As I said, with 529-page manual, I expect I will be happy and be studying it for years !
Sound
M-Audio Sono 61 key is great in term of sound. Why ? Because it just has the output port for you to connect to your own external speakers or amplifier. It does not have internal speaker, usually of poor quality to bring down the unit cost. So for serious users, this is great.
Features
I like it because it does not have trivial features for beginners. If you are a serious musician-to-be, it serves you right.
Ease of Use
However, it is not easy to use, particularly if you want to use it with the bundled software Live 7.x. The manual is 529-page thick, just look at that. But if you are serious with music, you should thank them for that. Also be aware that the software goes by itself cost about $250, now you get it free with $360 for the keyboard. What a deal !
Quality
However, to be honest, I am not quite happy with its weighted keys. When I play the regular upright acoustic piano, I do feel a little bit disappointed.
Value
For $360, it's really worth it.
Manufacturer Support
M-Audio give me a one-time consultation free, that's good.
