QUALITY:
For the money, it's incredibly well made. Actually, whether or not you consider the money, it's well-made. The only concern I have is that the DJ crossfade slider seems a little flimsy, but other than that, it's quite a controller.
FEATURES:
The dynamic mapping feature, which is really geared for Sonar at this point in time, is AWESOME. It uses a Sonar ACT plugin and it really works well. This is definitely the best feature of this controller for Sonar users. Other than that, it comes with a great balance of faders, knobs, buttons, and even 18 buttons that double as velocity pads. The velocity pads will never replace a real drum controller, of course, but I consider this a very nice bonus on this keyboard. So don't expect much from the velocity pads... but for this amount of money how can one complain? It's still impressive. The keybard is also aftertouch sensitive, so that's important for some synth guys. Overall, the most feature filled co |
