Subject:	Amazing controlling power for little $$$
Quality:	4.5 of 5. Seems pretty solid. Not sure well it would hold for gigging, but should hold up well in the studio.
Features:	Faders and buttons and knobs, OH MY! This thing looks like you could launch the space shuttle with it. I love the "drawbar" mode for the slider to control organ modules.
Ease of Use:	Once you get in to it, it's pretty basic. Push a couple of buttons to look for a controller, operate that controller then push another button to program what CC you want to control. I programmed it to control the upper manual of my Roland VK8M organ module so that I can use the vk8m's drawbars for the lower manual. Plus I could split the keyboard into a ch1 upper manual/ch3 lower manual with octave shifting to make it work. This only took me about 10 minutes.
Sound:	It's the best multi-sample of silence I have ever heard. (no sounds, controller only)
Action:	Pretty decent action. I still prefer Roland and Yamaha weighted action, but works well enough that it dosen't hinder playing
Value:	Yes, has more features than controllers costing twice as much.
Do you own this product?:	Yes
