"Nothing better for the price."

Sound: The key rig software it comes with is great. Capable of a lot of really good sounds. Feature: It is exactly what it claims to be. You have to understand what you need and if this will fill your need. This was a very low cost way to add some quality instrument tracks in my home studio. Ease of Use: Interfaced well. Software installed perfectly. I gave it a nine instead of a ten because the manual could be more informative and a lot clearer. Quality: Again, it is exactly what it says it is. I am not a concert pianist. If I were I wouldn't try to play a concert on this :-) But that is not what it's for, although I could definitely see using for some fill at a gig. I think with a case it would be ok. You have to take care of your equipment. Don't blame the manufacturer if you don't. I have a Martin acoustic guitar I have carried through ice sub zero winters and hot humid summers for ten years. It doesn't have a scratch. Value: If this is what you need, I truly believe there is nothing like it for the price. Manufacturer Support: I have not had to contact them. The Wow Factor: Nothing sexy. It is what it is and does what it claims well. Overall: It will work for me for some time to come.

Style of Music: Everything (and I mean everything).

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Great, space-saving controller."

Feature: Basic controller features - very good for what I needed it for - if you require more knobs/sliders they make different models. Ease of Use: Plugged it into my PCs (Vista and XP) both recognized it instantly, loaded the drivers automatically and I was using it in less than 5 minutes. Easy to switch octaves as yo play as well as sending MIDI volume. Quality: It will be fine if you don't plan on taking out and/or dropping it constantly. Feels a bit cheap but, solid enough for playing and recording at home. Value: I think it could cost a bit less, considering that you can buy its biggest brother (88 keys) for $179.00 online. Overall: Does what it's supposed to do without fuss and issues.

Style of Music: Pop/Rock/Latin/World/Jazz
