Customer Rating:
Summary: Disappointed
Comment: I didn't expect to come to a software so confusing, so I haven't been able to upload sounds on to the machine. Now, that I have already opened the software, I may have to sell this and drop the price, because it says that it can be installed onto only one machine. It does look nice and feel nice and it was a good price when I purchased it, so I just hope that someone will buy it and can make it work.
Customer Rating:
Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT
Comment: This came with a warning sticker stating that this product contains chemicals, including lead, which can lead to cancer and other diseases/defects. I personally find this sickening that Amazon would sell a product that requires such a warning. I am returning it immediately. The only reason I gave it even one star was because Amazon would not let me post this review without at least one. Please be careful!

Summary: Great with Grage Band
Comment: Got this for my iMac and garage band. There are better keyboards out there for a lot more money. But for the price this is great.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good Value, Nice Action
Comment: Action is great for such an inexpensive keyboard. Wish it had some assignable knobs and pads, but one can't be too fussy for the price. I use it in a rig with an e-mu keyboard controller.
Customer Rating:
Summary: good keys for a good price
Comment: Got mine couple of weeks ago and I must say I am pleased with it. I needed lots of keys for piano parts my studio and it's doing just that. Its not fansy and full of controls, but I have other controllers for that. The keys are semi-weighted and velocity senitive, (which is a must have). I hooked it up my computer and it recognised it immediately.
One of the best features is that is can be totally powered by USB! Only one wire for everything.
Bottom line: if you're low on cash and need extra keys, its a very good buy. If you have some cash laying around or you need more control then there are others you could consider.
