The small size of the keyboard 25touches, the pads of Mpc, transportation to start the sequencer motivated me.
The connectors are the most common, USB and Midi, and various input jack for pedals.

UTILIZATION

The touch keyboard is very nice, with a feeling agréable.Il does not play chords, but is more than enough to record riffs, melodies, bass lines, patterns or batterie.Je not remember the manual but I just dropped the case on the config.
I think there are ways to do some wonderful things with all its knobs, but to be honest, I had little time before me, and suddenly I dropped the idea to get into the main configurations during the nights!
So if it's simple, I do not know ...

OVERALL OPINION

I used it a few months, the pads of Mpc unsuitable for my use.
I wanted the pads flexible and responsive, woe! I found myself battling the pads less sensitive to velocity, even if several modes are possible. So, I played the drum patterns on the keyboard, practice! :-(
The functions available on the sequencer transport, are very useful.
The rotary is handy if assigned to the effects, or filters, to dubstep!
And the idea of ​​the arpeggiator is handy!
With experience, I do not redeem this keyboard, a larger model for the stage, perhaps, but for
the studio I would need something more simple, more flexible, particularly at the level pads and config! Maybe something smaller!
