Excellent Desktop Midi Controller
The hardware is very well made. Full sized keys feel high quality with good sensitivity. The only thing that drove me crazy was having to sign up for a large number of accounts to hopefully get my free software. Kontact would not run on my computer. Have not been able to get all the free software due to the difficulty of continually signing in to multiple accounts. Love the hardware and its built in features.

Next level midi controller with easy integration
Awesome. So much more advanced and intuitive than I ever expected. I bought this when i realized that focusrite and novation are the same company. And I'm not disappointed. This is just as good as any other pro controller. This emulates hardware through plugins and stand-alone synths and plug-in managers. The controls work with many plugins and saw automatically. You get else sounds and effects. You can control other external mid devices as well as your daw. The keys and pads feel great, honestly, more solid and tractor than major competing synth brands. The pads are like mpc pads, if not more responsive and advanced. You can customize modes and save them, this allows you to save pretests for the different aspects, controls, and decoders. Easily or automatically integrates with most DAWs and plugins. This is well worth the cash compared to other 25 key midi controllers.
