Amazing MIDI Controller

I got this for Christmas and have been using it for the past few days. The scale mode, chord mode, key sequencer and live sequencer are all flawless. I didn’t have a MIDI controller before so having this is a major upgrade to my work flow. The pads are very high quality and super fun to make drum beats on. (As one expects from Akai) The knobs are also built very well and make editing synths much more fun as I don’t have to use a mouse to turn knobs. Same goes for the mod and pitch wheels. This instrument is a steal for the price and I highly recommend it.

Very Well Done Guitar

I would give it 5 stars, but it required a lot of setup out of the box that my Strat and 7 string didn't. It sounds amazing running through my amp sims, but the amount of setup it took to get this guitar feeling right makes it four stars.

Best Software Bundle Ever

I would give this more stars if I could, I cannot understate the effort that goes into the Arturia synths. Having one is amazing, having almost every single synth by them makes creating insanely easy. The gear also sounds so much like the actual hardware.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

Preset Machine + MIDI Controller

This is really just a preset machine that I use as a MIDI controller I can’t say it’s the best piece of hardware but it’s amazing for someone just starting out on music

Preferred Settings + Usage:

Amazing

As a solo musician this offers all I need, an instrument plug and a mic plug. The Asia drivers allow for no latency as long as it’s plugged in. The Hitmakers Expansion is also a huge plus when getting started with music production.

Amazing Amp Sim + Pedalboard

I use this for most of my guitar sounds and use a lot of the effects for my soft synths. Its very nice to have a load of amps and pedals all in one plugin.

Amazing Guitar

I've had this guitar for 5 years and its better than a lot of Fenders that I've played. It sounds wonderful running through pro amps.

Great

I've had this guitar for 2 months. I've wanted a 7 string guitar since I figured out that's what Korn used. I finally bought one and this guitar feels great and plays great. I used Drop G tuning and the pickups handle it fine, just don't overuse gain and you shouldn't have any problems.

Perfect

I'm able to get the perfect tones that I wanted to from this amp as well as experiment with my own tones with that iconic Diezel Vh4 tone

Perfect

If you're trying to compress your sound, get this pedal. It's not a rackmount or some huge studio compressor; this does the same thing.

Great mix between fuzz and distortion

This pedal is used as my main distortion, its heavy like a fuzz but not too heavy where it still has a tone that's bearable left. For the price and what it does, I recommend this to everyone.
