Great for the price
1 of 1 found this helpful This is a very nice midi controller for the price. The keys feel the same material as usual professional keyboards and it and the pads are very responsive. The chasis itself feels like those old casio keyboards; hard and reliable plastic type, so it is a very tough chasis, although if you are used to the newer "light metal" or "soft touchable" chasis like the most recent models from novation or akai, you will get dissapointed. It has a very nice blue backlight feature that lights the pads, the knobs and the small buttons. The pitch and mod wheels are awesome, with high quality grapping material, very responsive, and very stable. The knobs are "infinity" type with a really smooth turn around, so smooth that u could say they are kind of fragile as a first impression but these are very well constructed. If you need precision knobs with harder turn around like those in the arturia beatstep this are absolutely the opposite from it. The keyboard itself is not portable at all it is bigger than it looks, it is wider than usual modern keyboards and it is heavy, but it has all the basic features required from a midi keyboard greatly covered. The only reason I am not giving a 5 star rate is because of the small rectangle buttons and the chasis material. The buttons feel really low quality made, l mean, really that low. And u can tell the difference from all the construction of the other elements, but again I guess that for range price range it is still a great option

a very cool analog chorus
2 of 2 found this helpful This little guy really surprised me. It has a very smooth and natural effect over the signal, it keeps your dynamics almost intact, it doesnt over staurates the tone even at max levels of depth and in general it doesnt thin the tone that much, which is a very nice feature specially for modulation effects. The additional thru output is a really cool feature (almost standard now a days) if u need some effect loops. As long as I understand this pedal is buffered bypass which some purists tend to depreciate but I find it very useful and sometimes even better than hipped true bypass, again specially for modulation effects, I have not hear significant tone loss or "coloring" whit this pedal. As I said at the beginning, this pedal is more in the type of "smooth" action over the tone, even at max control positions which is perfectly fine if you need to add elegant and maybe "always on" chorus effect to your tone. If you need more drastic or significant modulated effect over your tone, this might not be the best option, I would look instead into the keeley seafom for example, with the obvious price range differences of course. My only concern with this little guy is the fact that the low-high cut controls are not very responsive at all, and so you do not get significant tone variations with it according to my first impressions, but apart from that is an excellent pedal for the price.
