I need a master keyboard simply to replace the previous dating (15 years I think ... see more). After several back and see that my little market research this model came out from the crowd!
It is relatively robust, although relatively light. It has a USB interface, an input for a pedal and conventional MIDI IN / OUT.
The power of the machine can be done via USB or via a transformer not supplied.

UTILIZATION

I like the feel of this keyboard even though it is certainly not the best of the best he did his job! Level configuration and nothing much has been reported as separate plug in, play on, varying the octaves fiddling Pitch Bend or Mod-Wheel is super basic ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for nearly 5 years and I am very satisfied, given the price I think it is a "master purchase" for any beginner who did not invest too.

Simple USB connection, no need external power, great design ..
I have so far used the USB port for connectivity, which must be a little mfier for drivers, and force its installation so even if it n'tait not recognized by my software .

UTILIZATION

We biensr far from a real piano touch is always sufficient to electronic music etc. .. but it is one of the points that I'll be careful when I achter one more (touch (semi-) heavy).
The assignment of pitch and modulation wheels is very simple, it dpend especially APRS software. And so from the small problem of USB drivers, it is simple to configure.
I have used that n'me trs little manual, but it seemed rather clear.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 2 months.
I like his lgret and therefore easy to transport, its beautiful finish, knobs ..
on the other hand, it's really just 49 keys, is the point that I regret a little, not to be taken with a 5 octave (61 keys), just to be able to play some songs properly. (My neighbor has 88 keys, is a sr)
Before buying it, I just old Casio synth five octaves of my mre, the main problem silent food and no midi / usb, so that the ct I t filled with the Keystation 49e ^ ^.
Trs good value quality / price, I bought 85 Neo mao Montpellier.
This choice I would do so, but then in the number of keys for my use is limited, but otherwise .. no problem

- What technical specifications motivated your choice? It is functional and is priced Ingala.
- What connector (MIDI pedals ...)? Then connect midi because too many USB latency.

UTILIZATION

- The touch keyboard is it enjoyable? Should you use? I'm not a Glenn Gould Swifs then must be pressed hard to have a trs VLOC maximum cons.

- The configuration gnrale Is it easy? Trs simple overall.
- The select MIDI channels, patches is easy? Yes everything is very easy to aprhender.
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ... Designed to keep clear and well-worn hand to advance rcapitulatif functions (a small mmo on the keyboard itself would not hurt.)

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it? few days.

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
It is nice but trs-level drivers that there is the problem significant, making it work in USB is very simple, midi is a different story (not feasible in the plug and play you must use the supplied cd) drivers are not signed numriquement, so that the windows uninstall each dconnexion / off the keyboard and as the installation requires a reboot is weighing . Some problem with Reason beginners should be added to the keyboard and not manually select the one proposed by the autodtection.

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir? Nope dpucelage keyboard master here ^ ^

- How do you report qualitprix? Excellent.
- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ... Yes, except major default drivers.
