Joining the ongoing giant price drop on Roland’s Alexa digital Go:Piano, we have now spotted a number of notable deals on MIDI keyboard controllers for home music producers. The most affordable of the bunch is the Alesis Qmini Portable 32 Key USB MIDI Keyboard Controller at $39 shipped. Regularly $59, this is a 34% price drop, the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon all year, and matching the all-time low. Delivering a compact controller experience that works alongside just about any major DAW or recording app out there, this is a particularly affordable way to add some musical input to a Mac, iPad (adapter required), or Windows rig. The 32 velocity-sensitive keys are joined by octave transposition controls as well as pitch bend and modulation buttons alongside a suite of bonus goodies: AKAI Professional MPC Beats and seven included expansion packs.
