I’ve been reading reviews from all kinds of sites seeing wut peoples reactions r to this device, as to whether I shud add it to my “candidates” for my next purchase or not. the biggest complaint is the lack of a printed manual. I myself am for the idea cuz the less trees killed the cleaner air we breath. but for the whiners who cant live without a printed manual… all u need is a printer. lack of a printed manual for any device helps keep the price down too. there were also people who had trouble programming its features. well if u werent in such a hurry to plug the thing in and get it working and took time to read the pdf FIRST, u mite have an idea on wut yur doin n not have all the complaints. I havent bought the unit but it gives u everything buying the 3 korg nano’s available offer in one unit. (another candidate on my list) I’m still not sure about how intense the programming is for the pads… wut parameters u can get at. no one has reli gone into detail there and thats wut I really want to know! I still dont know if I’m going to get the unit but people… we alredi know there isnt a printed manual… quit whining n review the unit. not the lack of a printed manual!!!!

Control buttons are difficult to assign and no printed manual. At this point I regret buying this product and will never recommend it.

This product comes without instructions. The help files are totally useless and nothing on M Audios web page explains anything. I have been calling the contact number which has been busy for the last 3 days and the e-mail I sent them 3 days ago is unanswered. Spare yourselves the headache.

This is a good keyboard for high-end non-professional users. It’s a little bit over-complicated, surely anti-intuitive, and sometimes I don’t know why the volume drops down. Perhaps it’s just hte fact that, being the keyboard anti-intuitive, I need to touch something that I don’t imagine. Obviously, you can read the 300 pages PDF: if you can do that, you pass the border between amateur to professional and, after a while, you’ll send back the keyboard for a professional one…
but it’s a good keyboard, anyway.

I’m not a professional, so I got difficulties to configure it on a PC and some in a MAC.
