11 audio interfaces that go great with a laptop
Novation Impulse MIDI controller keyboards unveiled
If you’ve decided to start making music on a laptop, there’s a good chance that you want to keep your setup as portable as possible. If this is the case, you’ll most likely want to invest in a portable controller keyboard. We’ve picked out eight of the most popular models, starting with a little red devil from Behringer.
On the plus side, the UMA25S is slim, striking, comes with a decent range of controllers and has a built-in audio interface. There are a few minus points too, however - the keys don’t have much travel and the knobs on the back are a bit fiddly. All told, though, it’s a decent proposition, and even comes with a strap so that you can wear it like a keytar (you know you want to).
