For someone used to midi controllers and vsts, the software included and all its integration is a fantastic value for its price! I believe arturia still has to work some issues regarding the mappings to use with additional software, but the build quality is awesome, it doesnt feel too light neither cumbersome, and the wood finish gives it a fantastic touch. I personally recomend it for people who are starting in electronic music, but for musicians I believe its better suited a 49 keyboard.
This is a great product and real value for money. The wood finish is awesome and it integrates flawlessly with other DAWs and software, and this without even setting anything in the software itself. The sound pack included is awesome and the tweaking of all sounds is endless. Very happy. And great for a non keyboard player such as myself
Although it looks very simple when comparing to some other synths, the software that comes with it is a bit complex. The keyboard itself works well, has a lot of features and the workmanship is the best part (the metal was softly treated and the wood parts fit very well). The arturia software (that comes with it) has a lot of different instruments, but dont expect to get the most popular leads, pads and bass used in EDM. Most of these virtual instruments are classic.
-This keyboard has to be mapped in your DAW by you (fadders, knobs and transport buttons). Only the keys and the pitch knob are already mapped.
