Pros:

- Nice feeling keybed

- Nice and compact design

- Fits well in studio table or home studio set up

- Feels durable

Cons:

- Keybed is almost too heavy, definitely on a heavy side

- Confusing user manual that does not explain anything

- Pads are not really useful as pads (not sensitive, too hard)

- No real modulation wheel (pitch/mod stick is fine though)

- Apart from 8 knobs and a pitch/mod stick, no useful functionality
