Alesis Harmony 61 Pro - 61 Key Keyboard Piano with Adjustable Touch Response, USB Midi, 580 Sounds, X/Y Performance Touchpad with DJ-Style FX

The Alesis Harmony 61 Pro is a good keyboard for the money. This keyboard is good for kids and adult to play. The 580 sounds are clean and clear with good reverb and other effects to add nice ambience. The keys are spring loaded, also called synth weighted (No Hammer/Weighted Action) but the feel is very good with velocity touch response. There are plenty of Song styles to choose from with Intros/Endings, fills A and B, fade In/Out and Synchronized Start features. The features are good and what you would expect in a keyboard of this type. The Mix feature gives you five parts per song and you an also turn on/of the six instruments used in each song, which can be fun to play around with. You have 177 songs in the Song Bank to choose from and you can also do basic recording of you playing performance and store your songs in five user locations in User Song Banks 178-182. Thee is no song editing of your recorded songs but you can save your songs to an SD Card (128Gb max capacity) and edit the Midi song files in your computer DAW/Sequencer software. The SD Card also allows you to record your performances as audio files which is handy if you are using the mic input on the keyboard to sing along with your playing. There are also Lesson modes that help you practice with your right and left hand, also timing and note memorization. The USB-B port lets you connect to your computer and use the Alesis Harmony 61 Pro as a Midi controller. Over all I give the Alesis Harmony 61 Pro 5 stars. The only things I found that need improvements is the keyboard cabinet makes some vibration noise when bass notes are played. Also sometimes when exiting the Record Mode you may have to press the Styles button and then the Sound button to totally get out of the Song Mode. The Alesis Harmony 61 Pro is a better keyboard than many of the No/Lo Name Brand keyboards. This keyboard is in he same league as the Casio and Yamaha lower priced keyboard range. 5 Star.

Please be aware that I am Not a good piano player, I just love digital Midi instruments. Thanks for watching.

WOW great little keyboard

I bought this for a friend and he says he loves it

Sadly my keys are sticking on two of them within four months of purchase but it’s under warranty so I’m sure it’ll get replaced one thing to note is u will need a audio device if you want to play your keyboard sounds into an app like garage band I didn’t know that so functionality’s been limited as far as making music goes but it has tons of features so many I’m not sure what I’m doing to be honest but has a detailed instruction manual wish it was laminated on the outsides though for easy tossing around my station without having to worry about ruining it and having to tuck it away constantly as it is so informative. Sounds great and can make u sound like u own multiple instruments at once with the change of a single dial it has like 500 different sounds from electronic to normal piano to organ to guitar sounds it’s awesome and very loud and great sound for the price also has a auto play feature with four tracks or so that can play on repeat one I love the rest I wish I could switch out possibly can with a Sd card inserted if u wanna use it like a radio as well and has good amount of plug-ins in the back however, if you’re going to connect this to Apple products, you will need a couple different connectors like one for your microphone. If you’re going to need a jack that fits the back of the piano and different adapters, which can be really confusing just ask the robots what you need and then confirm with the other robot if they’re correct lol overall if my keys didn’t get stuck and the keys themselves felt a little less cheap. I would absolutely give this 10 stars but overall it’s a very reliable sturdy high-performance entry-level instrument I’m middle age and it’s still a lot for me to learn with all of its features. I really do like it. I recommend buying the warranty though as always, even though Alesis offers a manufacturer warranty for defects also doesn’t show key letters on them but for the price u can’t beat it I researched for weeks and this is definitely the best buy for your money in my opinion.

Very nice instrument for beginning keyboard players. It sounds great and has many features.

Excellent value for the money. It has he features and technology of keyboards costing thousands more. Very pleased with this purchase.

This keyboard has so many wonderful features and opportunities to learn more about keyboarding, exploring midi, and creating unique music. We got this for my 88 year old Mother In Law, who wants to refresh her piano skills and enjoy just playing. It is perfect for her. The weighted keys makes playing feel just like the piano, the size of the keyboard functions great in her space. And it was a breeze to set up. I think she will get many hours of enjoyment with this instrument.

Love this keyboard but having the hardest time trying to find a SD card that works for it. Otherwise great for beginners wish I would have bought this one before I got my previous one

It's an excellent keyboard and I'd highly recommend it. A photo is attached (you don't get a laptop, I've just hooked it up to a spare laptop I have to use the keyboard's MIDI function on music software I have on that laptop because you can do that as well, it's very versatile). Excellent sound quality from the inbuilt speakers and of course you can also hook up headphones for privacy or a PA system or, for example, a mixer or guitar amplifier that has an Aux socket, so really really good and I'm really glad I bought it.

Con muchas dudas, me decidí por este teclado y desde el momento en que lo desempaqueté quedé impresionada. Nada que ver con el Yamaha PSR E373 que acababa de devolver. Mucho mejor la calidad del plástico con que está fabricado... mucho más volumen (15w cada altavoz)... y muy buen sonido. Para aprender y entretenerme, sin duda mucho mejor. El Yamaha lo devolví porque las teclas más altas prácticamente no sonaban. Cuanto más agudas, menos se oían con sólo 2,5 w. Este le da mil vueltas. Ahora, eso sí, es americano y no hay instrucciones en español. Además, tuve que comprar un adaptador europeo pero nada, eso fue un euro. Por cierto, lo compré de alguna devolución pero estaba en perfecto estado. No tiene ni un rasguño, funciona perfectamente y pagué 180 euros.

Extraordinario Teclado, versatil, comodo en sus teclas y con muchas funciones

El sonido es bastante bueno se los recomiendo ampliamente

Muy completo para principiantes.
