    • I love this thing but still haven't figured out how to use the software that comes with it

    • The knobs need to be filtered through an effects plugin to do useful things, but they're quite nice once you do, with narrow min and max areas on both ends of the dial

    • 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
