Some comments from people who come to the forum about this model:

Comment:

IMO this product doesn’t make sense because it is commercialized as a piano design 88 notes keyboard but it doesn’t provide this function. The keyboard is beautiful and stylish, but as soon you could not play Piano nor Pianissimo as I link it to Pianoteq and Keyscape I discovered. It just does Forte and Fortissimo. The sensitiveness of each note is too hard and is particularly perhaps not exact at all.
Even changing the several velocity curves the keyboard has, and establishing the velocity curves as slow in Pianoteq I wasn’t in a position to create any decent piano noises. The result is an extremely robotic and sound that is unexpressivefrom the libraries demonstrably). This isn’t a keyboard for pianists. This may serve as a controller that is daw to trigger samples etc. or as as attractive keyboard, because it?s very gorgeous and looks well built, although not to try out expressive instruments that want exact sensitivity similar to any high end piano software like Pianoteq or piano libraries.
So if you might be a decent pianist and if you would like a 88 note keyboard to play piano just save yourself the hassle to purchase as you will definitely become returning it.
