«  the filth »

I wanted to drive my Keytard Micron. There are not really on the market.
There are USB, MIDI or USB powered or DC battery pack.
Some options like aftertouch omni, an acceleration sensor (Who not really work). 3 knobs and some pads (sensitive omni: 2 groups of 4).
A braid that hurts.
There is no other option without Bluetooth or son ... OK in 2013 even the bowl of my dog ​​bluetooth. This is ridiculous. It just cost me 2 Midi cables because the cables are not protected.

UTILIZATION

I put the foam to absorb noise of keys and to add comfort. The configuration of the controls is a stark complexity. (Just to tell you that I am an electrical engineer and I currently designing a midi / analog interface, so if it's complicated for me ...)
The case cracked.
The manual (in French) is not clear. I managed to painfully deciphered.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few months, I had some controllers noon. Korg K61 is my favorite, I dislocated my E-MU XBoard 49 for pot.
I am currently creating a bluetooth interface for my Vortex (no choice if I want one)
It's too expensive for a full box of junk that does not work very well.
Time I could not finish my edits, this keyboard will continue to disappoint me.
