TobinMueller 10/10 Incredibly easy to use, super light keyboard is perfect for working with GB. It works flawlessly without any other devices, plugs into USB port and you're ready to go. No power chord, it is driven off of the USB connection. Because it has no internal sounds itself, but only drives internal computer sounds, it is very light weight. You can't get any easier, better designed keyboard for the money.
fosod 10/10 This instrument met or exceeded all of my expectations--A fantastic purchase for the beginner or intermedate MacJammer. Plug-and-play becomes plug-and-play-and-record-and-love-your-Keystation-a-lot. Excellent product and highly affordable, not to mention sleek design and small form factor.
ronnielong 10/10 Yup....Plug and Play baby!!!.... I use it for Bass and Drums, and Maybe some strings sometimes....killer keyboard...10's ....still lookin' for a real live band though....who be in Denver, Co.???
Rebsie 10/10 Excellent value for money if you want a reliable, practical keyboard that's easy to use. It does everything you're likely to need it to, despite having very few knobs and gadgets. It's sturdily built but still very lightweight, and can take a moderate pounding. It also has more keys than most keyboards in its price bracket - a whole 4 octaves.
bennomatic 8/10 It is what it is. Easy to use, light, compact, USB connected and USB powered. Not much beyond that; it's very inexpensive and the features reflect it. If all you want is a basic keyboard to start with, this is great. However, because of lack of features and a very cheap feel, I can not give it a 10. As a keyboard, it's a 5. The price is an absolute 10, so all in all, I give it an 8.
T$ 9/10 so ridiculously easy. i feel exactly like tobin does about this thing.
Cantor 9/10 I own both this and the 61 keystation model. If they made a 61 key version of THIS keyboard, it would be perfect. I have NO idea how to use any other knobs/bells/whistles outside of "Pitch Bend" and Modulation--and volume, of course! But for my desk at work, this keyboard is super-sweet! Get it now!
Mac Guy 1108 9/10 Very good price, lightweight, with no extra stuff inside because it's built to play through the computer, not itself. Couldn't be an easier setup. Out of the box, connect the USB cord, open Garageband/Other Application and turn it on. Simple.
