The technical features that have motivated my choice are mainly the "real" pitch bend and modulation, but also the number of knobs (3 levels of 10 knobs, personally seen anywhere else). The infrared dome "Axyz" to control three parameters, is anything but fun but handy! Access to 10 buttons is quite useful. The keyboard contains as its name suggests 25 keys, a display (LCD) and a two-line integrated sound card (24bit/48kHz) with a headphone output, stereo output (jack), a stereo input jack (also) an input for sustain pedal and one for an expression pedal input and MIDI output and input power (optional). Note that you can connect the USB keyboard in MIDI RATHER ^ t, which also allows self-supply.

I put 5 / 10 because the connection is quite limited (to work properly would be nice XLR inputs and outputs in a few more).

UTILIZATION

The touch keyboard is quite nice (relatively: understand "everything is relative"). That is to say that the keys are not too small (2cm to 1cm for white and black), the springs under the keys are not too "soft" (that is not a keyboard buttons or semi-heavy heavy! Great pianists look elsewhere!). But it is perfect for my use of an amateur musician, assisted by a computer. The general configuration is very simple (no need for CDs on the Mac, only it turns tot). MIDI channel selection is easy but takes time. The manual is a bit light on details and problems that may arise.

OVERALL OPINION

I use the keyboard for a month now (but I do not use the onboard sound card, I have the best stuff on that side). What I like most is the many knobs on the front. What I like least are the recurring problems and the fragility of the machine. I had tried that a few models before buying it, are mainly attracted by the knobs more than elsewhere. I find the very poor value for money machine is very expensive but also very fragile and do not work very well. With the experience I would do not have that choice because of the poor quality of the product.
