### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great MIDI But Keys feel more Synth like rather than a Piano.
*by A***D on 26 November 2018*

The Midi works pretty well with the included stuff, The mapping doesn't work for FL Studio, so you need to manually map the knobs and buttons. On the other hand, the Keys and Pads work on FL automatically. The Build quality is outstanding, but since, it's matte finish on metal, it is bound to get scratched if not handled carefully like mine did. The pads sound pretty solid. The keys aren't up to my expectations but is still playable and expressive. The keys doesn't have hammer action, so it works just like a Moog or a DX 7. It doesn't resemble piano keys. But, with a little practice, you could play this just like you play a hammer action keyboard. And the keys and pads are also a bit noisy. But, at this price, with all those extra features, it's a bargain. Me being a Music Producer, This will work for all those string sections as well as some piano pieces too. It's an allrounder. Get it.
