The absolute best in the 100 bucks pricetag
suseJattack 05.09.2020
This keyboard is, in my humble opinion, the best in its price range. I have tried the most famous ones like the Akai, some M-Audio ones and the Nektar Impact lineup, but this is by far the best.

The layout is absolutely gorgeous, which may not be needed to make music, but I personally think it is important that your gear is beautiful, and I find this keyboard quite aesthetically pleasing.

For Ableton users this is a no-brainer, since the amount of features you get to handle the software are absolutely insane. Despite that, Novation have taken other DAW users into consideration and brought up some nice features and add-ons for non Ableton users.

Technically speaking, I am no expert, but I find the keybed much more confortable to play than the other ones and the pots are nice. They wobble a bit but can't ask much.

I find the slider-type modulation and pitch wheels much more comfortable to use than the real thing. Also, they show no bump since they are flat with the surface, so I think it is a great design decision.

The pads are no special good in quality concerns (also not special bad, either, they work absolutely fine), but the device comes with a piece of sofware (Components) that lets you program every single pad and pot in every possible way, which I find absolutely amazing.

Speaking of software, at the beginning, they let you download everything that you get from the device from a nice landing page, so it is very easy to get everything set up.

All in all, I think you don't give up in anything with this device, while still keeping it cheap. Can't imagine how good their higher end devices may be.

Perfect for Every Job

This is the perfect MIDI controller for a smaller studio setup, and is much more affordable and easily incorporated into a bedroom studio than a full size keyboard.

It's very handy
KarlC 04.02.2023
It is what you'd expect. A cheap yet fairly sturdy bit of kit as the other reviews state.

It comes with Ableton lite now I think which was free when I bought this but now you need to buy this to get lite (if you follow me) .

Just used at home with a focusrite soundcard with two ports.

This controls the studio software to lay down ideas.

You can also have a bit of fun.

And if this is gonna be a bedroom / backroom bit of kit, the lights are nice, lol.

It's fine.

It just works so well...
JarzJarz 30.08.2021
Dealing with MIDI since the late 90s I got used to all the programing and tweaking but guess what - it doesn't have to be like that. This one just works. You plug it in, open the Ableton Live! and everything just works. Made my workflow much smoother.

Good for its size
Sirholdthem 11.01.2024
I like this a lot and is a good midi controller. Obviously due to its size it can be limiting as to the types of music can be produced but I can’t fault it because it has served me well thus far.
All in all, a great piece of kit that does what it’s supposed to do and has good compatibility with Ableton Live which is one of my DAWs of choice.
