4.5 out of 5 (15 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
"Great product abandoned by its creators."
Sound: This is a really neat and unique product (I have two of the controllers, to set up a sound library on two workstations) but its developer (Native Instruments) just discontinued it to focus on more me-too products like beat-making. Poor business decision. Horrible execution in regards to hoe they've treated their users in this situation. Feature: I wish it weren't discontinued. Ease of Use: Maybe complex at first glance but it's actually quite logical. Quality: The first controller was less than perfect with the buttons being a bit mushy but I read that this new version was just fine (I wish I had one). Value: this is truly a unique product with no parallel in the market. a foolish move by NI to discontinue it. Manufacturer Support: Check out the forums... I've read that phone support is good but email support is horrible. I've never contacted support. The Wow Factor: It's a pretty slick device but I hear that the newer controller (version 2) is an improvement over my original version, so I guess it's more sexy in the version on sale here. Overall: I hate that it was discontinued and the way in which the developers handled the discontinuation.

"Discontinued by Native Instruments"
Overall: Native Instruments suddenly discontinued this software/hardware system. Future NI software will not be integrated with this product. Therefore making it virtually useless.
