«  My first MIDI keyboard »

Its price, very affordable for the type of product, and also its ease of use, since I'm a beginner (1 year experience only) computer music. I needed something simple and complete to successfully enlarge my advantage in this area. The connection is very simple, since it is a simple USB connection, which also powers the keyboard.

UTILIZATION

The touch keyboard is very nice, the keys as the pads are very reactive. The potentiometer is assi pleasant to touch and have a resistance of just what it takes. The keys are in hand can be a bit too strong compared to other more expensive keyboard, but nothing really binding. Je'ai found the manual very incomplete, but the simple use of the keyboard go almost useless. I did not find any utility functions of computer music with my software (I use FL Studio 10), for example I do not use pads, and not some of the options at the top left (as programs).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months, and this is my first model. I think for the price this is a keyboard that is really worth its price. However it is a keyboard which I think will be enough for people who have a very good level of computer music and will need a more expensive equipment and more complete. But for a beginner like me, it is more than enough to start producing and start making beautiful things. Anyway investment in a MIDI keyboard is a thing to do if you do not and you want to progress in this area.
