Sound
It doesn't have any sounds built in, it's a MIDI controller. You need a PC/Mac or external sound device to use it with.
Features
All I wanted was keys, has on board octave buttons and a master slider. That's enough for me. Feels very solid, no complaints about the build quality.
Ease of Use
Simply plug and play.
Quality
Excellent for the price. It's not as smooth and comfortable as the keybeds found on more expensive controllers and keyboards / synths. But it's 100% playable and the 61 keys are a huge step up for me. This is an excellent item for anyone that's interested in moving up from the average 25 / 49 key controllers and synths out there.
Value
Excellent cost to function value.
Manufacturer Support
Not needed.
The Wow Factor
A black one would have been nice, but I don't tend to buy things based on looks but rather functionality. This does what I need.
