Hi,

I 've seen a very cool price for this 25 keyboard controller. In fact its so cheap it makes me wonder if there's any problem with it.

AFAIK there were known problems with the Photon X25, which has audio interface built in, but i dunno about this one (only midi controller and MIDI I/O).

Is there anybody here who has any experince with these controllers?

Thanks

I have one. no problems at all. works as advertised. :)

Mines works great too...build quality is fine (i wouldn't say great, but it's more than you'd expect at that price, quite a bit more).
The knobs/xy all work as they should, it's stable, powered from the usb itself (or a power supply, or batteries) and...works, it 'just works'. :P It's also quite light for the sturdiness (i've dropped mine a few times, not a scratch on it).

If all you need is a simple controller, then you couldn't go wrong with it. Another bonus (and i don't know if all are like this) there are NO drivers...it literally is a 'plug and play' device in all respects.

Thanks for the replies.

Is there a light led to see if what layer you are currently user for the knob section?

EDIT: Ok, i saw it has.

Isnt the joystick for pitchbend/mod a bit short in its lenght? specially to do some sweeps, etc. with the modulation wheel (up/down direction).
