KeyLab Essential 61 : All hype on cheap Chinese quality keyboard system that doesn't work

The marketing shows this keyboard as something no other midi key can do, and touts of simple connectivity, to DAW and control, studio or live.

But it's all just a fake illusion.

For years this was a dream, and when I received it, it was a nightmare.

Nothing works, except the sound library but that doesn't work in DAW *Cubase Pro and Elements very slow no matter what pc, and it won't control any DAW doesn't even show up in the free Ableton.

It looks beautiful, but thats it, doesn't come with power cable or usb cable, but checking further supposed to have usb cable but it is only 1m long cannot get to your pc easily.

Usb does not control midi in daw you need a separate midi cable and midi interface to get it to work,

Create a new instrument track Massive 2 seconds vst opens, arturia takes over 1 minute to open, on top of line fastest pc.

Also needed an asio interface or it gets latency issues really fast.

I could of got maudio and controlled myself for much less hassle and price, now I look at nektar T6 has after touch, and easy integration with DAWs.

I spent 8 hours first day and another 8 second day trying to get this to work right, it even deleted my cubase license , had to reinstall and then reinstall their vsts.

I can only say I was fooled by slick marketing, only after did i start noticing other negative reviews and problems.
