Guys, I have the VI61 and about the squeaky keys: I read about people putting wd40 on them or similar stuff, but it's not necessary and I would strongly advise to never oil up a part that wasn't meant to be by design. Fortunately, mine only had this issue on a single key and I fixed it permanently by opening the controller up and resetting the spring on that key and turning it by few degrees just to be sure: if you notice the squeak noise only comes from the springs not being properly set in their slots on the keys and they really don't need grease at all when set right. Also, beside not having tampered with the controller in a harmful way, this procedure is virtually untraceable if you're careful with the screws, in case you need to send it back under warrantylater on. Hope this is helpful!

Old video, but as someone who just grabbed this thing as in impulse purchase, I can say a few things. IT HAS AFTERTOUCH! The keys feel great for synth type action. It looks great. Beyond that, pads feel good, knobs are good. Click buttons are okay, although not sure what I'll ever use them for right now. (scene triggers in Ableton I suppose). The fact is, if you find it CHEAP, and just need good feeling 49 synth keys, w/ aftertouch, this is a good deal. However, the other fact is, I should have just waiting for NI S61 MKII! It's good for a sub $250.00 controller. There are much better boards though for $400-600.00 and I'd say that if you are serious, just save up. Not having LCD readouts on the controller for the knobs or buttons really is a sad thing in 2021! It's old tech for sure.

if you save the preset to the actual controller it would be one smooth button press, the controller itself can store 24 presets that you make in the editor so you wouldn't have to use the editor.

Hi Jamal! I had been to the shop yesterday. Can not decide between this keyboard and Novation Launchkey. 61 or 49 version. Launchkey and Alesis VI cost same here. Shop worker and internet claim that Launchkey has better keys.. I touched both, and to me Launchkey felt like less resistence and more light(cheap) feel to. And Alesis has aftertouch. But Launchkey is evaluated as best MIDI at several sites.. SHould i go for launchkey? Hopefully it has better soft. Though Alesis VI felt nicer.. Really dunno what to do.

no there is more resistance than regular synth action keys, but it isn't quite ass heavy as real piano keys, and real piano keys have a feel to them where the weight feels different depending on what portion of the keystroke your on and this doesn't do that either, it's kind of in between synth action and a real piano with the actual hammer keys.
