This keyboard works on all levels: as a controller, synth and interface. So for the money you are getting a fair deal ... it all works

However I would advise you to think hard before you go for this keyboard. If you are using Reason for instance then the on board sounds become redundant:if you are into synths and are creative then you may be disappointed - built in patches are functional but not particularly inspiring .. ok if you just like pressing a button and stuff happens;the audio interface does "what it says on the tin" : the keyboard itself I found lamentable. Really .. my old PSR has a better action than this thing ... so if you are musical and need a response from your keyboard this is not for you ..
more of a kareoke type approach to music is required for this thing.

Sorry but it's true

The XIOSYNTH 49 is an excellent portable solution for complete MIDI controller, audio interface and synth. I bought it for jamming and recording in remote locations and found it stood up well to harsh conditions and demanding work. Latency is ultra low and the audio very stable [working with Ableton]. The synth is a bonus and if you're familiar with Novation's K-Station or V-Station you'll recognise that awesome 'liquid analogue' warmth they capture... battery or USB bus power adds another dimension to flexibility of use. Cool kit for sure!
