    I bought this keyboard just to mess around with and im quiet surprise by something this awesome at this price.I have never used a midi controller in my life before and this took only 5 minutes or less to set up (just download a driver at the m-audio site, plug in, open up a program in my case the native instrument xpress keyboard and play) this is as simple as it gets.It's great quality and the semi-weighted keys feels amazing!!!!!! It has been about 2 months since I purchased this keyboard and have had no problems with it yet

  • Out of the BOX!!

    As reviewed by David on 10/5/2006

    If you are looking to buy a great keyboard/ arranger BUY THIS KEYBOARD. I am a professional musical director and do a lot of live orchestra with some recorded tracks. This keyboard is great! I didn't even have to read the manual (which you SHOULD do)! I plugged it in and I just started working. It's powered by USB which makes is even more amazing! A definite YES in my book! By the way, the key action on this keyboard is great and much better than advertised!

  • basically as advertised

    As reviewed by loganizer on 10/4/2009

    At the time that I purchased this, there were not yet 64 bit windows drivers available for it. So if that's what you are using, basically you can only use the keyboard with one program at a time. You should be able to find out if this issue has been resolved (if you absolutely need this kind of functionality) by going to the M-Audio site before purchasing. A great set of keys for the money
