    "...The software takes some getting used to. Had an issue with input delay when I'd press a key to when I'd actually hear a sound...." Read more

Some mention that it looks nice, has semi-weighted keys and programable inputs, while others say that the keys are a little heavy and bulkier than expected.

    My son is 13 and has been teaching himself piano for a few years now. He has a keyboard but was wanting something he could use with his Bandlab program on the computer to help compose whole songs. He specifically asked for a midi but wanted one with as many keys as possible. This was the happy medium. Not a full piano, but enough keys he can play all the parts of the things he likes to play easily without spending a small fortune.We had this plugged in and software downloaded within 20 minutes of opening it and about 15 minutes later he composed about the first minute or so of Enter Sandman (all the parts including drums/cymbals) and it sounded AWESOME. I have no idea how he does it. He definitely gets his talent from his dad. I just love listening to him play and I am so glad he found a passion for something so awesome.
