I was excited when I got this keyboard. It weighed a ton. There was no cheap plastic here, it was made of seemingly indestructable aluminum and the semi weighted keys felt great! The looks of this keyboard is also unmatched, It looks awesome! It has plenty of knobs , 8 * 2 banks and 8 sliders * 3 banks, one of which is used as drawbars for organ.The chunky transport buttons are easy to find when you need to stop your daw, but you'll have to program your daw to respond to cc#s 114-118. The big drawback is that rtz and rewind sent the same cc number and lack of buttons and support is lacking except via a user forum. Summing up, this company makes a gorgeous, sturdy keyboard that would sell like hotcakes if they would include presets and a better editor, and support. Novation's remote le and m-audio's axiom in the same price range have preset memories and better editors.
