How times change. About 30 years ago bought my mother, who was a really good piano player, a keyboard. When they proudly played their new instrument, the family was shocked and did not stint with comments. Playing on the keyboard recalled a harmonium in a morgue ....! Squeaky wooden tones! The keyboard was quickly given away to a child from the neighborhood and my mother went back to her piano. But today there is a keyboard in the form of Magix Music Maker 2015 Control! And it has nothing remotely to do more with the keaboard generation on which my mother played. The Magix Music Center is a really mature product, in which an entire recording studio you get into the house next to a MIDI keyboard! The Magix Music Maker comes in a huge box, in which the keyboard occupies the most space. Priced at under 140.- I had a rather light, simple keyboard expect and was quite astonished to unpack a really good visually geratenes, heavy part! Without installing the software but the keyboard is not working. Installing the software takes time and I was glad when it was all completely saved on the computer. After the amazement began ....! It's fascinating what options you have with the Magix Music Maker on a musical basis. This should also be mentioned here only partially, was beyond the scope! Suffice it to say that you can play numerous instruments with the keyboard, has a wide variety of settings and can always conjure up new sounds. As a layman, you will be quickly overwhelmed by the possibilities! Still, a really beautiful instrument! Who plays with the idea themselves to buy a keyboard, either for themselves or for children, 'here is the place to be. At a purchase price of under 150.- you get a really quality instrument and a software that allows you at home has its own recording studio!
