I chose it mainly for its semi-weighted keys (touch piano), his aftertouch, velocity accuracy, the 8 pads for exceptional accuracy.
Connectors MIDI / USB, almost instant installation plug & play, no lag (obviously for MIDI)
UTILIZATION
The touch keyboard is divine, semi-weighted with aftertouch, a treat.
We quickly forget the 2 octaves and you let yourself quickly overwhelmed by the ultra ergonomic interface.
The configuration and selection of midi channels depends primarily on the DAW. Under Ableton Live, it takes a little digging in FL Studio is a breeze rather disconcerting!
The pads are astounding accuracy!
The keyboard itself is weighted, which gives it a special ergonomic and thus constitutes a stable and very suitable for music composition and creation of arrangements.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 5 months. It is a joy, he accompanied me in the creation of songs and arrangements to perfection. It performs its function at 100% and a little more.
Pros: Semi-weighted (+ aftertouch), 8 pads of high precision, weighted keyboard
Cons: a little tricky to configure the knobs in some DAW; the 2 octaves? yes but it is considered that in this range.
10/10 So.
EDIT: M-Audio has released drivers for Windows 7, which allows me to use Enigma, the M-audio software that lets you configure the keyboard easily.
