Excellent All-In-One Interface!
RaceRevlon from Los Angeles, CA, USA
Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
The KB37 is made out of plastic which makes it "feel" cheap, but I've had no durability or operational problems at all.
Features
What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?
It pretty much does everything or facilitates what it doesn't do. It acts as an interface for vocals and instruments, controls software instruments, and acts as a control surface for your DAW. You can also plug in additional footswitches and expression pedals for additional control, and route other devices (like a drum machine or other keyboard) through the interface, making recording of other gear extremely easy.

Incredibly easy to set up and use. Drivers installed on Windows 7 no problem and as noted above, SONAR 8.5 has a MIDI preset, so a couple of mouse clicks and I was up and recording.
Sound
How is its Tone?
The KB37 doesn't produce its own sounds, but does its job as an interface flawlessly. No signal coloring or loss problems here.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Very nice--not to stiff and not too soft. Very realistic feel and easy to play.
Value
Was this item an overall good value?
For what you are getting (a recording interface with multiple I/O, MIDI controller, keyboard controller, and DAW control) this is an excellent value. I'm extremely happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone who needs an interface and is going to use software instruments as well. SONAR 8.5 even has an in-the-box MIDI preset for the KB37!!

Key-lightful!

Although it's crazy-lightweight and at first makes you think "cheap," it is in reality of good build quality.

The octave shifting is great.

Good. Still haven't figured out how to use an expression pedal with it. Thought I'd set the MIDI parameters correctly, but the pedal that works for my Alesis and Motif doesn't work here (at least not yet).
Sound

tres nice
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Not sure what "action out of the box" means, but the drivers loaded up without problems and the MIDI worked just fine with my DAW.
Value
Was this item an overall good value?
Definitely a good value. 3 octaves of keys and an audio interface? Perfect!
