I have an akai advance 49 keyboard. Its a great little bit of kit and works well on live. It also comes with Akai's new software which is called VIP, Which works as like a central hub for all other VST's and comes with plenty of new sounds and a couple vsts to run them on. Good thing with the keyboard is it works like a kind of modern hybrid of a piece of hardware and software. As you can manipulate presets and scroll through sounds on the keyboard without using a mouse. Look them up could be a good gift?

Sorry I can’t help, hopefully someone will reply.
Question for you and everybody really, my 14yr old’s been using Live for a few months, the only hardware is a keyboard which seems to be just for lining chords up, he seldom seems to really compose on it. Most of his stuff is very layered, mushy builds of synthy things, pretty much Ibiza Chill Out filler, some moments of quirk & clarity pop up now and again.
Trying to find a crimbo pressie that could open up some new pastures, hardware or software. Any suggestions? Happy to consider Logic X as he seems to like exploring different programmes. /20th century old man terminology klaxon
I have this idea I should buy him an acid box, his mum’s just found the ROLI thing but it just looks like a keyboard replacement to me, I’m sceptical it wouldn’t be a waste of cash.
