Quality:
Subject:Mpk49 rules
Quality: Very well built, Solid keys and pads. Slightly loose knobs and faders but a great midi controller overall
Features: Best feature isnote repeat and AP. I would add more knobs and faders and more banks
Ease of Use: Very up front, plug install drivers and play. Only difficulties I had was actually saving my presets, I just mapped out the keyboard in a new file with reasons and saved the file as whatever you like and now i dont have to remap all the controlles again I just load and go.
Sound: Its a midi controller the tone of the sound is totally up to you.
Action: Action was live, I got down with it in 20 mins and made a beat with it on Fruit Loops right out of the box, I now use Reasons, The MPK49 seems to work better with reasons than FL just my opinion but its a great midi controller
Value: $399 aint so bad of a value
