zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Well worth the money."

Sound: As it's not a sound module, this question isn't really relevant. However, the keyboard does control sounds, and to me seems quite responsive in terms of velocity and after touch. Feature: The fundamental feature - the keyboard - works well indeed, and feels better (stiffer, springier) than I expected in this price range. I've only just begun using the knobs as controllers for virtual instruments, but it works quite well for that. The only extra that I might have wished for would have been some pads to use as drum controllers. I am a bit disappointed in the bundled Proteus X LE software, which I have not been able to get working. However, I didn't buy the XBoard for the software, so this is a minor issue. Ease of Use: Hook it up and go. Configuring the controller knobs can be a touch complex. Quality: For the price, it seems a very solid unit. Manufacturer Support: I have not needed support, so I can't answer that question.

Style of Music: Folk & Electronic

"GRRRRREEAT I recommend everyone to Buy this"

Sound: Its a midi controller with no sounds although it comes with the Proetus X LE desktop module...but im sure if it had sounds they would be hot Feature: I cant even use all these features on this product, and looking at the manual they all come in handy, the more I use it the more I find out. Quality: This thing is built wonderful, the keys are like so professional, the knobs are solid as a rock the only flimsy things on it are the buttons, but I treat all of my belonging with TLC, so none of them are gonna ever break with me. Value: This product is worth every penny I spent on it and it makes producing fun and easier than ever. Manufacturer Support: I emailed them regarding Proteus X LE drivers and how it doesnt work with my software and they confirmed that they recieved my email but I'll say they need to speed up the process. The Wow Factor: It looks great, thats what first caught my eye, its better than that oxygen 8 because it comes wit hmore and it's just built way better in my opinion. Overall: Even though the Proetus X LE sounds let me down because the VST isnt working with my sequencing software, I cant hold that against the midi controller itself, this controller is top of the line.

Style of Music: HIphop,R&B,Rap
