Advantage Weight!
It takes up space but need to know what you want (c 1m34 not nothing anyway!)

The connection is perfect, a USB (hop is supplied)
I said that it can be fed via a transformer but not m-audio foun us that his device is low power, it does not seem useful to put a

There is also a MIDI port (or plug expander for I guess ...) but I only use the USB to control Reason

UTILIZATION

To touch, I'm not a pianist but I had this one before an Edirol PCR 30 and although he was very much there's nothing comparable
I have here a full keyboard with keys that seems very nice
So I use it for piano sounds (yes ...) and especially for the violin / fx / bass finally everything I do not normally play

No driver to install xp, Reason in forced recognition (it has not in its list and does not detect it automatically, you have to press a button after selecting the mark; nothing too serious)

Level controllers, very simple,
- A volume fader almost always recognized my modules and automatically assigned
- Pitch
- Mod
- Octave + / -
- Advanced controls (I do not know what this one was used)

I read that part of the manual install ("no driver") and then I closed it seems to me sufficient

OVERALL OPINION

I received today, ordered from Thomann for 229 euros, very, very best online shop and perfect on time, delivery and especially the packing list (third order with them)

I bought a fact to learn the piano so I particularly liked the price and the opportunity to play with two hands

Quality / price ratio perfect for me is an advantage to have a control pad that without sound, will choose its intrusion Fx and more realistic over time

I did that for now but I am fully satisfied

It should be noted that he has the pace and showed rare restraint in the category of controllers ... a testing stage to see its strength but I think all insurance

Buy! And in www.thomann.de (it rhymes!)
