It does what it is supposed to do, and to a low cost, and with good build quality. The keys respond well, and the pitch bend and modwheel are placed where they should be. I was actually happy when i found this one, since most MIDI keyboards of today only have USB and not MIDI?? This is an old school, pure Mide controller which I can hook up to any of my module synths just to play, without bothering of going through a DAW setup with a USB -only masterkeyboard....
