Impulse 61 : Good for a home studio

- the building quality is not the best. You have to protect very well the unit if you travel a lot with it but for studio purposes it' more than fine.

- If you play piano this keyboard is not the best but if you want to play decent different instruments it's OK.

- Decent quality of the keys and all the buttons except faders who seem to be not very sensitive (for fine mixing adjustments wouldn't be the best).

- Automap is the software which you have to install in order to control the unit in a DAW and it duplicate all you plugins - it's a little bit annoying.

- having transport buttons and the possibility to add an expression pedal is a plus

Overall is a good choice for a beginner home studio.
