Selected User Reviews For PianoBox Mini General MIDI Sound Module

Your money is worth saving

3/5

While it does work as advertised, there is one major problem and one minor problem. As far as sounds go, they're not good when compared to A high end Casio keyboard from the late 1980s would be comparable to these. It's not even as if they have When you play a hard note on an electronic keyboard you should hear a hard note sound, but I don't I just want to hear crappy piano sounds louder. To get any gain from the volume, even with headphones, you have to use an external amplifier. There is no doubt that the user experience was the priority here and not No matter how you look at it, the $200 doesn't matter.

Modulise the sound of your music anywhere easily and at a low cost

4/5

The PianoBox MIDI sound module was delivered to me in just two days after I placed my There are no words to describe how happy I am A few instructions are given. It can be connected to the Internet by two methods There are two connectors a USB cable and a Midi out cable. For this to work, I've got my m_audio keyboard and my PC running Real Band or Band in a Box There was a need for an additional module for Box. The USB to MIDI adapter I got is an MIO 1 in 1 out device. As a business person, I am not involved in a There is no latency in the recordings I make. I really like the sound of the unit as a standalone There is a single module that plays the sound from the keyboard. It is easy to use and straight forward.

Wasn't as promising as I thought it would be

3/5

Previously, I had purchased a slightly less expensive unit of the same type that failed to impress. Initially, I was excited about this one, but it did not prove to be the case. I used it with a Fishman Tripleplay which had Even unplayed out tracks were added to this track - very poor tracking Here are some key points. As far as sound quality is concerned, it's okay, but I am not too fussy about it. It will be one day before we get an affordable sound module that can be used that costs under $200. As of yet, I have not found one. Can you tell me why it's so hard to find these sound modules? My old computer from the 90s did not have a USB port, so I had to buy a used one. You have to pay a lot and use it with difficulty.
