"Sexy looking, adequate for the job at hand, great size and shape and I can live with the pitch bend being a level button and not"
I'd replace it for a little more than I paid for it but I got mine for 40% of the retails price
Sound
I haven't used it for more than a couple of hours yet so I'll give it a 9/10. this is my first Midi controller although I used a W30 previously in another studio, so i won't elaborate due to little experience but as a first controller for the price for anyone who wants to buy it I'd say go ahead, especially if you can get it cheaper.
Features
No accessories but the power thru the USB is useful and cuts down on too many leads a working studio tends to gather up.
Ease of Use
The keys have an adequate finger response much better than some others I tried out. I put 8/10 - 6 being the minimum i would expect from other keyboards and 10/10 being a real piano.
Quality
8/10 because it's made from plastics. It has a real sturdy feel to it. I'd have it in a case for touring just to be sure. i have no idea about the parts inside as i won't open it up but I feel I can certainly trust it. I hope it never breaks down.
Value
It could be sold for less.

"Does exactly what it is advertised to do and does it very very well."
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
you must understand that this product does everything advertised.
yes, the keys arent weighted or full stroke, but that's why its very portable (this is the way it was made; meant for). but its also very fun to play with and you get used to the key strokes and such.
please review a product understanding the end market for such an item.
for instance, dont bash a model because it is lacking in features that a more expensive item possesses, etc...
Sound

N/A
Features
I wish the modulation and the pitch bend were actually a wheel rather than the weird pressure button it is. It's hard to make exact modulation/pitch bend changes. Also, why does it not come with an AC adapter?!
Other than that, every thing works really well.
Ease of Use
Just plug it in and use it, pretty simple.
Quality
Very sturdy and also pretty light. Very thin as well.
Value
At the current super discounted price, its a very good value.
Manufacturer Support
Never needed any support.
The Wow Factor
It looks a whole lot better than the Oxygen...as in, it doesn't look like a toy. The silver colors make it look kindof sleek.

"buy this nothing else"
Sound
sound quality for is excellent, plays like a full size piano, very handy if you just want to pick up and play. great to carry to school or just sit down on your couch and play with it on your lap. it really doesn't need any other equipment, though head phones are nice, so the key board is less distracting to others.
Features
head phones are great for it
The Wow Factor
it is fun to look at
