A great small Keyboard for just about anything

This was my first keyboard that I got in a Presonus Recording Bundle package. The keyboard is not great, but playable, and It has just enough controls to get you through most things. This product is actually an Acorn Instruments Masterkey 49 controller that is blue and has the Presonus name stamped on it.
