An utter workhorse
I am a hard hitter when it comes to keys- battering an M-Audio Keystation 88 into submission and breakage in 4 days - but this beauty has stood up to 5 years of daily studio wear and tear, integrates brilliantly with both Cubase and Nuendo, and hasn't failed once. The Hammer action is great to play- I tried the Native Instruments iterations and they didn't feel as robust as this, so it will remain firmly in the rack until it dies. The sliders, button and knobs are all MIDI-re-assignable, and the pitch-bend/modulation wheels have a nice resistance to them, a great keyboard, I don't understand why M-Audio discontinued it, replacing it with a 'Pro' model, that frankly feels nothing of the sort. Downside? it is one heavy instrument, just over 21 KG, so advisable to get an extra pair of hands in if you are touring it.
