I bought the photon to replace my oxygen 8 and Io | 2 as caring people dlest me.
I was looking for something small that allows me to be independent live with a laptop.

CHARACTERISTICS:
the endless knobs 10.
10 illuminated keys.
2 octaves.
3D controller. etc ... Show pubs

UTILIZATION

First of all it is a little larger than the oxygen 8, he returned more done everything in my backpack.: - /
the feel of the keyboard is not bad. Keys much stronger than the Oxygen8!
The 10 illuminated keys are handy and clearly visible in the dark, to use the machine for track mute is handy, big regret: you can not press two keys at the same time! must outwit trs successively pressing them fast! A little bad.
The potentiomtres really seem solid.
We can drag labels in under gouttires controllers. Trs ingnieux and convenient! I used stickers on my Oxygen 8 and I could not change as a. I can just change the config.
Other small dtails are penss! For example the dial lights up more or less depending on its position. TRs practice live in the dark to see just what is its value prs!
For it is the same octaves the + and - lights + or - depending on the position of the octave on the keyboard! we know immediately on what octave it is.
The remote capture 3D controller is not rev high, compared to the Roland D-beam for example. Especially on the vertical axis. A is a controller for a fun trs use if you want something more casual and spontaneous to control the oscilloscope is exellent.
Configuration and installation of the presets is very simple!
In terms of sound quality I have found nothing wrong. He makes his office. I did not test between the stro. Trs low latency! Even with large project! indispensable ableton live on!

OVERALL OPINION

I got 195 euros at Thomann. At this price the adpouille any competition.
For the game against aurant bttn hardware is, as the drivers of origins Suck!
We can not even rgler buffer size and therefore the latency! I strongly advise to use ASIO4ALL drivers that are allowing more config.
I had problems with the South that did not work, I reinstalled my windows that t dja crowded full of drivers etc ... Since it works.
I know a lot of people have had problems installing the hardware. I had an earlier IO2 c'tait like the minimum. Can do better now.
Finally At the installation I am happy with this machine trs!
It is not for the recording and composition, it is not the goal (no full duplex and a single line between Stereo, no prampli ...) but for live cell that's exactly what it takes!
