Reviews around way (5.00 of 5)

  • The KAOSS pad is an awesome way to add modulation and effects to your sounds in real time using simple touch, making this a very expressive sound machine
  • Key players primarily will feel comfortable enough to bang out tunes, the way they expect it to.2) 512 on board sounds : The sounds are great, with the standard ADSR parameters with both knob and slider controls side by side (you can use either)
  • As it stands, I'm probably going to just record the audio output into my computer, but there should be a better way
  • mine came yesterday,im blown away at what this can do and by the sounds it has,as well as the extras like gongs,bells,wind ,thunder,birds,its packed with stuff,the keys are great to play,if your thinking about buying one,i say buy it
  • Its primarily a composers and performers tool as well as for ideas generation and arrangements tryouts in the studio

Reviews around feel (5.00 of 5)

  • The pads need to be pressed to a steady force to keep them at the right feel for drums, but for synth and piano a lighter touch is suffice
  • but then most MIDI controllers do not even have that, and certainly not the level of the Kawai action which is truly a remarkable feel, you have to play it to feel it
  • Light as a feather - 3.4 Kgs only, I can play it on my lap, carry it anywhere, use any ready made headphone, use the bevy of adapters when I really need it for sound output, very good key feel, solid number of controllers and pads, can be used for automation with software and comes with a solid selection of free software including Reason limited, plugins from Garageband and the editor software for every parameter that can be saved in "scenes" which are essentially program parameter settings snapshots

Reviews around set (5.00 of 5)

  • This is great if you're mainly a live musician, because you have a great set of sounds you can play without dragging your computer along
  • You could connect it to any of the modern set of monitors including - units like the Presonus Ceres BT35/45 val aux cable or the 1/8 to RCA cables provided and it sounds as good as it should

Reviews around config (5.00 of 5)

  • I love the config, and the connectivity panel is a small section making the usual layed out format at the back something which I certainly do not miss.8
