I should of thought twice about buying something made in China. midi sync issues right out of the box. Firmware update just came out, maybe I’ll post again if that changes anything. The only good thing about this keyboard is that it really feels like a piano. But also I had problems with a simple damper/sustain pedal: it works intermittently… I’m gonna have to take this one in the pants , I think I would have had better luck with even an middle priced Casio

Feature:
Aesthetically, the unit is very attractive and seems to be a very comprehensive user-friendly interface for your modules and computer set-up.

Quality:
Because the look and the lay-out of this thing was so attractive, I spent a great deal of time in a music store playing this thing and trying very hard to convince myself that it was the right board for me….I simply could not get past how lousy the keyboard action was. I’m a real keyboard player, like many who have commented before me, and if this board was meant to simulate a real piano, it comes no where close. I think it’s the worst I’ve ever played.

Value:
From my own experience, as well as taking into account the experiences of those I’ve read, it’s a worthless piece of gear.

Desirability:
Again, it “glitters”, but you’ve heard the saying regarding things that glitter.

Sound:
Makes no sounds of it’s own ofcourse…it’s a controller

Support:
Thank God I won’t need M-Audio’s support, because unless there is certifiably significant improvement in their quality of their products, I won’t be purchasing anything from them.
