With the offering from Akai and Novation, you’re working on a much smaller scale, which is great for beginners but can be a problem in the long run if you just want to jam out without worrying about loading the right notes onto specific keys. The Alesis V49 is a solid choice if you want to jump in with a near full-sized piano keyboard. The more detailed stuff like programming the knobs and loading in presets can come at a later date once you’ve got the basics down. All you really need to know to get started is how to press keys and slam drum pads.

The MPK Mini MK3 also comes with a deep software to get you up and running complete with over 1500 different sounds. There are also eight drum pads, programmable knobs to load with different plugins, and a thumbstick for controlling the pitch of different keys. Do not start with non-weighted keys because you’ll be causing yourself more problems down the line.
