      This was definitely a good purchase. It comes with Analog Lab V, which is excellent to use in Ableton Live (which is what I use), and the dedicated knobs and sliders help it to sound great! I also plan to use it for live performance too, as a smaller keyboard I can stack.

    • I love this!!!
