    Hi,

    I don't use it as much more than a decent controller kbd for MIDI input. I have not tried using the faders to control parameters etc in a DAW etc - can't comment. Only that the display is tiny (about the old DX7 size, although backlit) which may not be ideal when getting into deep setting up for complex MIDI control stuff?

    Piano action weighting is always a personal thing it seems - but I like the feel of this one - weight enough, but not hard work.

    Superb value for money - and the ONLY real choice I feel if you want anything less than the full 88 key monster size piano action kbds.

    Build quality seems fairly good - without being too heavy. Should last if treated well.

    SOS did a useful review - check that out for more details....

    If you want a good fully weighted piano action, for not very much money, then this is it! Superb value in this respect.

    Cheers,

    Kev
