The feel and playability of the keyboard is awesome. The sliders require more force to slide than I am used to. Perfect for manipulation of the Vienna Symphonic Library instrument parameters on the fly.

Easy setup in Logic and ProTools. Up and running within 10 minutes. Within minutes I was moving through Logic and ProTools while not having to use a QWERTY Keyboard or mouse to do things I wanted to do.
Sound
How is its Tone?
N/A as this keyboard has no sounds. However, I noticed a difference, particularly in my piano samples due to the velocity and action of the keys.

I love this board but setting it up is a pain it's nothing like advertised there's more to it then just going to the peripherals and click a couple options. The driver is such a pain I had rto find some one that had there setup and that took about week serious. I dont why M Audio would say it easy when its no where near easy. Not only that but every body says the same thing all these new boards arent wrong the problem.

AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR ANY SERIOUS PRO TOOLS USER!
Vic Rivera from Bronx, NY, USA
Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
This is an extremely well thought out and well made controller - the HyperControl technology really lets you go very deep into Pro Tools (and I would imagine any other music software as well) even before any customization to its parameters (if you are inclined to tweak it) - seriously, right out of the box it's functionality is just SICK. I haven't even begun to start doing any sort of customization and I have access to the deepest levels of edit over my session that i never could have imagines without some extensive configuring and it's done for you automatically with this thing! Bravo, M-Audio....
Features

The Hypercontrol software. So easy, even a caveman could do it. Wait, that line's been spoken for..
Again, Hypercontrol rules - 'nuff said!

TOO simple. Hypercontrol really is a gift from the MIDI gods. 'Nuff said!
Sound
How is its Tone?
It's a MIDI Controller - no native sound library, but you can sure trigger whatever you want inside your DAW easy enough!
Action
How was the action out of the box?
The unit has an extremely playable keyboard, best feeling of any MIDI controller I've experienced so far. The controller buttons, rotary encoders and sliders are laid out in a simple, intuitive and effective manner that totally makes navigating your session in Pro tools a breeze.
Value

I purchased a NFS model and aside from the box being opened, the item was brand new, all stickers in place, no marks - just a brand new unit at a discount. Couldn't ask for more. I would highly recommend NFS items from AMS if they are available - I also purchased a NFS set of Yamaha studio monitors which were, of course, in perfect condition and my main studio monitors since. Gotta love AMS for this!
