Cute little two-in-one tool!

Cute little synth. Recording samples from it and using it as a midi-controller when my primary one is defected.

A surprise but a welcome one at that

The sounds are actually good for the price. Very efficient tool

Good enough to play around with

I bought this to mess about with. Cheap and concise. the synth lead sound can work well in context of almost ANY dance track! The only thing I would have liked more is if it had a 1/4 inch jack output rather than a 1/8th output... other than that. I'd happily have a go at recording music with this keyboard! Just for fun!

excellent keybord for my son

I bought it as the first keybord for my 5 y.o. son

he love it, fits perfectly his fingers, the sound is good and child engaging

the sensitive keys are not very stable - sometimes he needs to hit them harder to play them. Without this function everythoing is perfect (maybe he is still too young for that, we'll see in the future)

Solid keyboard that does what is expected

I needed a keyboard that was small, easy to grab, with decent sounds. Just something for testing out ideas so to say. They keyboard is well built, the keys feel good and distinct and the dynamic feels as natural as can be on a small. non-weighed, keyboard. It has many more features than I need so I will not comment on them.

I guess I could give it 5 stars, but I don't think this was ever intended to be a 5 star instrument, not for that price, so I give it 4.

In a sentence: Money well spent!

for my baby

Bought this for my baby (and for me to plinker with some times). He is still to small but I hope one day he will like it. I chose this one because its a good brand and also the only in its priceclass with touch sensitive keys.. Thats a big + !! So far I like it, hope it will keep working for a long time..

great value and cool features for this price range

I bought two of these because one of the kids stuck something into the USB port and MIDI stopped working (charging and power still works).

Love it so much, that I did not hesitate to get another one since repair costs exceed the value of a new unit.

Simply a winner in this price range if you want velocity keys and MIDI controller option.

PRO: velocity keys, phrase record/loop, compact, USB charged and MIDI support via USB

CON: slight noise when using headphones, mono speaker, could use more info on the left side of the keyboard

The best midi keyboard with its own sound

Best choice if you are looking for a midi keyboard with small keys. It is ahead of all competitors in terms of price and quality. The big plus is that there is a speaker, own sounds, an arpeggiator, the ability to work and sketch out arrangements directly on the synthesizer. Best buy for the money.
