"A classic controller. Look into the newer version of it, the CME UF50. They've added alot of nice software features to ease midi"
I have been and will be using this as a master keyboard for a very long time. On the road and in the studio.
Sound
No sound. It's a MIDI keyboard. There is a sweet synth expansion for it, easily attainable and doesnt cost much by the ppl from Creamware but I don't own that.
Features
The last reviewer obviously can't read a manual and is the primary reason im reviewing. His whole review is worth ignoring. You can setup split keyboard zones easily, its right in front of you on the panel. The knob controllers are easily switched through for more parameters to assign at will. The mixer/midi faders can be switched to 'drawbar mode' and they absolutely rock.
Ease of Use
Have had no problems sorting this out. Only took a few minutes really but i've got quite a bit of experience with keyboards and midi. Interface is very intuitive and everything is clearly laid out. Looks nice and has a really strong build. The faders and knobs move like old school oil dampened pots.. real smooth and consistant. Although the UF5 doesn't have weighted or semi-weighted keys like it's bigger brothers.. the keys have a great spring weight and feel great to me. They play as tho they are weigthed. very natural response. Those that might be used to mini midi keyboards might find the action a bit springy.
Quality
