It doesn't have a lot of features but you don't buy it for its versatility... It's super convenient for mobile applications and it doesn't require any drivers since it is immediately detected as USB device... I use it with Reason on a Macbook.
UTILIZATION
Average finish and feel although I expected it to be even worse. Some buttons are already worn out after a few hours of use even though I handle it very carefully because it seems to be easily breakable... It has four velocity curves but I think that's a marketing gimmick because I can't hear a real difference between them...
OVERALL OPINION
IMHO the unit has a dubious quality and although the original idea was good, Korg should offer a better product even if that means it would be more expensive... The quality is average even for an ultra basic notepad product and every budget master keyboard with real keys is more pleasant to use. It's true, it has a very compact size but the quality is very poor. It definitely needs some improvements!
