If you see yourself playing in a more pianistic way, definitely spend a bit more on a 49 key keyboard. As long as you are mostly playing in simple triads and melidies, you'll probably be fine. The extra cost of the A25 doesn't quite seem justified to me. If your music will have you using the controller to play in passages that don't take up much range, I would probably go with the Arturia. The Komplete A49 is $50 more than the A25, and I know there are other similarly prices keyboards on the market. Because of that, I would personally up the price range to allow for a 49 key instrument. My point is that I personally would feel limited by 25 keys (that's two octaves). If I'm playing a more pianistic passage with both hands, I'll use three octaves. If I'm playing in a solo, I'll probably use around two octaves to do it.

It's common for me to play chords that span two octaves. I'm going to guess that the extra knobs won't be used either.įor me, the number of keys is one of the most important factors. There isn't much daw control, but it's worth asking how much of that you would actually use. The pitch and modulation controls are on a touch pad instead of a wheel. The Arturia and the A25 seem pretty comparable to me.

I've gotten the impression that Arturia and NI have pretty similar feeling keys in this price range. Okay, I haven't used any of these, so I'm talking purely from the specs.įor me, number of keys is probably as important as feel in this price range.
