Midi keyboard with pads and several control items
On paper, it looks great, and its Novation, well-known in this domain, and a proof of quality.

UTILIZATION

Super simple installation, Novation offers, as usual a great control application, one can map anything with ease.
Now or AC is gatte is robust and manufacturing keyboard.
I have used many models before (even the bottom of m-game audio), and the keys on the keyboard are super cheap. It does not senfonce far and the quality of the keys is really mild, very disappointed by ca at first, then the pads, very hard and not very responsives. Mod wheels and wheel pithc good quality. The low quality pots also. the faders will ca mas no more.

OVERALL OPINION

Interest: very disappointed, I buy at Time Thoman and tomorrow I return (hopefully there is the famous 30 days)
I am very easy to seduce usual and happy little me (I have never been a pinailleur and boring for the gear-type), but what shocked me most this is the keyboard, personally I find it abuse for 170 euros put such buttons, no fun game, this is flat, no resistance, the plastic panel below the keys is also very fine and move when jappuie a little hard on the keys. the pads are not competitive an (MPCS is not asking for pads either). Anyway my roland keyboard that was less certainly had fewer features but a key bed of quality which is the minimum for a midi keyboard which exceeds 150 euros.

I specified that I did not want either a midi keyboard with semi fleet type or piano keys but then type synth I do not criticize in a vacuum.
