Review: Great device for the studio - This keyboard controller offers everything I really need in my studio for composing and writing. While I do use a separate transport surface this has that built in if you need it. You can easily customize the pads for your VI drums. The keyboard plays and functions great. While I'd rather have 88 keys this fits perfect in my limited space. It comes with some good software and also allows you to customize its features via pc app. This has earned a permanent space as my main studio keyboard for writing and recording midi.
Review: Good built quality and price. Well packaged. - Just received my 61-key MK4. This is my first ever keyboard of this style. Overall build quality is very good. Infinite knobs and faders feel sturdy and well designed. Touchpads also feel very good and responsive with aftertouch. I don't have much experience with this style of keyboard keys, but on first impression the feel of the keys land somewhere in the middle/upper-middle with good responsiveness and weight- definitely useable. I'm going through the online manual and the layout seems pretty straight forward with a lot of built-in features which I do like and plan to use. The compatibility with Ableton seems very good as well- additionally their site states good compatibility with other software which I'd suspect it is. I've yet to update the firmware but that's on my list of things to do. Overall for the price and initial impression, this is a good buy. If I find any issues I will update.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great bang-for-buck budget midi-controller! But beware for Reason DAW users.
*by L***C on January 4, 2025*

Me being new to controllers, I did a solid month of comparisons, researching reviews, unboxing/feature videos, yada yada.... This always seemed to float to the top of everything within budget range. Even with holiday sales factoring in everything, I still bought this at full-price versus cheaper discounted products just due to quality of life perks and features that all seemed to make sense. My only gripe, which was kind of expected, but now realized, is that if you're not using a very popular DAW that is already in mind with auto-configurations from Novation, it may take some time and firmware updates to make everything less glitchy with the manual Remote/override signals. For example, my Reason 13 official integration works perfectly, but I was curious why it wasn't as out-of-the-box feature filled in mapping versus the other DAW integrations such as Ableton utilizing all the knobs and faders. I figured no problem and just manually add them on my own with the auto-learning. The signals between Reason and the hardware are being detected manually, but it is very flaky as of this writing (Jan '24), and a mapped fader for instance, only decides to work intermittently in the editor and playback. It's not a timing or latency issue, since the miniscule few Reason mappings out of the box are working perfectly fine (transport, track change, undo/play/record/stop, quantize and pads). So I'm assuming they ran into the same issues I have with the knobs and faders and decided to work on it more for a (hopefully) future bios/firmware update.
