Behringer MOTÖR 61 61-Key USB/MIDI Master Controller Keyboard with Motorized Faders and Touch-Sensitive Pads

So far I really like it! I did notice some of the issues that people talked about. I found these issues to be fixed with firmware 1.091 which is not on the Behringer site. It works very well with Ableton.

As a Midi Controller this keyboard does the job just fine. I first ordered ten Akai Mini and was rather unpleasantly surprised what a cheaply made thing that was. It also came with too short a USB cable. If you are wondering if you should get the Akai Mini or the Motor then the Motor is the better choice. Once you pay for tax and a longer USB cable for the Akai Mini you are at the same price the Motor 49 will set you back. I ended up ordering the Motor 61 and it did arrive with a decent length USB cable too, so I’d assume the same goes for the 49. I read in some reviews that some users could not make it work. My experience was plug and play with FL Studio running in Windows 10. No driver download is required. Just set the Midi input in your application to the Motor and you are ready to go. I gave it 4 rather than 5 stars because it is what it is compared to something high end from Roland, Yamaha, etc. Those are 5 Star products, but they also come with an appropriate price.

After less than 2 years and very little use some of the keys suddenly stopped working. Would recommend spending a bit more and buying from a more reputable brand.

I wish there was a way I could give this 10 stars . I never imagined myself being the anomaly on a review that has more displeasing reviews than good ones .. but fact of the matter is , I love this controller .. it's does WHAT I need it to do, HOW I need it to do it, most importantly WHEN I tell it to do it .. it's worth it's weight in gold .

Bought for so little as a discontinued product. Though I can see what some of the other negative reviews where saying. In my case everything works but I do notice the black keys report higher velocity values. When automated the sliders do make some noise but it's acceptable, if I was truly auditioning the playback I think I'd turn it off.Also I find it nice that you can leave the AC power off for the keyboard and everything EXCEPT the motorized sliders will function.

This works flawlessly with CuBase 10.5. It does everything you expect it to. 2 modes one is midi controller and one is midi + DAW controller. motorized faders work smooth and are stable. Tough metal? construction. Keys are not weighted and dont have that piano feel, but seriously for 130 bucks you get soooo much more than anything else I have found out there. Has its on built in arpegiator so you dont have to rely on software for that. This thing is total beast mode. I love it

La diferencia de sensibilidad entre las teclas negras y las teclas blancas es muy exagerada, así que se torna muy incómodo para tocar.Ofrece muchísimo en cuanto a relación costo-beneficio, pero el problema de la diferencia de sensibilidad de las teclas para mi es un problema muy grave.Las teclas en realidad son carentes de peso, así que son muy "livianas".Si Behringer solucionará el problema de la sensibilidad con una actualización de firmware sería un excelente teclado, por el momento no lo es!!

I bought this to as a starter board to use with piano learning software on PC and it works well enough for that. Good key action (for what it is), lots of features, it's fun to make the faders zip around for no reason in silly patterns. The build quality is not amazing, don't get me wrong I wasn't expecting the moon at this price point and it's adequate, but some of the keys don't sit flush with the rest of the keybed and a few have a bit of stick when you first hit them, almost like there's some tacky adhesive that got somewhere it wasn't meant to.
