Value For Money : Excellent
In the era keyboard format 25 was enough for me.
I had too much space and not PPET c'tait my first MIDI controller.
So I jump on the product: Controller, blue design not too ugly.
A MIDI out, taking a pin to connect to the old ordis.
The transformer is provided.
8 knobs, pitch and mod normal.
Caracas is for maximum 6 / 10.

UTILIZATION

Soft touch, not great but I've seen worse on synths and keyboards control more expensive.
Simple to start, a work quickly.
It assigns every two UP / DOWN buttons and keyboard keys that have a dual function.
Remember the whole manual.
Simple and fast but could do better: 5 / 10

OVERALL OPINION

I use it against my will and lack of space for almost 10 years. I think it was in 1998.
I bought trs shortly APRS its release.

It is compact and still holds 90% of the road.
Merdouille against it by the transmission of information with some ppins MIDI MIDI continuous. The keyboard rpondent well in almost all cases.
I've had others since, but lack of space the MC-25 is still the most used at home.
It's not got through!

Report qualitprix pretty decent even if I always cass the ***** to put as many in a poor bl Controller.

Looking back: there was not much choice the era. Since there were the M-Audio Oxygen (almost copies) and many much better keyboards. I do not advise it and Exceeds unless you have blackjack it has no Intrets.
We'll see if the current EMU have the same life. It still works, it's the main thing.

Subjectively: 10 years I have under my nose, I start having my slap!

October 16, 2009 EDIT:
I still have the MC-25. Even if it is plastic is its strong avre. Today I am fortunate to have available an Edirol PCR500. Trs much more upscale, more complete, USB and everything else. The MC-25 does not compare: not the same number of notes and not the same age. What happened to the MC-25? He still serves. I still use it to drive expanders or virtual synths in addition to the PCR500. It's a little keyboard matre ddi effects, or anything that does not need to be on a keyboard XCUT long. The Studiotech is adapted to play a bass line or the trig loop. The PCR500 has pads for rhythm, but the keys on the MC-25 can be complmentaires.
In a set up with three keyboards, I use the MC-25 for bass, TRIGA samples and effects, the PCR500 for lead and Ensoniq SQ2 for organs. This is an example.
Sometimes I use the MC-25 when I do not want to connect the PCR500 (which takes much more space) or that I drive an expander without turning on the computer.

The MC-25 is fairly compact, it arises without much problem on a desk or on the hood of a synthtiseur. It was for him to be practical plutt solid and cheap. Sometimes certain dlirent touch with a contact cleaning the problem disappears.
