Feature:
Amazing features. 8 Pressure sensitive rubber pads taken from the trigger finger. they feel perfect for drums and give a perfect bounce feel to them. The transport bar is great to use with my DAW, and it allows me to control the basics. The Keys feel perfect, and have a piano type feel to them. The curves are just right and make the dynamics feel warm on most soft synths.

Quality:
Feels very solid and will last a lifetime.

Value:
Super value, its comes with pads, transport, pots and nice semi weighted keys for playing authentic instruments.

Desirability:
Looks very slick, and its has a very nice blue lcd screen.

Sound:
No sounds, but it can be used to shape sounds with the modulation wheel, which is great and very effective.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to setup, and works great out the box.

Support:
Im not a fan of M Audio support, its a hit and miss.

Overall:
Better than any other midi controller in the market right now. I like my 25 keys for idea sketches and laying down quik midi passages, and move to my other 61 note keyboard for main studio work.
