"Perfect Stage Piano"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Awesome purchase. No complaints. First piece of hardware from this company. Good job M-audio!
Sound
I run this through 2.1 monitor set, this board sounds surprisingly great. I bought it for stage and home use and have no complaints. Board has your real basic bread and butter: Piano, EPs, Organs and strings.
Features
Basic features, but exactly what I wanted. I do have a Yamaha Motif, this board is obviously not comparable in terms of features. But hence, that ain't bad at all, it's a Stage Board and it does what it's supposed too. Set your splits, layers and yer all set! Effects are typical, don't expect mad quality.
Ease of Use
Simple! Don't even need to read the manual. All the settings are easily labelled.
Quality
Board feels solid. Took me a few minutes to get used to the keys, they tend to feel on the heavier side and aren't graded (bass to treble), all feel the same. Looks like this will last, it's thick and solid!
Value
I picked up a B-stock floor model. No problems at all. Solid and easy to use. Awesome price! Did I mention it includes a sustain pedal? And not the cheap square little ones, this is good quality pedal.
Manufacturer Support
No idea, haven't needed it yet (cross fingers). Includes manual, didn't open it lol
The Wow Factor
I needed something basic and affordable for now. I do plan to switch to a Nord Stage/Electro in the future. But i'll prolly keep this anyways...Blue lights, yummy! lol
