This is by far the most Dynamic Midi Controller available at this low price
When I'm in the middle of a recording it simply stops working and none of the keys is functional, sometimes I even have to restart the computer to make it work ( and I have tested it on 3 different computers ) , despite that it is a great controller with very good features, it's a shame that the low quality hardware spoils what should have been a perfect controller
Even thought I love this controller the only reason for the 3 stars is that it loses the MIDI connection from time to time
Solid affordable 49 key midi keyboard, and it does everything I need it to do.
I am still exploring all the things this little affordable midi controller

I have heard that Moog and other high-end controllers in the $2k price range have great DAW integration as well, but I wouldn't know.

As people have stated, it would have been really nice if the pads were touch sensitive
