Good product, knobs might be overkill

I've been using this for 2 years now with no problems. Nice keybed. The software it comes with is a little clunky but is usable. There's 48 buttons and 16 knobs on it only labeled with a number, and for me, this is overkill and not particularly useful. Also I could never set up the pads to light up when their equivalent midi note was triggered (they light up on pressing, but not on playback.) Overall great product.

A value for the money keyboard

I bought this because i read a lot of good reviews for it's price. I haven't played a lot, but in the 2 weeks i've played everything seems to be fine. Keys feel great, especially the pads.

The only problem i found was that one key started doing a

squeak noise but i am ok with that.

Fantastic home studio keyboard

I bought this keyboard as I needed a midi controller with semi weighted keys for my home studio. This keyboard has plenty of features such as semi weighted keys, pads and plenty of knobs that could be assigned in your daw.

I upgraded to this keyboard from a very old model of a alesis keyboard with no weighted keys, I can confidently say this is a big step up considering the small price difference. Although considering the relatively small price it is not perfect. some keys and pads feel a little bit on the stiff side but considering other keyboards at this cost tend to have very flimsy "toyish' keys I would prefer this keyboard for its slight faults any day as its a good cross between a keyboard and a weighted piano feel.

If your looking for a semi weighted keyboard at this price range for your home studio with plenty of bells and whistles then I highly recommend !
