• What characteristics have motivated your choice?
Hit it semi-heavy, as pianist for 10 years this was my first selection criterion,
The 61-keys
-Technology 'HyperControl' that is to say self assignment settings on each instrument,
- Aftertouch,
Compatible with Reason
-The different settings: knobs, faders and pads,
• What connections (MIDI pedals ...)? ...
The output midi in / out, release pedal and power / USB connection.
UTILIZATION
• The touch keyboard is it fun? Should your use?
Yes the touch is very correct, though very slightly plastic. There is a slight effect "stuck" on the keyboard when you press a button that goes away and come back after 10 minutes, said that after a while you do it makes it more consideration. As pianist for 10 years, I especially suited for my use, that is to say about Reason music production mainly.
The aftertouch is sound and the sensation of touching fader and volume pot is correct.
The pads are also very reactive.
• The general configuration is simple?
I have not touched the settings too intrinsic to the keyboard since the technology is there to prevent HyperControl this. The default settings on each instrument (reason 4) suits me and is very easy to change the assignment.
• The selection of MIDI channels, patches is easy?
Again, the configuration is done automatically. So I can not speak on that score, because I myself have never used.
• The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
The English manual is downloaded from the site. I did not read too much.
OVERALL OPINION
• How long do you use?
For two weeks, that's why my opinion is perhaps not the most relevant.
• What thing do you like most/least about it?
The pros: the semi-weighted keys
The 61 keys
HyperControl
The solid aftertouch
Login / USB power
Compatibility Reason
Quality plastic and general quality
The -: Price a little high
Software incomprehensible enigma
Pad power delivered (if not using USB)
Not at all compatible with Windows 7
There is no paper manual, it's better to have a physical rather than read on the pc.
• Did you try many other models before getting this one?
Precisely not. But I had the opportunity to test here and there with other keyboards in stores.
• How do you rate the quality / price?
It is a very good keyboard, but 390 euros is a bit expensive.
• With experience, this choice would you do? ...
Despite heavy use, both to play than to write, I only have two weeks of experience and I probably do it again this election.
