Best value:
Excellent
Having a keyboard controller and being dropped me at work I had to run in to leave shop within minutes with a new keyboard.
I had gone on a 49 but no luck, in an intermediate category in terms of quality, it was only the Oxygen 61. So it is with the keyboard under the arm I went back to finish my registration.
Simple installation (Pro Tools + Logic), connect the USB device and designate it as it rolls in and ProTools.
UTILIZATION
Not really heavy touch, if you are looking for a piano touch, go your way.
Velocity classic, nothing more nor less, + / - 3 octaves, some assignable faders (not very accurate compared to a controller such as the Mackie MCU Pro, for example), so no use to me.
Transport panel which can be handy when you do not have a controller and finally a pitch bend wheel that is more classic.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 2 years now, I've made it helped me out and now provides well for compos studio. I recommend if budget or first steps in the home studio so if you are pressed ultra due to failure of another keypad (like me).
I tried dozens of other keyboards before this, I had much worse and for the same price.
It is fairly robust, but touching piano may miss at times ...
In short, a very good quality / price ratio I recommend this purchase for a home studio, the characteristics become insufficient for further use or for use in intensive studio.
