  • A lot of bang for the buck, but some corners were cut.

    Overall it's a great controller. I use it to run Reaper and record MIDI, I also use it to control a Roland JV 1080 sound module, and in general it works fairly well, but... ...the drum pads velocity sensitivity out of the box is abysmal--a light tap gets you exactly nothing. In fact, in order to get any usable velocity sensitivity that doesn't require you to actually beat the thing hard enough to cause damage, you have to set it all the way up, or forego sensitivity altogether--which I suspect is why they added the dedicated target velocity's to the mix. There's no real way to get a smooth transition from ultra soft playing to ultra loud playing. It just won't happen--you'd be better off assigning velocity in a MIDI editor--which kind of defeats the advantages of having pads. The faders, like the velocity on the pads seem to like to jump from one point to the next without a smooth transition. You can look at the curves after using them and it's pretty obvious that they are skipping a lot in the middle--it looks like square waves more than a linear transition. Both the pad sensitivity and faders could likely be fixed by a firmware update, and probably should be. If this controller didn't offer a plethora of other features I would have sent it back, but as far as bang for the buck you really can't match what this things does, but the two problems I mentioned are definitely worth consideration, while they can be worked around, I shouldn't have to--but again there are other features that more than make up for the difference, and when you're making something as all-encompassing as this at such a low price-point, some things are bound to suffer.

    Bought this 6 months ago, used it a handful of times in home studio, barely even used it to be honest. The OLED screen wasn't working out of nowhere when I tried to use it last. M-Audio ignored my first attempt to contact them through their website/my account, they claim they respond in 72 hours, it's been weeks. Just had to hold for 30 minutes to speak to someone on the phone. Now I have to ship it to them (at my expense apparently, yikes) and be without a MIDI controller for somewhere between 4-6 weeks, now that I actually need to use it of course. I'll be selling this junk at a loss as soon as I get it back and won't be purchasing M-Audio products again, horrible experience with product and service.
