The best 25-key MIDI Controller

This is the first and only small keyboard controller I've found that has the stability and heft necessary for live performance. Other controllers I've tried are light plastic boxes that jiggle around during play with cheap unstable controls that tend to malfunction and reset during performance. The buttons and dials on the Arturia are very stable and a shift key prevents the disasterous consequence an equipment reset due to the performer accidently brushing a knob or slider in the middle of a performance. Though the keyboard is not weighted the Arturia's heavy case makes for a better feel and is much less prone to squirming around on a table or stand during play. If you are tired of cheap plastic boxes then this professional controller is the answer.

Cool little throw back

Nice, I use it with my laptop and Ableton Live 8 for coffee house productions. Very sturdy and the wood give it a classic throw back of the 70's. Software OK some setting sounds could be smoother, but for the price it a no brainer.....

cons
could use auto map updates
