I plugged it in, loaded Garageband and was working instantly. **Q: Might be a dumb question but can this be connected via mid cable? All i see is usb port on picture** A: It does not have the old school 5 pin DIN midi ports but the USB port is USB midi and works the same as the 5 pins. Actually better because you don't need a midi interface and it uses one cable instead of 2. It can also power your midi controller via USB, assuming your midi device supports that. I was skeptical moving from. 5 pin midi to USB midi but now that I have I no longer use the 5 pin cables if possible. **Q: Does it work with fl studio** A: Worked fine with FL Studio 12.x **Q: Is it compatable with fl studio** A: Yes, it does work with FL studios. I've been using it when I travel and away from the studio. It has definitely helped my composing of awesome beats. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent quality, low price, good purchase! *by on Reviewed in the United States July 3, 2021* I bought some crazy other MIDI keyboard but I was surprised with the lack of keys really irritating me. It left me to giving it away and going back to this keyboard. This might show how much love I truly have for this keyboard.It's really cheap and of course not super high quality, but enough to make it passable. Works well once it's plugged in, has very easy to understand octave controls, paired with pitch and modulation / volume buttons. Some small buttons to work with, but good for a beginner because you don't really want a lot to overwhelm you: as a beginner, you are much better off with learning how to record basic chords or melodies on FL Studio or whatever such you use, and you don't need any crazy buttons for that really.With a decent number of keys, but small enough to make it at least semi-portable, it works well for home use, though personally I think the quality would make it questionable for portability. I would recommend this to anyone starting off with FL Studio or just wanting a really cheap midi keyboard for melodies and such. Despite being 2 years in making music, I've still been using this keyboard and I wouldn't change that for a second. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly NICE at such a cheap price!! *by on Reviewed in the United States June 6, 2026* Super easy to plug right and get going with my DAW. Has octave transpose to shift up or down octaves at the press of a lighted button! Keys feel great!! Good touch feel and resistance so you can easily add the expression you need. was like $30.. come on!? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved the keyboard for size, price, & function, but had build quality issues within a week of purchase *by on Reviewed in the United States February 17, 2018* ===UPDATE AFTER RECEIVING REPLACEMENT===I was able to return the keyboard and get a replacement within the span of about three days, which was excellent. The new keyboard has not presented any durability issues, and serves my purposes very well (as described below). I have not yet attempted to travel with it again, but hopefully the key breaking off was an anomaly and I should be able to pack it in carry-ons in the future without any trouble.I've bumped up my review from 2 stars to 4 stars to reflect my satisfaction with the replacement product rather than the original.===ORIGINAL REVIEW===This keyboard seemed like the perfect product for me. I wanted a small, portable USB MIDI keyboard with basic functions (pitchbend and modwheel, octave selection, transposition, sustain pedal input) and no other frills, which was affordably priced and that I could easily travel with to record ideas on the road or to use while finishing tracks in Logic. I was also interested in a small keyboard that I could easily set up next to my drum set, so that I could use it to play occasional keyboard parts with one hand while drumming.The keyboard was half the price of most competitive options, and for the first few days upon arrival I was thrilled with it. The keys are a bit stiff at first but loosen up within the first hour of play, and overall it was serving my needs spectacularly. Shortly after it arrived, I departed for a period of extended travel and packed the keyboard in one of my bags (I was traveling by bus and train for a two week period). Within five days, however, one of the keys broke off. It happened on one of the days when I was not traveling, and I hadn't been using it intensely or heavily, so I really am not sure how to explain it except that the quality of the plastic is just not very high. I guess you get what you pay for; perhaps a more expensive keyboard of the same size would be a bit sturdier. But I was really enjoying the keyboard otherwise so I'm dismayed to have had to review it poorly.Once my travel concluded I was able to send the product in for replacement; I'm hoping that it turns out to be an anomalous product defect and perhaps the replacement keyboard will have a sturdier build. I really like this keyboard as a simple, functional solution to my compact MIDI keyboard needs, so I'd love to bump this review up higher if the replacement turns out to be in good shape. ## Frequently Bought Together - midiplus AKM320 Midi Keyboard Controller - CableCreation USB B to USB C Printer Cable 6.6FT, Type B to Type C Printer Cord for MacBook Pro, Air, MIDI Cable for Yamaha Casio Digital Piano, MIDI Keyboard, DJ Controller, DAC to iPad - 2M, Black - Amazon Basics USB-A to USB-B 2.0 Cable for Printer or External Hard Drive, Computer Compatible, Gold-Plated Connectors, Black, 6 Foot --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/15277541-akm320-midi-keyboard-controller](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/15277541-akm320-midi-keyboard-controller) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-09-09*
