I BOUGHT one!

It's a controller, it makes no sounds

Style of Music: Hip Hop

Musical Experience: Hip Hop Producer

Feature:
Great, sliders respond very well and knobs are very gradual and great for slight panning tweaks when setting the drum stereo stage... Pads seem good but havent really used them yet as to difficulties setting up (my software not korgs fault)

Quality:
Build quality is beautiful with a great polished metal finish... would be nice if sliders/knobs were metal as well but, im not complaining... keyboard is much nicer than other midi controller's i have used, more responsive and less effort required...

Value:
More expensive than other midi controllers that i have owned but undisputedly better quality and with more features...

Desirability:
OOooh very beautiful looking controller, not tacky at all like oxygen/edirol ones... and has all the bells and whistles to go with it.

Support:
Emailed Korg about a software problem i am having no reply yet....

Overall:
Major drawback is the lack of pre XP windows support... the XP drivers seem to work in Win2KP ok but with some problems. apart from that keyboard is great - I love it!!!g
