5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Backpack-able Travel Midi Keyboard
Excellent & fits in a backpack!Great build quality, metal base & high quality plastic, hinges are good although I’d like even more heavy duty / larger in a next version. They’re pretty good, not flimsy, but small & not as solid as say Surface Pro kickstand / laptop hinges.There’s no way to lock it open, so you can’t use it on your lap easily. For this & added strength I had to make a 3D printed brace for it, so I can use it away from a desk.Keys are like large computer keyboard keys, but are surprisingly playable. So not a proper keybed (I also have Korg Micro Key air, recommend that for superior keybed, though mini keys) but if you’re a proficient pianist / keyboard player with not giant hands (key widths is fine, but depth is on shorter side) you should be able to use this fine. They are ‘clickity-clackety’ noisy though, sounds like a cheap shallow travel computer keyboard. Velocity sensitivity works fine, had no errant velocity during play (I’ve had that with a travel Maudio Mini 32). If you’re proficient / pro, you should be able to perform / produce with this fine.I like that the mod / PB turns out isn’t an XY (by default at least) but act as 2 separate vertical touch strips.Connecting with bluetooth midi works fine with Mac OS, iOS (although I find I need to connect first, then relaunch app for some reason..), can’t get to work on Windows (10) at all yet. No drivers on website, connects in Bluetooth but doesn’t show up in DAW (cakewalk) nor midiberry… so beware Windows users.Works great outside Windows though. Recommended.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great Portable MIDI Controller Keyboard
I own and like my Xkey Air 37, but I was looking for other portable options and purchased this folding keyboard. Here are my thoughts so far.Like the Xkey Air, it pairs with my iPad via low-latency Bluetooth and has a built-in rechargeable battery.It has standard width keys, but they are shorter than normal (which may be a problem for some keyboard players - it doesn't bother me).The key travel distance (up/down) is less than normal too, but bigger than the Xkey.There are 4 built-in velocity curves plus a fifth option for a custom velocity curve.The keys are synth action, but I find them much more expressive and easier to control compared to the Xkey (e.g., when playing an acoustic piano).The keys are somewhat noisy (click-clack), but I expect noise from this type/size/price.Folded, it is small enough to fit in a backpack - really great!I think the price is very reasonable for what you get.The keyboard does not lock in the open/unfolded position so you have to place it on a flat surface. I use mine with a keyboard stand (but I have to place a piece of wood on the stand to hold the keyboard).
5.0 out of 5 stars exactly what I have wanted
Before buying I have read lots of reviews so I know what Im getting. after receiving the product, I can say from myself that the following is true.1) build quality is more sturdy than I thought2) Key bed is shallow and feels clicky, but strangely its very playable.3) I have no issue with the velocity sensitivity. After trying out a few I prefer the default one.I have read a comment for a similar product saying that if the USB C is the port for charging as well as communication, it will drain your Iphone... I have actually asked the manufacturer and he reassures me that this is not an issue. I have tried myself, after 15 mins of playing thru USB, phone battery only went down for 5%, probably less if I have turned the screen off. I am definitely gonna try bringing it to a 3 hour gig.
2.0 out of 5 stars Portability is great but terrible key action, really Terrible.
If portability is your main concern then this might be for you but its only just about usuable, it has a PC keyboard style key action which is lound and clicky but works I guess. The velocity sensitivity works but isnt great and I could not get the ARP to work unless in internal mode, it does not seem to recieve a midi clock, but that could be my DAW maybe (studio on) or the almost complete lack of instructions.I only paid £60 for this which is just about all its worth, £99 or more is a big ask for this but mainly just due to the poor key action as the whole folding thing is brilliant. Luckily the portabilty is more important to me so i'm keeping it. I will however be looking for something with a better key action at some point.THIS IS NOT FOR BEGINNERS, IT WILL PUT ANYONE OFF PLAYING KEYS !!!
4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of full-width keys in a full-featured, space-saving design.
I'm really pleased with this keyboard and I could write a lot about it. I like the look of it and the fact the keys are full width, so it's easy to alternate between this and a bigger piano. It has plenty of features, which are well-covered on the site and in the manual, so I'll just point out the one thing I don't like about it: the velocity-sensitivity could be better. It's just about functional. It's definitely there, but getting the velocity/loudness you want can be hit and miss. The levels are just too course and imprecise. Sometimes I'll get an almost silent note instead of a quiet one, and sometimes a crashing one when I just want it a bit louder. I suppose this is the trade off for having keys which are essentially oversized computer keys rather than proper levers like a regular piano keyboard. However, as a traveling companion for practise playing, this is great and I will make good use of it for years.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good value for the money
The keys are not hinged like most electronic keyboards. Instead, they seem to float like marimba keys and velocity force is consistent no matter where you press. The keys are sized just right and are very playable. There’s also velocity force settings
5.0 out of 5 stars Great innovation great product
Fantastic for traveling musician wants to quickly capture ideas though play,stop and record button you have to assign it to daw it’s not already done as on other midi keyboards but hardly need those extra anyway good feature though.
Fantastiskt
Oslagbart på resande fot. Helt ok verkligen.
Idéntico

Bene
Ottimo, anche se trovo i tasti troppo larghi. Dato che la funzione di questa tastiera non è esattamente quella di essere utilizzata per esecuzioni, sarebbe stato meglio ridurre la larghezza dei tasti diminuendo così l'ingombro totale.
Für mich als Keyboarder ist es unmöglich eine Oktave im Bass zu spielen! Tasten sind viel zu breit!
Das Carry-On Keyboard mit 49 Tasten als Reise-Keyboard ist prinzipiell eine sehr gut Idee. Die Tasten sind natürlich nicht so hoch wie eine normale Keyboardtastatur, lassen sich dennoch dynamisch spielen. USB-Midi mit dem IPad Pro ist Plug and Play und funktioniert auf Anhieb.Ich habe eine relativ kleine Hand, was seither nie ein Problem war. Es war mir unmöglich mit dem linken und rechten Finger der linken Hand eine Oktave als Begleitung im Bass zu spielen, oder nur mit sehr viel Mühe, dass ich die Finger der Hand unangenehm dehnen muss.Ich habe darauf hin das Carry On auf die Tastatur eines Yamaha Keyboards mit Standard-Tastaturbreite gelegt. Wie man sieht endet Taste 49 vom CarryOn Keyboard auf dem Dis.D.h. die Breite der 49 Tasten in Summe entsprechen der Breite von 52 Tasten einer Standardtastatur.Daher für mich ein No-Go.@CarryOn : Legt eine 2te Version auf mit normalen Synthesizer-Tasten, das wäre als Reisekeyboard super!
