Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I had previously used my Yamaha P35 electric keyboard to connect with PreSonus Studio One 3. It had not released the notes like expected. As soon as I hooked this up to my system, which now also has Ableton Live 9 Intro, I had no contradictions with the attack and release that I had expected with my music. The modulation wheel allows me to shape the sound if needed so it's just right.
