Summary: very good, solid, budget keyboard
Comment: I'm a digital music noob and have been putting together a modest setup on my Dell laptop running Windows Vista. I'll tell ya it hasn't been easy. Drivers that don't work, programs that won't register and are incompatible with each other, sound cards that are also inadequate, audio interfaces that have bad drivers and won't work with anything else, oh my, it's been some hard lessons learned and there are lots of regrets along the way. But my one component that has been hassle free and has worked to my expectations right out of the box is my M-Audio keyboard.
Besides being easy to set up and use, I've been impressed with the quality. It really is a heavy-duty instrument. The whole thing just as a very sturdy, substantial feel to it. The key-action is decent. It does register how hard you press the keys pretty well. The one thing I don't like is that I have a fairly "light touch" and it fails to register some of my keystrokes. It really wants you to pound the keyboard apparently. I've gotten used to it, and it's fine for putting together little tunes at home, but it's no piano replacement, that's for sure.

Summary: Cheap, no frills , Ableton SUCKS!!
Comment: Well this being my first foray into MIDI. I may sound like a complete moron. First the CONS-
1- this thing is a lot bigger in person (that's what she said) It is big and clunky. I would have been better off buying something that made sounds on it's own for the size of this thing.
2- it only has a MIDI out connection. I was hoping it would have like a headphone jack or an out jack, nothing. That would have made a beginner like me happy.
3- Ableton comes bundled with it? This thing can't do anything. Apparently they want me to buy the full version based upon the way the screen looks (I am working with a lite version of Nero that has much better capabilities ao Ableton can stuff it's full version). I think I am going to remove that garbage from my computer. I have a Moog program I use to play the keyboard and I have to record it from my computer to an outside source. Any advice (that doesn't sound like Klingon or a stupid Ableton commercial) would be helpful. But I imagine I will figure it out on my own. Bottom line the ableton they sent doesn't even notice the keyboard or any sound on my computer that wasn't made by ableton.
And now the pros......... crickets.......ahem zilch
THUMBS DOWN!!!!

Summary: Nice Product
Comment: I bought this product really not knowing much about MIDI. So far it has worked great with my Cubase software. I think for a starter Midi input device/keyboard it offers enough features to get any beginner starter in the right direction. Easy to install - requires no additional power supply, powered by the USB. Comes with some free software to get you started if you don't have any.

Summary: Nice little controller
Comment: I can recommend this controller for those that need a small keyboard due to space restraints. It's limited by it's two octave range, but for most horn or string parts it's more than adequate. I needed a keyobard with a modwheel to help enter parts into Sonar with the Garritan Personal Orchestra plugin, and so far this keyboard is perfect.
Another bonus: incredibly easy to setup. Put the CD in the drive, load the drivers, plug it into a USB port, fire up your software. It worked perfectly the first time.

Summary: Great Value
Comment: Works great with Reason 3.5 on Intel Mac. One key shows signs of problems...make sure you get one with even keys. Mine may be a fluke, but I saw similar reviews with this problem elsewhere. Otherwise, a great deal.
