This is a great keyboard with comfortable keys touch for all sorts of midi production. It has some useful functionalities if you like to edit on the go, but I use it just in its basic form. It looks great and is sold at a very interesting price tag.
A very good keyboard for its price range. Its size and weight make it invaluable for a musician on the go. Its very easy to carry it around and plug it effortlessly in all PCs. The keys are good for this price range and the features are more than enough for the starting musician. A must-buy for the musician with a budget.
I appreciate this keyboard's simplicity and solid key feel. Using it live with a synth module allows me control over volume, pitch bend and a modulation wheel, while not adding needless complexity with extra knobs or sliders when I can access them on the synth itself. It's also easily transportable and well-built, and the DC power option is handy. I'll be buying a second for my other synth module.
This is a great midi controller, it does everything I need, and a good price. With full size keys it is much more convenient to play . Shipping was super fast from Germany, just 3 days.
