It is the ratio of touch quality / price attracted me. I'm talking about the report, if your used to the grand piano of your Voison you will find touching trs bad ... on the other hand, if you could test dja few keyboards in this price range you will find trs really good touch.

I think it is important to emphasize that we must sit down and play to evaluate the touch, not a vague press a few keys standing looking at the walls ... The Keystation 61es is a touch harder than the other keyboards and this is very apprciable.

Personal I bought it to play on a PC, and there's the USB port that feeds provided. The rest (midi output, power sector) I do not use. There's also an input for sustain pedals, always nice acqrir by APRS (about 30).

UTILIZATION

The feel is really between a keyboard of his price range and a keyboard range suprieure or better. It really starts to feel to have something under your fingers.

Speaking of buttons, I want to say that they are not aligned nickel, so sit in front of the keyboard or on the range top of a cabinet can be seen and it has less beautiful than a real piano, or the keys are perfectly aligned, in harmony ... By no means against Adrangi qd to play I say is not aligned to 1 / 2 millimtre prt.

Installation is simple in XP that contains dja good drivers, and although the gre usb Manir gnrale. Against by certain features of the keyboard are not intuitive. For example, to change the sound from the keyboard, you must press advanced and then an F #, and then + / -. A force we know by heart but without instructions c not found.

The manual is clear enough but I like devices where you can do without it looking a little

OVERALL OPINION

I am using this keyboard since June 2005.

To be complete I think I have to say that the first I had a manufacturing defect, I had more dynamic touch of a button after 4 months, in fact it was who it was from a rubber chir and magnet keep still (the principle of operation of the keyboard is the m than a joypad or a remote, unless you have two keys that magnets do not touch the printed circuit in m time when pressed, making it possible to assess typing speed and yes indeed bte c all ...)

Instead of providing a rubber spare my store, M-Audio has done an exchange prfr standard (20 for shipping my store took over). I rest when even one month and a half without a keyboard ... That's why I put that 6 because of after sales service that allows M-Audio DSIR.

I put 9 or 10 m if not, as the keyboard is good, the feel is good (for 180), the keyboard still has the same if we can geule Chipotte on the alignment of key ...

Brief 5 octaves, 2 wheels mumuse to distort the sound (c not my thing but sometimes funny c 5 minutes on same!), I recommend this keyboard to anyone who wants to get into the world of music to learn to play or call (There's really three tons of stuff to do with all software that exist, and there are virtual instruments trs really good (The Grand ,...), but do not want invest too much initially to test their motivation.

This is an excellent first keyboard.
