Smart Digital Piano Keyboard with Lighted Keys (Expandable to 88-Key), MIDI Controller Chord Pad Portable Electronic Learning Keyboard for Performance & Composition, 256 Tones, 100+ Chords

The media could not be loaded. Many of the reviews that complain of issues are people not understanding how to use the keyboard. I can see why it would be confusing so hopefully I can help those who use music apps or who are new. The charging lights can be turned off. Watch the video to figure out how! Please note that I am not using their app so this review doesn’t cover it.Pros:The thing I was most concerned about was that I had to use their app. I’ve never once installed it and have full control of the keyboard through GarageBand. I split the screen to read music in a different window. It also can be used with ForScore for basic practice but doesn’t sound as nice. I can’t wait to use it with Ableton. I haven’t tried it yet but my guess is that it will work wonderfully.The keys feel somewhat small but perfect for on the go. They feel about the same quality as a Yamaha keyboard. Doesn’t feel weighted but will do the job for its size.It comes with USB to USB-C AND a USB-C to USB-C cord. I thought it was just the one in my video that I recorded but found the other in the box that the speaker came in.Cons:The speaker has to be used to use the sustain pedal. I’m hoping to find a way to use another Bluetooth pedal within the apps but haven’t found a solution yet.The speaker is pretty quiet. It doesn’t seem very loud so if someone was going to use it as their main sound, it might be too quiet.Bluetooth isn’t an option for a normal person. Please plan to have a wired set of headphones if you want to use headphones with this. Take note that Bluetooth has a delay for any audio signal so this is not the fault of the piano!

The PopuPiano Smart Piano Keyboard is a really great choice! In particular, it is attractive that it is packed with many beginner-friendly features and allows you to enjoy learning music while progressing.The rainbow light keys visually support your playing, so even beginners can immediately see where to press and practice smoothly. In addition, it is great that it has 256 types of tones and over 100 types of chords built in. This allows you to play various musical styles and genres and practice without getting bored!It can also be used as a MIDI controller, so it can be used for music production and recording, and it is also attractive that it will expand the range of music in the future. The sustain pedal jack can be used to add depth to your performance, which enhances your expressiveness as a performer.It is also convenient that it has an audio input, and being able to connect to external devices and play together is a big plus for enjoying more diverse musical activities. Overall, I think it is a very well-balanced piano keyboard that is excellent in both technical and entertainment aspects!

I was enjoying this device until nothing about it worked,I know the following.The speaker must be connected to the main piano to work, and select instrument change options., but can also be without it sporadically.( the drum segment is not working and the sound comes thru the app as a clunk) The blue tooth connection which is essential.works well..The color changing buttons on the left do work but not clearly.The speaker doesn't work well but works and I will need some time to figure it out. The main piano bed must be charged by the large cord but doesn't seem to be able to be timed.The speaker does charge and present a red dot if not complete and the white front dots when charged.It needs charging frequently and doesn't hold a charge long.i want to compare it to the other set I ordered, but it is a magic mystery tour that draws you in color and theme wise.The iPad works well with it, and keyboard does not thoroughly lite unless the speaker is plugged in on certain parts of the app. The chord Midi works poorly and does not connect to what the app is telling you to do.I will continue thru as much of the app as I can but I could not complete the instruction course due to the chord pad calling for drumming and then the Happy Birthday song being played in the wrong order of the teaching sequence.,so the app would not allow me to go further. update.....I could only dispose of this app and hope the parts I purchased work along with my knowledge.The app prevented the speaker from working and was nothing useable and a large site selling more instruments.i will try to salvage learning from not using apps but putting my abilities to good use with a product I thought would be beneficial..:(.update..I connected the 3.5 audio cable from my iPad to the speaker and now the volume is completely able to be used according to what you are playing....amazing outcome after a vision quest of exploration.....

Don't buy this unless you want to wait weeks to use it. First of all, their Bluetooth connecting to their app sucks and it dosent connect to it even though I can see it as one of the things I can connect to in my bluetooth settings. If you try using the computer app, you will need a serial number that is in the email recipt that they never send until you go through customer service waiting for one reply every 3 days. If you want to use USB option, it also dosent see it as a product that can connect to the app and just as some speaker. And the speaker it comes with is low quality plus the sustain pedal dosent work properly and you have to press the pedal down to stop the sustain. And the second piece you get can't go along with the little left key pad and you have to use one or the other. If you don't have the speaker, it is essentially a fidget toy that costs $300 plus an extra $170 for a low quality speaker you can get at 5 below and a pedal that dosent do its job. For that you can just buy an actual electronic piano for way cheaper that's way better.

I had really high hopes for this, but honestly, the app sucks. There is a massive delay from when you press the keys to when it registers on screen. It works much better as a super basic midi controller when using other apps like Simply Piano, but this app was awful. Honestly, just get a cheap midi controller and save the money.
