Used it live, the mapped buttons are set correctly; super build quality (metal casing); the keys feel nice to the touch and I quickly got used to their dynamics (compared to M-AUDIO 88 - they seem to rise much faster but for me, it's not a drawback). The SoundCreation team, as usual, is top-notch: friendly, they gave me all the necessary details. I consider it a positive example of quality/price ratio.
