Overall they are quite responsive and with velocity layers.
All in all, I think it's one of the best two-octave MIDI keyboards out there. It made my recording, arranging and mixing a lot easier and more fun.
