User questions & answers

Question:	What is the warranty length
Answer:	if you are asking if there is a delay between touching the keys and the sound produced, there is not. If you are asking if it supplies a reverb delay effect. the answer is no.
Question:	Is the included power adapter dual voltage
Answer:	Definitely. The weighted keys respond well to dynamic play
Question:	Can i attach a foot pedal
Answer:	Alesis support here! When using the keyboard by itself, it can only play the built-in sounds, but with the USB connection, you can connect the Recital Pro to a computer and use it as a MIDI device to control any virtual instrument you'd like that is on your computer. If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me directly at [email protected].
Question:	When the description says adjustable key sensitivity, does that indicate that the keys are touch-sensitive and play louder based on force
Answer:	Either the advertising is wrong, or every answer to this question is. The weighting variants for keyboards is: synth action, semi-weighted, fully weighted, hammer action. Synth action is a spring and feels like a toy. Semi-weighted are springs but with weights to keep them from springing back up too quickly, but they also feel very unnatural. Fully weighted has a more natural feel, but each of the 88-keys has the same resistance and rebound. Hammer action has actual hammers and weights built into the keys, giving them the most natural feel, and if they are "graded" hammer action keyboards, the lower octaves are heavier than the higher octaves.

User questions & answers

Question:	does this product come with all the needed cords
Answer:	it comes with the usb to the keyboard cord which is all the keyboard needs. since it takes the power from the pc it connects to.
Question:	Does it work for Fl studio 9 or higher
Answer:	I use FL Studio 11 and it works just fine :)
Question:	Will it work with Garage band
Answer:	Yes-it works great with garage band.
Question:	Do the keys press smooth? Are the keys actually "semi-weighted" or "like semi-weighted" synth keys
Answer:	Not weighted, but as a lifelong pianist these keys are much better than the cheap non-weighted keyboards, I'd say semi-weighted for sure. Perhaps the other answer on here wasn't as experienced with technique to know the difference between this and the ones that are completely non-weighted. More control here without a doubt.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you record samples and use them
Answer:	Alesis support here! The VI25 is a controller only, allowing you to control audio from your DAW so with the combination of a DAW, you can definitely record samples and use them with this keyboard. If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me directly at [email protected].
Question:	does this work with garageband
Answer:	Yup
Question:	does it plug into ac
Answer:	I dont believe so. It is a midi controller and I assume it is purely usb-buss powered. It may have the option for AC incase you don't wish to strain your laptop battery but I am unsure as it is unreleased yet. By the way if you didn't know this is a midi controller and cannot standalone or produce sounds without being connected to a computer or to analog/digital hardware such as a synth or drum machine.
Question:	how do the keys "feel" compared to an actuall piano key? i have found that alot of lower priced keyboards hav a spongey kinda feel
Answer:	These keys are semi weighted. This means that when you press down on them they have light to moderate resistance when pressed and will return less springy than a cheaper synth. Think between a regular piano and a cheap synth and that's the feel you get.
