"I got iRig Keys Pro a while ago and it has been an invaluable road companion ever since. But, now IK Multimedia has taken the portable studio/keyboard to another level. The iRig Keys I/O is my new favorite keyboard to travel with. It's packed with so many useful features including a full 4-octave keyboard and input for voice or guitar ideal for writing and recording while on the road with stereo quarter inch outputs ideal for use on stage. iRig Keys I/O is an amazing piece of kit! Just plug in to your laptop and you have very your own mobile studio!"

"I’m using to 2 MacBook Pro laptops both with Mainstage. The upper keyboard (Impulse) center, and lower right Studiologic are the controllers. I use these exclusively for the retro-simulations and complex orchestral patches. For instance, I use a number of some 3rd party plugins such as: IK Sampletank, Omnisphere, G-Media, M-tron etc. Both computers are loaded with these plugins. It is very helpful in recreating the retro analogue keys sounds from the early Yes stuff such as mellotrons, organs, electric pianos, church organs, Minimoogs etc."
