Donner DMK 25 MIDI Keyboard Review 2022: Prods, Listen Up!!

Heads Up: This isn't your average Donner DMK 25 review. In fact, there's a very good reason why (out of all the midi keyboards on the market), we've taken the time to single out this 25 key board in particular. It all comes back to 1 word - value. Ask us & this is where…

Donner Starrykey Review 2022: OMG… 25 Full-Size Keys!!

We just had to do this Donner Starrykey review. Why? Because no one else is. Yep - for some bizarre reason, not a soul across the entire internet has chosen to review this ingenious 25 key midi. And to be brutally honest, we can't understand why. Especially when Donner's slightly more mass-market midi keyboard…

Donner Circle Looper Review 2022: The Best Budget Looper??

Spoiler: The Donner Circle looper isn't just any old looper. In fact, when it comes to guitar effects pedals, the Circle is the top of Donner's range - it's the bigger brother to more compact pedals like the One & Triple (both also touched on throughout this review). Plus, it's also a worthy contender…

Boss RC 600 Loop Station Review 2022: Just Another Boss Looper??

The Boss RC 600 loop station does things a little differently. That's because, when designing their 2022 breed of loopers (the RC 505 MK2 & the RC 600), Roland have taken things back to the drawing board, and conducted a full-fat redesign! Underneath, the RC 600 is worlds away from it's older brother.…

Boss RC 505 MK2 Loop Station Review: Best Looper Of 2022?!

The Boss RC 505 MK2 loop station ain't just any old looper. It's a loop station that (we think) improves on a winning formula. Call it the rightful successor to the original, which when it was released over 8 years ago, made the art of looping so much more accessible. In which case, with…

Arturia Minilab MK3: The Best Midi Yet? Or The MK2 Rebadged??

The Arturia Minilab Mk3 is the midi controller that we're getting all giddy about. Why? Well, it's been close to 5 years since the legendary Minilab Mk2 hit the shelves and somehow made us forget the tragedy that was the Minilab Mk1 (Sorry Arturia, it wasn't great). So as you can imagine, what with the…

Novation Launchkey Mini MK3 Review 2022: The Next-Gen Midi?

Before the Novation Launchkey Mini MK3 dropped back in 2020, there were rumours of it being a midi phenomenon - a next-gen midi controller that would not only rival the likes of the Akai MPK Mini MK3 & the Arturia Minilab, but practically wipe the floor with them. It was much the same story…

Arturia Minilab MK2 Review: Still A Good Midi Keyboard In 2022?

The Arturia Minilab MK2 is just one of the options you've got if you're after a compact midi keyboard in 2022. And we say 'just one' because, well, since the Minilab MK2 launched back in 2016, the market has changed... substantially. Manufacturers from every corner of the music industry, including the instrument boffins at…
