«  I like it! »

Value For Money : Excellent
I was looking for an 88 not too expensive midi notes with a touch intermediary between a synth and a piano, the semi-heavy seemed entirely appropriate. I also wanted to fly VSTi and easily transported, if necessary, said keyboard. Rather light, he did some gigs with no problem.

UTILIZATION

Given the different opinions read here and there, I had some concerns and they have quickly dissipated thereafter. I found what I wanted, it suits me even if the answer key "staccato" requires a particular application ... but I do not do this every day!
Regarding the manual, it is brief, it gives the minimum information, but it's enough.
However, I do not like the system configuration through the keyboard, live, this is not practical, and at home either. And what I miss is the possibility of split the keyboard into zones with different channels.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for almost two years, I always appreciate as much despite the criticisms above. Before buying, I looked at the reviews, forums and not try other keyboards of this type.
The pros: a touch that suits me.
its floor price
lightweight to transport
The -: access to various settings via the keypad
can not split (unless you go through REASON for example)

The price / quality ratio is very correct.
If I were to buy a MIDI keyboard today, I think I will turn to models with faders and pots, more expensive, certainly, but ultimately more practical for my use has also evolved.
