25 keys too small

Post by struffstuff » Mon Feb 19, 2018 11:39 pm

I'm using an Axiom 25 as an input device and have discovered that the keyboard isn't big enough to cover the pitch spread on some of the two handed lessons. Any suggestions besides getting a larger keyboard?

Personally, I think a 61 key keyboard is optimal for all the lessons and songs, they are a bit larger, obviously, but a nice 61 Key controller will still be very nice and still be reasonably compact. But then I practice on an 88 key digital piano - anything smaller seems compact. :D

But seriously, I don't think you'll regret going with 61 keys. I know you didn't want specifically - more keys but 25 really will not cover the range needed. I don't know away around needed that one extra octave (or two) so you might be able to use a 49 key setup. Unless you want to use 2 25 key controllers...?
