Gearank Recommendation
The QMini appeared on our recommended list for MIDI Keyboards Under $100 from June 2021 until being removed in July 2022 when it was out-ranked by other keyboards.
Overview
The Alesis QMini is a portable MIDI controller that aims to keep up with even your most sporadic of creative moments.
Because of its diminutive size, it can easily fit in your bag along with your laptop for mobile music production and songwriting.
The QMini also includes bundled copies of ProTools and MPC Beats.
If you're looking for a small MIDI Controller for portability or are just starting out and want something that doesn't occupy the entire desk, the Alesis QMini is a great place to start.
