5 out of 5 stars M-Audio keyboards   October 14, 2008
I purchased this for my son that is in the "music Industry" program getting his BA. He says this is the best piece of equipment he has worked with in a long time. He just loves it. Amazon was the Best to buy from, price, shipping was super fast, quaility awsome. We are very happy with this purchase


1 out of 5 stars Low quality   April 3, 2008

The keyboard died after 1 year of very very VERY light use. It is my second M-Audio keyboard that let me down. I do not buy keyboards from m-audio anymore. If one needs disposable keyboard, there are cheaper alternatives.


5 out of 5 stars Great! Especially when using it with Apple Garageband!   February 3, 2008
GREAT PRODUCT!!!!!!! I can not say any more. The only downside is it is kind of heavy, but other than that, GREAT! The user manual could be a little easier to use as well.


4 out of 5 stars Good Product for Hobbyist   January 22, 2008
I've had this for about three weeks now and I am very happy with it. I am using it with GarageBand and it works seemlessly with that program. The weighted keys are nice to the touch although they obviously don't feel like a real piano. The drum pads are a nice addition as well. The touch sensitivity works well also and is adjustable according to your style of play.

My only compliant is that it looks like it would take a long time to program the controllers (knobs and presets) on this keyboard to work with the software program you are using. I haven't tried it yet becuase when i read through the manual i immediately thought (well i don't have time to go through all of this right now" It may be me, but I wish this process were easier.

I would say this is a quality product for the price and seems like it has the potential to be used for more advanced settings if you get to that level.



5 out of 5 stars pretty good   December 14, 2007
i am an equipment junkie and i end up owning a lot of keyboards. i have a fatar weighted controller. roland d-50, a roland a-20 that i bought on e-bay. this keyboard is nice to play. i use it for recording on sonar with reason as a soft synth. i am not very skilled using all the controls but it just plays well. i tried a smaller keyboard who can play piano on just 24 keys? i can't. you need some room to move. this keyboard lets you play.
