Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It comes with a daw but i never used it. Point and goes through the midi setup using the keys. It directly works with my daw (reaper), without any configuration.

Both the 48 and 61 key versions are solid. The keys are not heavy like a real piano but as someone who isn't a real pianist, i prefer the light weight keys. The pressure sensitive keys make for some super dynamic stuff.

Set up is plug and play. Just plug into the back and put the usb into my adapter and boom. The im1 on ipad is incredible to resolve it but you really need to play it.

The volume, modwheel and pitchwheel feel really high quality with the mechanics. The mod and pitch bend wheels are very solid with smooth travel.

It has a very reasonable unweighted-keyboard feel and is generally pleasant to play. It's nice and sturdy as well.

Cons

But the keybed is garbage. To me they are extremely loud.
