Value For Money : Excellent
I needed a low-end keyboard to ask a few chords without going through the endless piano rolls, and that can also serve as dclencheur for one-shots, samples, loops and some that I like to add live . So I sought the best price plutt ...

Power supply not included, in fact, but useless for use in USB (it is powered directly by the bus). Standard MIDI connector pins a little borked (After a few hours of testing on a CD). Totally against reliably via USB.

Taking non PDAL uses.

It is average for its price but you can not ask for much I think. But only feature uses PC, so.

UTILIZATION

Touching limits ... Not enjoyable, but the buttons do not seem too feeble either, was going. I do not use custom settings for normment VLOC I can not talk about it. It serves me well.

Configuration and trouble-free child. Under XP it's plug and play, no driver install. Sometimes ncessaire the dye and then back at change of soft.

Select features, patches, canals, difficult, as only a function button in addition to wheels and notes (ie 2nd function button + white keys Dfine ...). Once a mmoriss shortcuts is better, but still quite annoying.

Manuel left for his painting unnecessary shortcuts, clear.

OVERALL OPINION

Two months of current use, but not intense.

The wheel is nice, I always have a finger on it. on the other hand j'vite to change the settings too often, really making head Systm as shortcuts.

This is my first keyboard matre. I tried a 61 are 49 before ordering: never considered moving the range above.

The quality-price ratio is excellent.

With the exprience I opt for a Controller noon with faders and knobs, and fewer keys. I do not make use of a pianist, so ...
