Alesis ワイヤレスUSB/MIDI ショルダーキーボード・コントローラー 加速度センサー搭載 Vortex Wireless 2 ブラック

とても良かった

値段も安く、ワイヤレスのショルダーキーボードだったので購入しました。 軽音部でキーボードを担当していますが、 このショルダーキーボードを使うようになってから、自分もライブで動き回ることができるようになり、とても楽しいです。 見た目もカッコ良くて満足しています！

付属の音源ソフトのセットアップがとにかく難しく、まる１日頑張りましたが玉砕しました（泣） タブレットにシンセサイザーアプリを突っ込んでmidi接続する方法が比較的簡単だったので、『セットアップで詰んだ！！』という方がいれば、１度この方法を試してみてはいかがでしょうか。 （アプリによっては使える機能が一部制限されるかもですが、とりあえず音は出るようになるかと・・・） ちなみに、タブレットとmidi接続をする場合には『変換アダプター』が別途必要です（・ω・）ノ 音はタブレットから出るので、スピーカーは必須ではないですが・・・できれば欲しいところですね（￣Д￣）

初心者は買わない方がいい。セットアップに苦戦する。おそらくこのメーカーを知らないで買う人たちはガッカリすると思う。

期待できるショルダーキーボードがようやく登場しましたね。 音源非搭載ですが、本体軽量で、使い勝手は上々です。まだ音作りから始めていますが、気づけばすでに自宅でのほとんどの時間をこの楽器に触って過ごしてます。ライブでのパフォーマンスで使用するのが楽しみです。

It's a very capable MIDI controller with a lot of options. Some points: - By default the ribbon controller is "sticky" and controller value stays on, which is unlike most keytars that have it release to default value the moment you lift the finger. Some people have been unhappy about that. But it's not hardwired and can be easily changed with its software, so when you set it to pitch bend and return on release for guitar-like pulls it works just fine. - Same goes for pitch bend, volume control etc. that affect only "upper" MIDI channel, not "lower" one (keyboard can play 2 channels set in software). It's all configurable via software (you need to plug USB by cable to use software). You can configure default "upper" or "lower" zones, split, and what channel all controls affect individually, so set it any way you like. Split is not very usable for me, but good to have. - Freshly charged AA NiMh rechargeables are enough for 4 to 6 hours of power on state. There is no indication of battery level, it just starts to flicker and reset when batteries are low. That's not good. But generally you should insert fresh batteries before a performance or a rehearsal, and that should guarantee you won't run out of juice at the worst moment. That's the only real "con" I have. It should have been trivial to make screen or any of LEDs blink or turn red when batteries were getting low, before the device goes offline or berserk (and when it does - you can have stuck MIDI notes etc. - disaster when playing live). So make sure to use fresh batteries when it's important. You can also power via USB but it's not gonna be wireless then, so not a good option on stage. - USB wireless receiver is NOT a transmitter! It only works one way, despite DAW recognizing MIDI out, nothing is sent, as long as I can see. No program change values can be sent to Vortex to switch programs for example. Not a big deal, and make sense technologically (same inexpensive 2.4mHz radio setup as mice etc.) but good to know. - USB can only work with a computer (laptop) to control VST instrument or a hardware synth connected to the same computer. You can also connect by MIDI cable directly to any hardware synth. As far as I could research, USB to MIDI boxes do not work with this dongle, it needs a computer to send MIDI. For me, using a laptop is a good trade-of for being truly wireless on stage. Also allows me to use VST instruments as well as hardware synths. Shreddage guitar sounds amazing with Vortex, but it needs to be set up properly to use most of its functionality. - Keyboard is very ligt and feels good, just as it should, I think. It has aftertouch, which is nice for an inexpensive controller - It fits well horizontally in the second tear of my keyboard stand. You can actually use it as a horizontal keyboard without much trouble, except for the awkward pitch bend position. That's nice. - LED colors for the pads are fully adjustable through software.

Nice Keytar

Any complaint I have about this device is with Korg, not the device itself. Be aware they have pretty much abandoned this product. That said, it's my favorite keyboard controller yet, among a dozen, or so? I prefer pad controllers and the pads on this one are not really for me, but the keys...and the rest...are EXCELLENT. Add-in that it's wireless and it becomes one of my favorite controllers used in life. The only complaint I might offer is more warning to you: give it a good line of sight between the dongle receiver and the instrument. If you start spinning around, you might lose the wonderful reactivity of the low latency MIDI. Wander too far, same thing, it'll glitch on you. Always keep that invisible tether in mind and it's a wonderful controller. My only regret is how rarely I need keys...my current favorite MIDI controller is a gamepad (via Max4Live device). Figure that one out. But when I do need a keyboard, click, there it is. I might also complain about KORG not simply designing a stand for it, but you can prop it in a good corner easily enough. The reality is that the keys size and feel make my fingers happy and that makes this thing fun to play. Wireless is the cherry on top. I am humored that Amazon wants me to address the sound quality. Um. It has no sound, Amazon. It's a controller. MINE sounds GREAT. :D They also suggest value for money...what I can say is I'll probably get near what I paid for it if I do sell it. No plans to currently.

My 3rd Alesis Vortex - had the original white non-wireless, the black Wireless-II which I gifted to my son, and now this one. Packed with features, great quality. Would happily have paid $1000 back in the day for a wireless keytar!

Personalmente ritengo la keytar un accessorio divertente per uscire di tanto in tanto da dietro le quinte. Questo oggetto ha veramente tanti controlli, sul manico ha una rotella (solo per pitch bend) ed un ribbon (programmabie, compresi 3 preset per pitch ed expression), oltre che a svariati tasti come sustain ed octave switch. Il feedback dei tasti mi piace molto, piu' di quanto mi aspettassi. Il keybed e' solido e non ho avvertito nessuno slittamento laterale. E' un controller MIDI puro, quindi non ha suoni, ma difficilmente ci si presenta in live armati solo di keytar, quindi si avra' sicuramente sempre a disposizione un PC o un'altra tastiera a cui agganciarsi. Per la nicchia in cui vivono le keytar, non vedo assolutamente alcun vantaggio in spendere mille euro per una Blade quando con 250 euro puoi ottenere gli stessi risultati. Il look sicuramente e' meno aggressivo, ma anche il peso e' decisamente piu' contenuto.
