Reviews

Real nice budget midi keyboard
This keyboard is perfect for the space I have in my studio. The keys feel nice and the features to the left of the keys are definitely handy and fun to play with. The pitch bender is nice and tight and the keys feel good enough for me. They're not too loose and they're not too tight. I like this keyboard more than the Akai MPK49. Of course those are two totally different types of keyboards. I'm more referring to the way the keys feel as well as the pitch bender. I'm happy that I own a keyboard.
Fabulous Keyboard for the Road
Bought this to pack in my suitcase and fly to shows. I use it to connect to my iPad for string pads, etc. Flawless. I have a full sound that I can travel with. You won't be sorry!

Excellent small controller!!
I bought this so I would be able to take a keyboard with me on a vacation, rehearse with my wife who is a singer and to get ready for an upcoming recording session. I'm using it with an iOS Ravenscroft 275 piano app and quite frankly,married to the app, it's pretty amazing. Not the perfect keyboard for piano of course but by far the best plastic waterfall type keys I've ever played with a piano sound. The size doesn't seem to present many problems and I have large hands. Very easy to play and very expressive with good velocity sensitivity. Could easily do a gig with it in a pinch. Very well made and I am happy with it. Plus I had a bag that it fit and I brought it as jet flight carry on with no problems. It works really well with the iOS app. Just be careful plugging and unplugging the usb cable…it seems tight and might break if you are rough with it.
Korg controller
The keyboard is great for entering music into Finale. The smaller size allows it to fit nicely on my desk.
Nice Small/Portable Keyboard
I got this keyboard for it's size mostly. I was weary of the keys, but the playability is actually really nice. It has very good dynamic response which can be lacking in these keyboards, but you can still be pretty expressive with it.
