Value For Money :
Excellent
I went to the scene at 49 keys, to no longer waste time octave changes, and I also wanted to be able to easily control the settings for my Virus Snow (after selling my Virus C, I missed a few knobs).
Usual features (USB / MIDI / footswitch) for a master keyboard.
He has also taken place in my home studio using the Direct Link.
UTILIZATION
I like the touch, much nicer than the Oxygen series for example.
To play synths, this is perfect (aftertouch knobs nice, etc ...).
This is for sure a classical pianist or jazz, it is better to enter into a real heavy touch.
Very simple to use, who has some basic MIDI.
In 10 minutes, I set all the knobs and faders to control the settings I wanted my Virus Snow. Split by area is very simple, the ability to assign buttons for program change also changes ...
Anyway, good MIDI implementation, easy to remember and logical enough.
I also discovered the Direct Link Cubase 7, super convenient and made me take this keyboard in front of my screen. It opens the VST one click, all the knobs are assigned either by instrument or for console mix. In short, a great control surface plus a keyboard stage.
And I put my BCF2000 in closet elsewhere ... (Too bad for the motorized faders).
OVERALL OPINION
I month and I am very satisfied!
I have an Oxygen 8V2 of the same brand (a toy side), Evolution MK-149 (which has aged very badly), and others that I have not to this day, I have forgotten names and some synth keyboard (Korg R3, etc ...) and a Technics digital piano.
In short, this is the best keyboard I had Master's hands.
For 215 euros, I say bravo (compared to direct competitor in Akai example, MK49, I tested a few days).
The +:
Ease MIDI assignments
Direct Link
The 8 pads of good quality
Touch the knobs and I find it very enjoyable
Aesthetics
The -:
Knobs a little cheap (at least not super nice) and infinite
Faders a little too basic
