Feature:
It doesn't include a whole lot and doesn't have as many sliders, knobs and any pads like the Axiom does, but it is functional enough for my needs. Drums can be played using keys just fine! It doesn't get a 10 because a lack of those Axiom features and weighted keys, but really, I'm just being picky and am perfectly satisfied. One gripe is that it didn't come with an AC adapter, only a USB cord.

Quality:
Made from plastic but feels really good. The velocity sensitivity is very nice as well!

Value:
Can't beat the value, it's awesome!

Desirability:
I definitely love the way it looks and sounds.

Sound:
The built-in sounds are great, since I primarily use them for practicing piano. All of them sound pretty good, especially Piano 4 with the reverb turned up x2.

Ease of Use:
Very simple and easy to use, especially with my Macbook and using Garagband.

Support:
Haven't had to use them but they are a big brand, so I'd assume it'd be great.

Overall:
This is an incredible midi keyboard and the built-in sounds are great out of the box. It works perfectly for my dorm, where I produce beats yet still allows me to practice piano without my computer on or at a gig. The sound is definitely good enough to gig with!

Feature:
Accessories include the PC drivers and the M1le software emulation. Anyway the most useful feature of this keyboard is the weight (3kg), you can carry it wherever you want wthout any efforts.

Value:
I have not found other keyboards with the same characteristics and price (master keyboard with usable sounds below 300 euros).

Desirability:
It looks very simple but it is nice.

Sound:
I think you can use it as a digital piano replacement during rehearsals (it is exactly what I'm doing). I also own a Yamaha P-90 and a Korg M1, the sounds comparison is the following: Piano sounds are better than M1 pianos but obvioulsy worse than P90's. I think you could also use piano sounds during live performances and probably most of the people (not musicians) would not notice the difference with a digital piano. Organ and strings sounds are ok, they are at least at the same quality levels of the two other keyboards. I rarely use the other sounds.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use, anyway you always need the manual pages to remember the hidden functions (transpose, tuning, etc.).

Overall:
Good sounds for this price, very little weight.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
For what I need it is perfect. I don't really use much of the features since I modify everything in Kontakt. But it gets a ten for satisfying what I use it for.

Quality:
I don't use it for giging, it just sits in my room. The quality is exactly what I was looking for. The keys were most important. Some other contrllers, even more expensive ones (M-Audio stuff) had serious key problems. You get consistancy with this board.

Value:
This controller was a bargain. I had a Axiom 49 before that had more features and was more expensive but the keys sucked on it. This one is much better, and a buck fifty cheaper.

Desirability:
I am not ususlly sold on sexy. If I know what a controller can do I find it sexy. I usess I see the beauty on the inside, not outside lol.

Sound:
It's a midi controller so sound does not come out of it. I use it to control sounds I have in Kontakt. It works perfect for that. There is no delay and the keys never falter. I always get a clear sound when using it.

Ease of Use:
Easy to use. Easy set up. Even the features I don't use are simple. It comes with a good catalog too in case you get stuck.

Support:
Haven't had to call them so they get a 10.

Overall:
This board is great if you are using it to record samples. FYI, it works great with Kontakt 3.
