Digital camera reviews of Creative Prodikeys Pc-midi
Digital camera Review: Perfect for your needs.
Summary: 4 Stars
A computer and a musical keyboard in one piece?! Neat.
When I touched the keyboard I had a deception, the keys are very cheap, fragile and light, Ok for 49usd I could not expect any pro keys right ? Right.
So if you are looking a musical keyboard to spend most of your time and execute masterpieces that is not for you.
But if you are looking for a space saver musical MIDI keyboard that is very easy to configure and work good, you found it.
Besides the the cheap touch of the keys, it works very well, all my midi soft synths worked with it, no problem at all.
So it accomplished the mission!
Digital camera Review: Prodikeys are..... special =)
Summary: 4 Stars
The product works fine , The sound delay between actually pressing the keys and what actually plays is a bit off, but you get use to it quickly. The Keys are also not full length keys and have a plastic feel to them , so it feels a bit like a toy at first as well. But overall It is a pretty fun keyboard, I am glad I bought it.
On the flip side of this
THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!
The Music portion of the Prodikeys is NOT supported with VISTA. I searched for hours upon hours to find a way to make it work with my vista computer and I never succeeded. So if you are not running a computer with XP(or an earlier OS) or have a computer with XP this product isn't good for you.
Digital camera Review: Rarity these days
Summary: 5 Stars
Keyboard is excellent quality, and the piano keys are good too. I use this to control my Guitar Rig 3 setup. I just use sticky labels and put them on the keys and change them at will. I have never really played them as they were intended.Digital camera Review: Type or compose on same keyboard
Summary: 5 Stars
Works great with Finale. Plug and play first time. No setup other than install the CD. Makes keyboard entry a breeze. It has its own program, but I prefer Finale or Sibelius for composition.Digital camera Review: Works great, but there's a big but...
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this as a space saver. Little did I know it would become a time waster.
This keyboard is not supported by Windows XP 64 bit or Vista 64 bit!
(There are new drivers which allow you to run this on Vista 32 bit)
So after spending days online trying to find 64 bit drivers I surrender. Either I can have a dual boot computer and run my music programs on both operating systems or give the PC Midi away and get a new midi controller...btw, Creative is not going to upgrade the drivers for this product. Their customer service is not helpful at all.
