Value For Money :
Excellent
This keyboard is perfect for my use: Use any computer, including phone, without needing to install any drivers, so Linux compatibility ...
Furthermore, it has a keyboard to play virtually any size with a very acceptable and very little cost ... I am using only the USB connector, which has the good taste to power the keyboard, and I have not bought sustain pedal (not very useful for the use I have).
UTILIZATION
Touch is a good compromise. For reasons of weight, price, etc.. It is very difficult to replicate the feel of a real piano (especially all the pianos have not, and far from it, the same touch), or even that of a mid-range digital piano. This keyboard can also play the organ (I did not experience a good keyboard organ), synthesizer, various virtual instruments ... What counts in this range is that the keyboard sends a good feedback, it allows a fast game and comfortable, and it is. The dynamic control is a bit poor, however.
If one has taken the time to read the manual, the general pattern is evident, especially since it is not necessary to install any driver (except for archaic OS).
The main drawback comes from the label above the keys that can not easily remember some functions, and forces them to keep the manual (very suitable) at your fingertips. Of course we can put ourselves labels according to what is used, but it's a shame!
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for four months. I like the ease of use: you plug, you play. MIDI key controls are well placed. The labeling of the keys is to review, and it would take some additional LED control, but these flaws are minor.
I dabbled with other keyboards before buying (I dismissed the Keystation 49, more compact, the keyboard is synth-type), but the best touches are much more expensive and too cumbersome. Anyway, I did not expect to compete with the touch of a digital piano, I have also ...
The features of this keyboard give it an excellent quality / price, and I would do without hesitation that choice.
