Midiplus X-8 III

This is truly an amazing quality midi controller keyboard. Only the sides are plastic and the part with the pitch and modulation touch strips, but the rest is all metal.
It does definitely not have a cheap lightweight feel like most other brands at this price point and even ones that cost a bit more.
It's the first time that I have touch strips as pitch and modulation, and it works so smooth and responsive with very light touch.

The key bed is not squeaky or noisy and a joy to play on. I use it for music production and just have the right amount of control for my needs with Cubase Pro 12.
This controller looks stylish and sleek and rock solid with its all-metal chassis. I can definitely recommend this 88key controller at this price point.

Thanks, Thomann for the great service and products!

I got this because of the looks/design at first and the good overall reviews.
This thing is a "sleeper". Definitely under the radar and I wish I knew about it earlier. It could have saved me a few euros on my search for a nice affordable controller.I think,hands down, it beats anything around this price range and you have to go for the much more expensive stuff
to for a better option.
The keybed, although not the best out there, is passable and at least you get a really nice velocity response. But definitely on the light side. To me
it has the perfect balance if you wanna use your 88 master controller for both piano and synths parts. Also , not noisy or springy and definitely not uneven velocity response between black and white keys!

I bought this as a full size upgrade to my previous master keyboard in my home studio set up.

As always, the Thomann experience was first class and delivery, even to my remoter part of Europe (Transylvania) was swift and trouble-free.

The keyboard is very solid, the casing is almost entirely metal and gives a weighty premium feel.

The playing feel is excellent, light enough for speed but with enough weight and resistance on the keys to give control and expression.

All of the feature are quick and easy to apply.

My only preference would be physical pitch and expression controls rather than the touch sensitive as I find the expression slider to be a bit fiddly sometimes if I want to apply a flourish like a trumpet trill or similar, when compared to the ease with a wheel control. However, in reality its simply a new skill to master, rather than any actual failing of the keyboard.

Its slim enough to sit in front of my computer screens and looks far more expensive than it was.

Great value and excellent quality.
