Happy with the purchase because I knew what I was buying but be warned. if you're starting out, the supplied software isn't the easiest to get going and the level of support isn't great. From "out of the box" just to quickly prove everything was OK it took three computers before I could get any sounds and even then the latency was awful. As a MIDI controller it works fine and is a good entry level EWI which can be used for gigging but you need to have sorted out your DAW or live box.
