    • I'm still working on the arpeggiator which in itself it an awesome feature, the expression pedal jack is super awesome and made me realize how much I was missing such a feature

    • The arpeggiator is a nice feature too, and the little 'gamestick' on the top left has come in handy as well
    • There are other great features but over all a great product and would highly recommend for producers everywhere!
    • Keys and pads are accurately responsive and all the other features are as well
    • All in all I love the feel, the features of this thing, and most of it's portability
    • Arpeggiator: This is a fantastic feature as it provides effortless Arpeggios in a variety of configurations, keys and scales
    • Indeed, it's just a matter of time until the major DAW's add this important feature to their software
    • Another nice feature that comes with it is the thumb-controlled pitch-bend and modulation joystick, it works very well and has a quick response.- Arpeggiator:Also, the built-in arpeggiator is fun and easy to use, it is something to play with while making music
    • The toggle-like pitch / modulation bend is one of the coolest features in my opinion
    • all the features performed well, but i didn't like the small key size, so i ended up getting one with full size keys.
    • It's a limited-capability version of the MPC software; meaning its fantastic and has a lot of great features, but you only have one song track
    • all the features performed well, but i didn't like the small key size, so i ended up getting one with full size keys.
    • It has lots of great features, however, the software is extremely tedious to set up.
    • It has a lot of cool features, it's beautiful and feels like a good quality
    • Great controller, lots of nice features, small footprint
    • The TouchPad squares at the top respond relatively well, but the knobs on the top right are my favorite feature
    • It's got a few cool features that are built with it.
    • Great feature set with the arpeggiator and it definitely is easy to use
    • I highly recommend reading the manual when you first get the keyboard, as it explains all the features pretty much on one page!Lastly, I'd like to talk about the arpeggiator
    • Though someone who is use to the wheel style control might not like this feature
    • Solid build great features
    • I a few words, thias controller is simply stunning, I'm musician, and I needed a midi controller in order to recrod piano and strings sections, and this one makes things so much easier and enjoyable, leaving aside all the programs and set ups abailable on this midi controller, which are A LOT, and I'm still learning how to use them, it has so many great features, the keys have an incredible pressions sensor, that allows you to put the right intesity on every single note you are playing, the body of the controller is really compact, and comfortable to play, the drum pads responsiveness/build quality is amazing, it really helps if you want to creat a drum section from scratch
    • Super easy playback features on GarageBand, but setup instructions can take a few hours
    • I understand that this is an entry-level product with a great feature-to-price ratio, but I couldn't get into it
    • Love it, lots of cool features it is awesome and work perfectly with Windows 10
    • Works as it should.
    • The keyboard keys feel a bit springy but the drum pads are awesome!I will need some time to figure out how to program it but out of the box it works fine with Garage Band as well as with it's own suite of software
    • but I disagree as per one

    • I use this for a few midi type digital drums and beats, as well as for piano parts when recording
    • The keys dont feel as good as on a full size keyboard but still very good for the price, good for travelling
    • Well i had a very hard starting point with the software included but after that midi is pretty cool and learning curve is slow for me as a
    • Works exactly as you would expect
