All user reviews of 4/5 for the Evolution Mk-449c

I had an old an broken korg keytar that i kept and now it serve for parts replacement and then i saw that auction on ebay for the mk449c evolution
keyboard and i knew that it will have to be mine.
So i bought the mk449c and i adapted it an aluminium neck and using the parts from the old keytar and realizing some internal connections in about a month
i had a ready to use Diy Keytar
I like the fact that is both : Usb for computer connection and has the Midi Out connection, besides it has many midi controllers, the sliders, knobs and buttons, and i can easy program how i like the sound to be, and also with other programs of course, at distance, without touch the computer keyboard i can send instructions to computer for when i want to start the song, change sounds and tracks, change effects on live presentation, etc.
And better yet i can drive both my Vst instruments and my other love :
The Yamaha Qy100 of course it is the magic of Midi.

UTILIZATION

Once you got thru the manual and experiment with your configurations it is not difficult to understand.
Maybe for the beguinner will be a curve of learning like in any other device but its no difficult at all

OVERALL OPINION

For the price is a good choice and althought it has not sounds, no styles, no effects, it does have midi and does it well.

I only wish it had be more robust, it is light weight and its Ok for that but keys and usb connection are a bit weak i think, maybe i will have to repair it in a few years.

It have to be treated with care

Other than that i give it a 10 because it makes my dream come true !!!

I wanted a master keyboard and Controller noon with a tight budget. I t sduit by seeing in one block and a 4-octave keyboard more than 10 Controller noon, plus USB connectivity midiou. The price is attractive to many Features and four octaves make it almost usable live.

UTILIZATION

The keyboard even in him, without being exceptional Submitted keys large enough and comfortable, even if they are a bit lgres and Reduces the sensitivity is a range of VLOC s close enough. The connection is of extreme ease and even if the USB cable is a little short, it is recognized by Interacting with XP without drivers, and other OS CD provided is clear and full of utilities .
The controllers are numerous which is a bliss, their use is clear, when handling a knob on the controller numro twelve o'clock and value are displayed on the screen which makes the Use comfortable, the mapping is instinctive and when using software such as self dtection flp or Reason is almost too simple. The manual comes with complter clear picture of all possible commands. Only the MIDI cable is not supplied with standard keyboard. However the quality-General for the hardware, suffering the problem of low prices, is fairly average. The keys are too lgres my taste, and the game is hard to be dynamic, such as the pots have faders look pretty fragile, I use them since January and some are beginning to be less rsistants to the touch. Finally, cache pots and faders are small pieces of ergonomic plaqtique not trs. but do not mprenez, I'm choosy to a hardware Exceeds that in the end what I expected from him.
