Keyboard comes with a “License Redemption Card” to help produce the music on line, as well as an owners manual that tells you how the key board works, and comes with the keyboard itself.The keyboard has 10 buttons: on/off, tap tempo, oct-, oct+, full level, note repeat, bank A/B, CC, prog change, and a prog select button. Keyboard also has 8 knobs: division, swing, mode, oct, latch, sync, +/-The keyboard also has 8 different pads to help customize your music, as well has a pitch and mod wheel.Each of these things helps create customizable music on the website it provides you. Unfortunately, I have to upgrade my laptop because it does not have enough memory or processing speed to function at capacity and allow me to create the music.If you are beginner willing to watch videos online and learn as I am, this is a really good starting point to create music and have fun. The keys are a little bit sticky but loosen up with use and are wonderfully touch-sensitive. I love and completely vibe with the sound quality!! For the quality and value, I recommend this mixer!

At the risk of repeating what other reviewers have already said, this is a reasonable MIDI controller. There is enough of an interface here to be useful. The keyboard is neither full size nor weighted (which, as a pianist, is more annoying to me than it likely is for others). There is no line-out connectivity which limits its usefulness and the physical feel/build quality is definitely student/consumer grade. It comes with an Cubase LE lifetime membership which is mostly what you are paying for, so if you are interested in getting that app and can also make use of a midi controller, this is a pretty good deal. It's really down to where you are as a recording artist and what gear you need in your kit. It is good for what it is and certainly useful to someone starting out or wanting some spare/backup kit.

This is a pretty good MIDI controller keyboard. It has velocity sensitive keys and a lot of features, including a modulation wheel, a pitch wheel, an arpeggiator, 8 drum pads, cc controllers, program selection and change buttons, and 8 programmable dials. There is a 1/4 inch input for a sustain pedal, although no pedal is included. A nice extra is it comes with a license for Cubase LE 14. The keyboard seems to be built fairly solidly. I initially found the keys a bit resistant and small for my fingers, but I did get used to them. Since I have some experience with these types of keyboards I'm able to figure out many of the features on my own. However, the manual is not very good. Its descriptions are very short. That being said, in general this is a nice keyboard controller to write and perform with.

I've had quite a few midi controllers over the years, using with FL Studio mainly, and there are some pros and cons to all the controllers I've used.First and foremost, this does appear to be programmed to cubase, but using the "Prog Select" button and the drum pads, you can select FL Studio, Logic, and Studio One as well. That said, I don't really see the need to set your program explicitly because the features that would naturally line up with a midi controller are missing or broken on this. For instance, on other midi controllers, when you have the proper program selected, things like play/pause and loop mode can be changed from the controller in your DAW. This controller is missing any play/pause or loop control buttons so I don't know why you need to select "FL Studio" to get it working. When you set a tempo in FL Studio, it doesn't sync with the controller. To set the tempo on the controller is a "Tap" button which is imprecise and a little silly, or use secondary button (HOLD ARP ON and spin K7) but, really only comes into play if you use the arp mode.The midi interface works as expected. The keys and pads are both touch sensitive (but there's a button "Full Level" that sets at least the pads to 127 regardless of velocity) .The keys themselves are small, not full sized at all, and there's almost no resistance to speak of so playing quick notes is trickier than with weighted keys. But for midi controllers, it's rare to see weighted keys anyway so I wouldn't hold it against this. They key size, however, does make me randomly hit the wrong key with my large fingers!The pads really require a hard touch to trigger them, harder than I expected but just fine if you're banging away at it. I did notice when trying to record drums occasional hits were missed with these pads.Pitch bend worked fine, returns to 0. Mod wheel works as expected. I had no problem linking the knobs to parameters in FL Studio. There was one weirdness to the knobs though that I'm not in love with, but you may have a different experience.Most knobs on midi controllers I'm used to only turn about 300 degrees and stop. This lets you easily set min and max on parameters. There are some downsides to this- for instance opening a project or changing position on a project means your knobs will be out of sync.The knobs on this board are relative and can spin indefinitely. The pros to this are that it doesn't matter where you are in a song it will always treat a tweak as relative to it's current value. This is just fine I actually like this. What I don't like is that it takes me 4 to 5 spins to get the thing from 0 to 127. If you're looking for some quick crescendos on your cutoff, these aren't going to do it.I couldn't find a way to change the speed of the knobs. That makes adjustments with the knobs less useful than I would have hoped.All in all, it's a decent little thing- I wouldn't use it as my daily driver but it's small and light enough that I would consider it as a travel keyboard that I can easily pack in my laptop case when I'm on the go, I could use it to get by in a hotel room.This unit has a sustain pedal input so that's a nice addition.It's a little pricey for the features that you get. If you're looking for small and light, though, you could do much worse.
