Does absolutely everything I need it to do. Perfect for portability. The only addition I would make is available standard midi sockets

Great value, fast delivery.

I've been nurturing a composing hobby and using this keyboard is a very compact and efficient way to play around with sounds. It's extremely light but features dense--the drum pads are pressure sensitive and the modulation and pitch controls are very responsive. It also fires up and installs itself when I first plug it into my computer and is recognized by all my music apps. Great product!

It was very easy to get started, you just plug it right into the garage band and you can make so many different sounds with it.
Gloria C.
I used it for a couple of my DAW‘s and it seems to work pretty well. It reacts to different software differently. It works well with Ableton and likely works well with other DAWs as well.

I love the quality. Donner is always amazing. I’ve got multiple things from them and I am always pleased. I’m looking forward to using more Donner items in the future. This would be great as a gift to someone in your family just starting out. Great durability and great price!

Nice product. A little advanced for my middle school son who is a beginner, so it will take some time to learn. But easy to set up and use. Very cool look and feel, and the sound are good.

Light and portable midi keyboard! I really like the transpose and octave features. It also has a pitch slide with which you can do some fun things. I am new to the tech side of music and this keyboard plugs into garage band super easily. Literally, you just plug it into your computer and choose midi in a garage band!
The built-in drum pad is a cool feature as well, but you can also switch to a drum kit in your program and all the keys have different sounds as well.
A recommended buy if you are looking to get into arranging or composing!

I’ve had a lot of playing with this in GarageBand. The pads and all keys are pressure sensitive with a good range. The sliders for controlling levels in your recording software is very handy to have. I’m looking forward to learning more about the programming features.

This is my first MIDI Keyboard.
I purchased it to add to our family studio. The kids love it! It is perfect for traditional keyboard use or allows user to make drum beats with drum pads! Sliders can adjust : pitch, modulation and octave.
It works seemingly with many music production apps/websites.
The size is perfect and it is packed with features:
You have access to many different instruments settings.

Bought it for my daughter as she has taken an interest in both music and computers.
Plugged straight into my Mac and instantly seen and usable via the inbuilt apps. Since then we have found free apps for both Mac and PC.
Easy to use and very good quality.
Value for money compared to others I saw

This midi controller is super light, thin, and responsive. The sensitivity on both keys, touch for articulation/volume, and pads are great. I’m not sure if it is important but I love the color of the product too. I’m very new to midis so I am not too sure about how to assign pads to a specific note but when you first select a software instrument, it automatically assigns a few keynotes to the pad which is very useful for me. I would highly recommend this product

This MIDI keyboard is just what I wanted, seriously. A lightweight high quality built midi keyboard is what I was looking for under a budget. This product definitely satisfied my needs, also to mention the cable that it brings is top quality compared to my old midi keyboard. Love the knobs and pads they’re great. Cooking up beats with this keyboard all day!

I've spent the weekend with this MIDI controller and I have to say, man, it's incredible. It's easy to use, program and best of all, it's virtually plug and play. I'm very much a newbie with midi controllers, so the fact that I was able to plug this in and go right at it in Garageband was a huge win. I mean, who doesn't want to just hit the ground running and use something when you get it?
The size of the controller is fantastic too. It fits perfectly on my desk drawer (see photo). I can keep it right there for easy access. No need to have a full keyboard to do what I'm wanting to do, so this is perfect!
Donner hit it out of the park on this MIDI controller. Don't hesitate to give it a try. You won't be disappointed.
Addison
I love this keyboard! It has so many programmable features! Great for beginners or advanced musicians and songwriters!
The drum pads work fantastic! It uses usb C so that has a wide range of compatibility! It includes a cable to connect to regular usb if you don’t have one.
The modulation and pitch bend sliders are excellent because they are extremely responsive and light up when you use them.
The keyboard itself is super thin and portable. Easy to put anywhere or transport if you want to make music on the go.
Overall, I would highly recommend this to beginners or advanced musicians alike.

Something I picked for new hobby and also for my son who is into music. So far great find for beginners/novice like us. Love the portability of this controller which allows us to practice before going to bed. I used it with an iPad Pro. Considering the price I paid for the keys, knobs, pads and faders are great and feel good. It is also great to know that I could edit the functions through the controller itself and not needing extra software, just need to go through it in the manual. I am also surprised on the responsiveness and sensitivity of the keys, pads, etc on this controller.
Again, amazing budget-friendly controller!
Justin
Keyboard was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a midi keyboard to mess around with quarantine and it has 25 keys and drum pads which I was looking for. The drum pads don’t sink in and are all touch based. It’s the perfect size to take on a trip and mess around with friends. Definitely something to mess around with and get yourself ready for bigger midi keyboards or players.
Ami
the rapid response time is insane on this midi controller. i found that its faster than my other much more expensive midis and im so happy about that! great controls, super easy to use, i am more advanced and getting more comfortable with it. loving the style and structure. great bang for your buck, will surely be checking this company for more products
Flaw28
I’m in love with this midi controller. It looks great, feels solid, and performs the way I need it to. When I plugged it in I started making music and having a good time right away. I recommend this!
Matthew
During these Covid 19 times, I wanted to learn something new and have fun, and this is where the keyboard idea came from. I've been using it for the past couple of days and I am truly impressed on how easy it is for beginners like myself to learn how everything works. The keyboard is very portable and doesn't not take a lot of space up on my desk. I see myself trying more and more to see how it works and have more fun with it.

I bought the MIDI keyboard on reviews mentioning it is a great beginner MIDI keyboard, and I can attest to that. The keyboard is compact in size and lightweight, yet feels durable in material and of the keys and pads. I can easily bring this from my apartment to my classes and other places like the library in my backpack easily due to how light it is. The MIDI Keyboard is easily recognized by FL Studio and other DAWs, and even by programs such as Melodics. This is amazing in that regard because I was able to test out its capability with those different programs and now I have the option for different programs to create music and effects. The keys and pads are easily programmable as well as responsive to the touch. I'm currently enjoying learning music as a hobby drumming with the finger MIDI pads and actually signed up for digital music coming fall and can not wait to use it more. I have some experience in piano and it is not needed to use this. It is so far easy to learn and try and very user friendly. I think there is much value in this MIDI keyboard and it gets the job done with a variety of keys and buttons that are each easily programmable and very responsive in any program you throw at it

This is my first MIDI controller. I'm new to the whole MIDI world. I plugged the unit in and I had no idea what I was doing. I literally had no knowledge on how to operate one of these things. I took me a few days to figure it out. And now I'm in love :)
AJ
I bought this for my son so this is his review. As a first time user, it was difficult to map, I appreciate it's not to do with the hardware itself but more basic instructions for a novice would be a great help. The buttons, keys and knobs are sturdy and appear well constructed. Enjoying getting to understand it and learning how to use it. Just hope I'm good enough to audition with The Chemical Brothers next week.
My son has sent a few video clips of his creations with it, think he can cancel the audition.
Mark Cowan
Keyboard was easy to set up and use, makes it easy for beginners! Great little kit that does the job!
Dante B.
Great product. Way more than I expected for what I paid. Not to mention they used the best delivery method possible. I'll be shopping here in the future.
J
This is pretty good. I was impressed by the quality feel of this. It's a lightweight keyboard that is easy to carry. It's a bit complicated if you are new to this but there is a really helpful video on YouTube that has been made by the company. It shows how to link with most music production software. It works well with FL studio.
The colours are bright so can be used in dark areas. One downside is that I think it would have been nice if it had come in a padded carry bag or something. As it is for portability it would need to be put in the original box.
John
This Donner midi controller is pretty slick. Complete piece of cake to get paired to my antique laptop. I downloaded cakewalk to use for my DAW, and after making a couple simple adjustments, I was able to control the digital instruments via the DMK25.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not a composer by any means. I genuinely thought I could get this, set up s few drum loops and have something to play my guitar with in a few hours, but that's not the case. Due to my lack of experience, I spent the better part of a week trying to figure the DAW out, even though the Spaceline worked perfectly the whole time. I highly believe that someone with some more experience with this digital stuff would figure it out super quickly.
Value for the money is excellent. There is another company that produces a VERY similar product, almost down to the key and pad layout, but this guy costs significantly less. That's a no brainer.
The size is about the same as a15" laptop. It's not too bulky and would fit fine in a laptop bag.
I'm beginning to figure this thing out, and it's found itself a permanent home in my growing wanna be home studio!
Justin
First of all, I am an absolute beginner in recording and wanted to record some backing tracks for guitar.
This is a basic midi keyboard that can do that for me. I use SampleTrack and this midi keyboard worked right away without any software/driver issues. Great!
Here are some things that I liked about this keyboard:
+ Plug and play (no driver issues) with Windows 10 and SampleTrack 4
+ USB C connectivity
+ Dynamic reaction of pads and keys
+ Solidly build
Matt
This keyboard is absolutely amazing I’ve been looking for one to do exactly this purpose for a long time, and you really can’t beat this price. It’s sturdy and it’s style is incomparable to anything else out there. This simply was the best pie and it comes with an easy to set up and use manual. It connects to my PC with ease and is very fast and easy to control. I love how I can manipulate every sound to be very exact. Definitely a goodbye I definitely suggest anyone looking for this item

This midi controller is super light, thin and responsive. The sensitivity on both keys, touch for articulation/volume and pads are great. I’m not sure if it is important but I love the colour of the product too. I’m very new to midis so I am not too sure about how to assign pads to a specific note but when you first select a software instrument, it automatically assigns a few key notes on to the pad which is very useful for me.

I absolutely love this little keyboard! It was quick to get set up controlling parameters on Logic Pro X and the beat pads are very responsive
By far my favorite feature is the touch sensetive pitch and modulation bars. By reacting to touch (as opposed to using a wheel) you can tap section of it to immediately change the sound as oppose to sliding the wheel to the right position. This means you can actually use the pitch wheel to tap in melodies
The transpose button is also a very useful feature that I didn't have on my previous keyboard. I'm not a technically proficient keyboard player so the transpose buttons make it much easier for me to melodies in simpler keys
I was previously using a much bigger 49 key model with full size keys but I'm much prefering these small Microkorg sized ones. It also means its small and light enough to easily fit in my backpack for when i take my laptop to mix or record at a friends house
