Comment:

I was in question about the responsivenes with this item as it had been the cheapest choice on Thomann, nonetheless it responds with no lagg at all. It really is incredibly enjoyable and smooth to play! I make use of it with Pianissimo and I’m learning just how to play Piano it is positively addicting about it and! Thank you Midiplus and Thomann! <3 Use with Ableton is easy that can also be super the response is lagg-free completely, once again I am truly astonished by the quality of this product. Also the secrets are hammer-action and truly assimilate a Piano. For such a price-range you will not find an improved hammer-action midikeyboard with 49 keys. This also thing is big – it’s nearly one and a half meter very long.
