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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Versatile Keyboard with Amazing Features! 🎹🔥 I recently purchased the Alesis Harmony 61 Pro, and I’m honestly impressed with everything it offers. This keyboard comes with 580 high-quality sounds, giving you endless options to explore different styles and genres. The touch-sensitive keys feel great and responsive, making it perfect for both beginners and more advanced players. One of my favorite features is the X/Y performance pad, which adds a unique DJ-style effects control—super fun and creative to use while playing. The USB MIDI connectivity is another big plus. It connects easily to my computer for recording and music production, making it a great tool for both practice and studio work. It’s also lightweight and portable, so you can take it anywhere without any hassle. For the price, this keyboard delivers way more than expected. Overall, this is a powerful, fun, and versatile keyboard. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking to learn, create, or perform music!

The only thing that is a bit of a down is the keys don't feel lie a real piano, but those correctly are the nicer Yamaha and Roland options from $500 to thousands. Even a $3,000 Korg has 61 keys that feel pretty much like the keys on this one, just spring resistance with velocity response (No hammer action feel and definitely not graded (bass is harder to push and treble is lighter touch on nice pianos). This only matters if you plan to learn and take your learning to a real piano so the feel of the keys is learned and the physical feedback of the lower registers shakes the room. This keyboard has Excellent sound with the built in speakers, and they produce bass that can be felt in the keys, but not the hammer action feel. Highly recommend, the scale on LCD display as well as the chord leaning/coach modes are hidden gems, as well as the sample sound you can pitch up or down. Not a lot covered in the manual but this keyboard packs a huge variety of options, it may not sound or feel like a piano, but for messing around for ideas with something you can carry with you that runs on AA batteries, this is my #1 Suggestion. Excellent noise, the missing 2 octaves can be "moved" in options to shift all the keys to be the lower octave of a real piano or the upper 61 keys by going up or down an octave. It records your performances to SD card and works flawlessly with Digital Audio Workstations. I like the Cakewalk software and Waveform options for free and just recording. Excellent price, amazing price and packed with features. Learning or refreshing or just wanting to mess around a bit to have a midi input keyboard for some project, this can't be beat. The Akai in the same price range have tiny keys where an adult can't push just one easily if actually playing, those are more for control inputs for a DAW on the computer instead of being able to play standalone. Those keys are annoying, the keys on this one are the same size as all the pianos and pro keyboards so way easier to control what keys are hit and the velocity sensitivity can be increased or decreased to determine how sensitive it is. Like I said, tons of features.

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.

It’s really nice and I am enjoying it.

Great sounding keyboard with LOTS of options.

Good enough for beginners and casual playing. Great sound and rithms. Split, and layer options are very useful.

It connects to midi and an amp well. Can even put a mic through it. The sound selection is very nice. I write music, so that’s nice. It’s lightweight and easy to use.

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.
