Value For Money :
Excellent
I do not re-turn caracs, see other reviews. I chose it for the right compromise between the 80 keys soft to the touch, many controllers for a featherweight. I put just a layer on the external pedal input, and for good practice.
UTILIZATION
Touch is excellent for this price range, and I have never found this as a master keyboard (tested M-Audio, Evolution, Novation). This is not the touch of a piano, or even an electronic piano weighted, but it's not plastic, not fake. No squeaks nide hard keys back to appuer or not.
I used it to control a synth using soudfonts. I am very satisfied. e have always used USB, Windows 7 or Linux (Tango Studio, Ubuntu Studio), it is completely plug & play without driver.
The manual is sufficient.
Config is not super obvious, but it is on the MIDI keyboard is necessarily a geek thing. The fact is that there are many possible settings, so many parameters and subtleties. Adjusting velocity curves is not the easiest, but I think you can not change it every four mornings. Otherwise, for assigning a controller to a MIDI and recording, it's pretty easy once you got the hang of hand. Other functions (choice of channel, octave, split ...) are easily accessible and well thought out.
OVERALL OPINION
I used it for two years. I tested several models from M-Audio, Evolution, Novation, Alesis. The number of controllers, the overall quality of manufacture, so its strength, lightness and above all the quality of the keyboard to put me at the top of the basket in this price range. I saw a few negative opinions on longevity. I bought mine used and it is still like new. After that, sure, I trimballe very little and still in its bag, and with great care: it's fragile little creatures!
The price / quality ratio is good.
I give the keyboard because I do not have time, and I will focus solely on guitar and vocals. But if one day I have to get back to the keyboard, it is certainly among Edirol I go see, and certainly this model.
