GOOD KEY RESPONSE
somewhat lightweight. could be better with more weight to the unit. made of all plastic so very lightweight and easy to move around. for me a bit heavier of a keyboard will bring me the feeling of more quality. all in all it a very good midi device. bought this with the foot pedal included.
