For connectivity, it's pretty complete and well explained below.

What motivated my choice, a budget was not huge, but the desire to record in good conditions, and then, why not try my hand at the VST MIDI keyboard, by now I expect it . I took it in hand.
The plastic side of the machine does not shock me, and I bet even strength.

UTILIZATION

Well, except that it never touched the computer music before I was always quite confused.
Fortunately Line6 Monkey software support for all the updates, even if they are long, and do one by one. I was not convinced by the ASIO driver of the machine, so I installed Asio4All I recommend to all. That said, others seem to experiment with any latency with the driver of KB37, so to see ...

I use it on a NetBoot, a copy of the MSI Wind (Advent 4211): 1.66 Ghz, 2GB (I added 1GB), 80GB hard drive, well, it works pretty well. Note that the cons by cpu has trouble when I activate the mode "Dual" of PodFarm, to run two amps in parallel, or when I load level modulations and effects.
As far I can run my sequencer, recording and vst guitar at the same time without latency or cracking.

What about if the keyboard?
I have a beautiful upright piano at home, and of course the next toy is KB37. Well, I want to say, so what? it seems pretty solid, the touch is not bad (I'm far from a purist at the same time), and sometimes the most basic materials last longer than others: for example look at the Emu X-board , winning by Audiofanzine that drop to a year after ...

Oh yes on the other hand, no user manual with, fortunately there is internet. But even there, we would have preferred a manual dedicated to the product rather than the full range of the Toneport Pod ... Some good advice here ( https://fr.line6.com/support/faq.html#20 ) , especially if like me you use a laptop.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week, occasionally it's worth, nine on the other hand I might be taking something else (or not), I'm sure he can be as interesting to take a Toneport UX2 with separate keyboard if you really do not like the hit "plastic". It may even be advantageous for another sound card, but do not forget the sound quality that Line 6 is not for nothing in the reasoning of the purchase;)

Brief for now, at this price (used again), I do not think I found something better, and I would do I think this choice.

And I forgot: it still has a good head ToneportKB37 this;)
