LOVE this!

I gigged with this in February and it's a real joy. It's taken some time to get used to playing it as when you wear it, it's in an unnatural playing position, but after practice it's fine. Great features, functions and the wireless ability in it is great.Looks cool too!

Lots of control, OK build quality but poor software support

37 full-size keys with velocity and channel aftertouch in a lightweight keytar body. All plastic but sturdy enough for home use - I have seen some played on stage but I'd be skeptical about how long it could stand up to being on the road.Enough other controls (as well as the velocity and aftertouch) to make it very expressive though; a pitch bend wheel as you'd expect and a modulation ribbon (which can have three easily selectable assignments, a sustain button and an accelerometer - all user-definable. Then there are 8 sliders and 8 drum pads and again, all these can be assigned to MIDI CCs or Notes or whatever using the associated config app.Only if you use Windows though. The Alesis website says the MacOS version of the app is being developed/tested but I wouldn't hold your breath as it's said that for years now.So, a great controller for your home studio if you have a Windows PC with which to configure it basically.

Unusable with latest MacOS

This product is UNUSEABLE with the latest Mac operating systems. The basic program to actually set up the device is incompatible due to it being a 32 bit program. I checked all the requirements before I bought it. It has minimum requirements listed but no mention of maximum! A Christmas present, I spent 5 hours after Boxing Day trying to set up and work out what was wrong and how to fix it. Such a horrible stressful experience, ruined my post Christmas break. Managed to download all the other software but the one item you actually need to assign the buttons/pads can not be opened.

Great deal on. great keyboard

My 3rd Alesis Vortex - had the original white non-wireless, the black Wireless-II which I gifted to my son, and now this one. Packed with features, great quality. Would happily have paid $1000 back in the day for a wireless keytar!

A decent controller: latest firmware update (Aug 2018) does seem to fix the glissandi stuck note issue

Updated Review 2018-09-04: A recent firmware upgrade published on the Alesis website seems to have fixed the earlier issue with rapid glissandi occasionally resulting in a stuck note. No issues to report after a couple of weeks of regular playing. I've upped my rating from three to four stars, kudos to Alesis for ironing out bugs. I'm fairly confident this could be safe in a live setting now. If you buy, do run the firmware upgrade it, it's easy and the instructions were clear.Original Review: Read the slightly negative reviews and figured I take a chance; those reviews are correct. In some respects it's a nice thing, it's light, and perhaps that does leave it feeling a bit plasticky, but it's a £200 bit of gear, so I'll give that a pass. But problematically: glissando, or any very rapid note sequence and the thing does, as others have pointed out, often miss a note off message leaving a stuck note playing and that's just unforgivably dumb. Bad, Alesis! Bad!If I'm being extra pedantic, I also found the shoulderstrap not quite long enough. But really, it's the only keytar option about at the moment without getting into silly money on 2nd-hand Rolands on eBay. For fun and practice, at the price it's probably worth it. For stage work, the note off problem it might prove be a bit high risk.

Comes with nothing stored on the keytar and cannot be played without being connected to a computer.

This product is stunning and very ideal for making home music IF your willing to spend around £600 afterward to down load any form of music onto the keytar. It required so much technology to be downloaded that it took over 5 hours on super fast broadband to get everything sorted. Even then the software included is outdated and not easy to find or download. Cannot be played live on stage without a computer hooked up to your sound deck. Does not store setting or sounds to be played without a computer .
