Low-budget awesome controller 
2008-03-17
This keyboard works fine for me. I'm not a sound engineer, just a home studio hobbyist. I use Pro Tools LE to do most of my recordings. I also program MIDI parts on that software using the pencil (note by note!). So I decided to get a controller keyboard to facilitate the job. The semi weighted keys let you program different velocities when playing creating a more interesting and human effect (especially on cymbals)
Difficult to program? I don't think so. I downloaded the Enigma software from the M-Audio website and the job was automatically done. Programming keys on a Mac is piece of cake, just drag and drop! BFD can also program the keys in auto mode. Don't be fooled for those who are saying is complicated to assign sound to the keys.
Low price, great specs... it's up to you.
Think Twice

Control buttons are difficult to assign and no printed manual. At this point I regret buying this product and will never recommend it.
Outstanding Midi-controller for the price 
2007-12-12
I bought this about a two months back. I've been using it with Reason, Logic and other software programs. They keys are a bit heavy, so they're amazing to touch. The functions on the midi-controller allow you to do anything. It takes some time to get used to all the functions and controls, specially assigning new functions, but once you get used to it, it's a beautiful midi-controller.
It's not as portable as my Edirol PCR-1 but it does the job. I love everything about it and would recommend it to anyone interested in a good, small sized midi-controller.
BTW, REASON 4 will not recognize this keyboard automatically, you'd have to choose yourself from the M-AUDIO choices...
Great Midi Controller 2007-01-11
Very easy to use, I am doing lots new of things. If you do music or remix with abbleton is great !!!
A really good keyboard to start with. 2006-06-30
I just bought this keyboard yesterday. I played around with for about 3 hours last night. So far it's everything I wanted it to be and more. It's one of the few midi keyboards that has trigger pads on it I've seen. The Enigma software from M-Audio is very easy to use. I mainly use Fruity Loops 5 so I have to spend some time to get the settings right. All the keys are very accurate to pressure you hit the keys with. It's very lightweight, maybe about 5 or 6 pounds. A very good buy for the price.
