Decent amount of features here. If your keys happen to stick you can hit the reset button. The keys are not waited and feel very cheap and plasticlike. Which may require some getting used to. I honestly cannot stand the feel of it. Maybe others won't mind.

Price paid

$75 USD

UTILIZATION

Easy to use Not so easy to set up. The manually actually suggests installing the drivers up to 3 times. That doesn't sound so good at all. Well, installing was kind of a pain. But after that everything's pretty easy to use.

I feel failure of some kind is eminent although I haven't yet had any problems after 2 MONTHS of use. The knobs feel solid for the most part. Everything else about it just feels soo cheap and plastic like. Due to the cheap plastic feal I would have a real hard time trying to tell someone that this is a high quality board.

OVERALL OPINION

Well, it gets the job done. If you're going for simplicity and just something basic I would recommend. For a new use I would highly recommend this. But after getting a feel for some of the other higher quality midi keyboards out there you're not going to have enough love to go back to this.
