The Midi works pretty well with the included stuff, The mapping doesn't work for FL Studio, so you need to manually map the knobs and buttons. On the other hand, the Keys and Pads work on FL automatically. The Build quality is outstanding, but since, it's matte finish on metal, it is bound to get scratched if not handled carefully like mine did. The pads sound pretty solid. The keys aren't up to my expectations but is still playable and expressive. The keys doesn't have hammer action, so it works just like a Moog or a DX 7. It doesn't resemble piano keys. But, with a little practice, you could play this just like you play a hammer action keyboard. And the keys and pads are also a bit noisy. But, at this price, with all those extra features, it's a bargain. Me being a Music Producer, This will work for all those string sections as well as some piano pieces too. It's an allrounder. Get it.

The Product is awesome and nice built quality and very proffessional, Can some tell me how to operate it.

Excellent product

Using this with FL studio. Works like a charm and the user mode makes it painlessly customisable. Very comfortable keys. What makes this truly special is the Analog Lab software that comes with it. Incredible sounds and would shine in any musical context one can think of. Very happy with the purchase.

It’s excellent feeling to use this keyboard Quality: Good Value for money: Yes
