Absolutely amazing. It cuts your beat making process in half after you get comfortable with playing it.

Love this keyboard! Haven’t used it a whole lot but very easy to navigate. Comes with some software installs and demos. I didn’t like how hard you have to press the Beat Pad (16 RGB Backlight Keys) to get the sound. I expected a more sensitive touch. Works with minimal setup in Logic Pro X and Controller Assignments are extremely easy!

got this to use with FL20 setting it up was easy, once it was done I couldn’t be happier with it.

I bought this for my 20 year old son to practice on for his church band, Amazing, it worth more than its price.

Cool layout – I like having the drum pad close at hand and the pitch bend and mod wheel further up (because it isn’t the 1980s and no one pitch bends, I hate that thing). The controls all have a nice quality feel, particularly the mod wheel (that’s OK to have) and the plastic build of the board seems OK for the price point. It has 8 good, soft rubber feet spread across the bottom, nice for desktop use for for placing on top of a grand piano.

Great MIDI controller. The keybed is excellent with very good touch, weight and size. Will be getting another one. I prefer the white version because the keys are labeled with the extra functions where the black version, the labels are missing.
If they make this controller in a 76 keys or 88 keys version, I will buy them for sure!!!
