I’m accidentally learning some chords just by going through my normal production workflow.īasically, if you’re sure you won’t want to try out some ragtime chops at some point in the future, get the smaller one. I prefer the smaller footprint for making beats, but the A-series keyboards come with a light-up chord indicator that’s made me rethink how I approach finding melodies.

It’s worth keeping in mind that the biggest difference between the models, the number of keys, doesn’t affect the number of sounds you can use or how many functions the MIDI-controller can control.

If you do play piano, or you’re planning to learn in the long run, the A61 or A49 may suit your needs better than the limited immediately-available range of the A25. The 25 indicates the number of keys the device has, where the other models are the 49 and 61. I got my mitts on the littlest one, the A25. With the A-series you get the tactile feel of a semi-weighted set of keys combined with more than a dozen sound-shaping tools (in the form of programmable knobs and dedicated buttons) you can manipulate by hand.
