UTILIZATION

The semi-weighted keyboard instead (or semi-light, hi) will fit may not be a concert pianist, but for me playing the organ for years, Welson to drawbars of 1967 (still works) DX7, Yamaha PSR 7000 is a compromise rather pleasant.
We can connect the three classic pedals, sustain 1 and 2, vol.
I loved the site M-Audio is clear and in french, (still rare).
I use Cubase and Native B4 is virtually automatic (the Mac!), The B4 is also directly on the Keystation Pro 88 with no problem after updating 1.13 of Native B4 (important) that the site is not in french, unfortunately.
M-Audio website is clear and french him! , (Still rare).
After downloading the two docs in french and the Enigma software 1.1 (essential), which allows you to save any configuration desired, this is a super set.

OVERALL OPINION

I own this keyboard for 2 months, and I find practices, including reversible drawbars for the B4. The very short latency on my config. The setting options in large numbers, the large LCD screen playback, the spit into 4 zones.
In practice I prefer to be in Midi rather than USB (not micro-cuts, separate power supply).
The black keys sink too, but I myself do use. As I sometimes usb notes omitted, but not south. I hope M-Audio will create more free software on Mac like they have on PC, like database ect ...
In the same price range in 88 notes, I tried to Studiologic SL-990xp, and in a range well above my means the Fantom X-8 Roland, it follows a value for money, quality, performance, unbeatable.
If it again .... M-Audio released we can be another good surprise by then. I am happy ....
