Oscar S. Used for: 6–12 months
Pros
Semi weighted keys with a proper aftertouch response
Cons
Only really shines with Native Instruments software
Comment
Templates loaded for every instrument I own, and not an hour of mapping anywhere
Amelia D. Used for: Less than a month
Pros
The light guide makes a scale obvious without thinking about it
Cons
The power supply is another brick on an already full strip
Comment
Came from a cheap controller where every knob had to be mapped by hand, and the difference is an hour saved at the start of every session. Keys feel good under the fingers, not weighted but with enough resistance to play properly. The desk footprint is the only thing I would change.
Isla N. Used for: 1–3 months
Pros
The knobs have enough resolution to ride a filter smoothly
Cons
It takes up most of a desk and does not fold away
Comment
All eight knobs do the right thing the moment a plugin opens, with no mapping and no menus at all, which is worth the money on its own!
Leo K. Used for: 6–12 months
Pros
The screens mean you never look at the laptop
Cons
Not bus powered, so a supply comes too
Comment
Browsing a library from the keyboard has changed how I write
