The front-to-back footprint of the keyboard is small and, whilst the keys are full-size and so determine the width of the keyboard, the VI weighs just 5.9kg, which should appeal to those intending to use it live.
However, all of this control comes within a compact and very portable frame. Whilst this works perfectly well, compared to more fully-appointed screens, it does feel a little basic. The latter can either be used for note input (making them perfect for drum programming), or for further control message triggering, and their backlights respond to velocity, providing you with visual feedback of how hard they've been hit.įurthermore, to the left of the rotaries, you'll find a row of transport buttons for DAW control, Octave Up/ Down buttons for extending the keyboard range, plus Tempo and Roll buttons, which can be used for drum roll triggering.Ī clearly cost-saving three-character LED display keeps you updated with parameter changes. The upper section of the keyboard provides 16 rotary dials, 48 buttons (arranged in three rows of 16) and a 4x4 matrix of pads. However, by far and away the most eye-catching feature of the VI61 is the vast array of control options and pads.
