    CME UF8Published on 06/02/06 at 21:11
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    Just one thing to say: o is the input to a switch pedals? Lamentable! It is a basic function of any claviriste scne uses. He will remain in my studio: no choice!

    UTILIZATION

    Trs good use may be fluid but the keys that are unstable.

    OVERALL OPINION

    My opinion is that this keyboard is very well in gnral: look fabulous, practice. etc.. but lacks essential things: switch, stability of keys, etc..

    Connection is very simple:
    1. USB or MIDI
    2. pedal connected by jack (small signal inversion problem but it is quickly resolved)

    why this choice:
    1. touch (better than others but not the ultimate either)
    2. functions noon (complete)
    3. the price (really cheap)

    I have found bitterly (last update from January 2006!) And then learn that CME did not intend to update the drivers for the series of UF 5/6/7/8

    I put a note "4" because the problem susmentnionné. I could have put "0" since this keyboard will probably become useless and obsolete, more or less soon

    UTILIZATION

    Touch is very nice (because my purchase!)

    general configuration is not too easy but ultimately it's going. You should download the "new" drivers (January 2006) on the CME site and the template to set up immediately the functions of knobs and faders (for cubase in my case)

    I do not use in the studio (too heavy for travel for which I preferred an M-Audio Keystation 88 es-touch semi-weighted). Because of this I change all the channel selections for MIDI and patches in cubase.

    I put "6" in the hope that the rest will continue to function correctly through noon (since the usb totally kidding)

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 2 years

    I like the feel
    I do not like very bad crash and operation via USB

    I tested the M-Audio (weighted keyboard) that I was touching it too much "bouncing"

    I tried other keyboards (R & D, Yamaha ...) but a touch more expensive for not phenomenally different

    very good and very bad quality / price ratio. Why have a keyboard very good if everything related to computers securely kidding

    I do not buy back more this keyboard (unless new drivers would appear). I do also redeem anything of that mark if monitoring is as bad. I do not mean distributors that are very accessible and understanding.
    If the policy of CME is to not worry about his "old" products, it is not binding for other purchases. After 2 years the product is no longer follow! I could understand after 10 years ...

    I suggested to the dealer "France" to offer CME to continue to develop new drivers for UF5/6/7/8 and then make payment availables as do a lot of marks or plugins prg. .. Everyone navigate.

    I put "5" since this keyboard have me served for 2 years
