IKeyboard 4X : Excellent but not quite perfect

I really like this keyboard. It feels well-made and has many good features. I love that it has a profile for REAPER - even though it is not quite complete. I also love that it has 37 full-size keys. There are very few controllers available in this format but it suits a home studio much better than 25 key or mini-key controllers, to my mind.

The downsides are:

- The octave shift doesn't tell you how many octaves you've shifted, just the direction

- At least for Reaper the ribbon controller doesn't control volumes, though it does do pan

- The manual is a bit lacking and out-of -date.

Other than these points the only other thing to note is that the default velocity curve is over-sensitive - everything comes out at high MIDI velocities. I set it to Curve 5, which is much better and as good as my previous controller.

Overall it is really good quality and high functionality for the price, though some may miss a few assignable controllers.
