"Arturia has a classic"

This keyboard controller is my main midi key now. It has to be one of the best keyboards I've ever bought. The cats that come with it are perfect. You might find yourself not using anything else for a while. The ability to use arturia vsys without looking at the computer is a plus and strong selling point. Hardware keyboards have a a challenger.And the sound is realistic and clean on the Analog Pro, easily competing if not beating some more expensive standalone keys. Great board plus pretty craftsman ship.
