I like the keys and pads. Weighting is good. Nice key action. Very good quality build on the hardware.

Arturia keyboards to feel actually MUCH better than most other controllers on the market. They have a very solid feel, the key length is just right, and they are both velocity and aftertouch sensitive. And as stated, yes they are heavy but that's a good thing - these are some of the best-quality controllers on the market IMHO.

Perfection!

This is my second favourite keyboard I use for my production. A little bit bigger than "The Player" version, I can adjust directly the ADSR with the nice faders. This is very useful. It includes Analog Player VSTi with 1000+ synths sounds.
