Great quality hardware, (blows my older Roland controller out of the water). Knobs, buttons and sliders feel solid and precise. Keys are high quality, with a nice feel, although the black keys make a tiny squeak when released. Just the feel of the keys is musically inspiring to me.The VIP software is wonderful, although I had to "blacklist" some of my poorly programmed VSTs (I can still use them directly from my DAW). The included Xpand!2 VST with hundreds of top quality, usable sounds (my new favorite VST) more than makes up for that loss.The patch-librarian aspect of VIP is amazing! To have thousands of sounds from dozens of VSTs sorted by instrument, timbre, etc. is a Godsend.Getting the faders and transport controls to work in Reaper was a complete mystery, due to the complete lack of documentation on this from M-Audio. I finally found step-by-step instructions on an Akai Advance support forum: https://getsatisfaction (DOT) com/akai_professional/topics/akai-advance-61-transport-and-reaper.. Works well now!One Multi setup with 8 patches from multiple VSTs can get me through an entire set. I can mix, blend and mute the loaded patches as needed right from the keyboard, (one of the reasons I chose this over the Akai Advance 61 was the CTRL 49's bank of 9 faders that the Akai lacks).There is so much more to this keyboard/software combination to discover. If as they say, learning keeps you you young, the CTRL49 may be the fountain of youth, LOL...I would recommend this keyboard read more to only my more tech-savvy friends, not the ones that need help setting up a delay pedal, due to the learning curve. I am pretty sure these are no longer in production due to the support nightmare they caused inMusic Brands.The more powerful and flexible a product is the more complex it becomes and the less likely you will be to satisfy the average user. Power users rejoice! The hardware/software combo of your dreams is now discounted very heavily, from 699.00 list down to under 300.
