Meets my expectations, I am delighted. Just a bit tricky during installation. The little plus is that it works very well with my iPad.

With the different possible configurations of each PAD and rotary button, it's a real Swiss army knife live, a very nice remote control.

Magnificent keyboard of remarkable quality .... just missing a small manual that would explain a minimum of things: for example how to start on Ableton step by step and how to use the sounds of Analog 4 and 5 on Ableton + how to start on Ableton via the Minilab.... how to assign an instrument per pad and play while recording loops in Ableton.... Apart from that, bravo... it's a superb machine....

good quality keyboard and the free software delivered with it (analog lab lite) is excellent. there are plenty of keyboard and synth sounds available and you can modify them in many ways. works as a module in garageband. plug and play.

Super small master keyboard! Easy to use, lots of rotary knobs and pads for my drum beats. I use it every day! AND French brand please!

I have used quite a few master keyboards...
An old Roland EP7 piano used as MIDI, an Alesis VI61, an M-Audio Keystation 49, an Akai LPK25, an Akai APC KEY25, an M-Audio Oxygen, and finally this one...
- Keyboard quality: 8/10:
Great feel! The black keys are a bit rough, I love that! Compared to the Akai APC Key25 and the Akai LPK25 (a low-price reference), this keyboard is great, the keys are dynamic and their travel has a click, whereas the Akai ones are soft and totally linear and hard to reach the bottom of the travel (very unpleasant feeling). However, no aftertouch...
- Keyboard size: 3/10: It's compact format, but already slightly bigger than the Akai... So for travel it's nice, but I would have preferred a 32-key version... Too bad there's only a 25-key version... And also too bad it doesn't exist in regular size, because then the Keylab 25 costs a lot more and is a bit old, and the newer cheaper Keylab Essentials haven't been released in 25...
Pitch-bend and modulation: 1/10: A touch version, it's interesting, but as you can imagine, it's disappointing compared to real wheels... Already if you rest your palm accidentally when moving the knobs, it activates one or the other directly... And the feeling is disappointing and the control imprecise.
Knobs: 1/10:
Extremely disappointed... Knobs without travel can be practical, but these are not precise at all. Already, 2 times out of 3 when I touch one it goes directly to extreme values as if it was a knob with defined travel... Then, it's extremely difficult to manage the first two knobs to navigate and click to select a preset... And for good reason: the knobs are not linear, if I slowly turn a knob continuously I can see small jumps, small backward steps,... And their control is too broad: You have to turn a knob too many times for the one on screen to finish its travel, so live it's impossible to manage effects smoothly since you start "screwing" the knobs frenetically... Oh and what a bad idea to use knobs to move and click in the preset list... ESPECIALLY when these are the first 2 knobs side by side and look the same as all the other knobs used for controls!! So when you take the 3rd knob to want to manage the third knob on screen, you actually manage the 2nd knob since the first real one is a selection knob... It's stupid and annoying daily. You don't get used to it because you have to count at a glance...
- Pads: 1/10: Their only positive point is that they are lit with many colors (Although the "white" looks like pink, so no color is really pretty...) If you want good pads, move on. Half the time the pad doesn't light up unless you hit like crazy... Same to keep the pad active, you have to press your finger as if you wanted to pierce the keyboard...
Functionality management: 0/10. Totally bad, nothing is understandable, even reading the manual online (because not included in the box), it's hard to understand if you don't know exactly what changing a note signal to a CC signal is for, what the different MIDI banks are for, the MIDI channels, and how the controller's preset banks work...
Nothing is explained, only the super complicated way to do it which is not noted mostly on the controller... Oh and the 8th preset intended for Ableton doesn't work at all in my case since I have to assign each knob myself to different functions like track volumes (Whereas all master keyboard manufacturers with knobs or faders provide buttons to switch from "Device" mode (manage an instrument), to "Volume" mode (manage track volumes), "Pan" etc... Here no, you have to do everything yourself and it's hard to change easily... Only the pads work automatically to launch clips, but since there's only one row, you can't stop clips (it's dumb...)
Software level it's meh... Already not easy to install, but then I supposedly get a Piano Model D, but I have no code, no download link even on my Arturia account, and on the site it just offers to buy it for over 70...
Regarding design: Why make it WHITE? It's not only ugly, but it ages very badly... On the other hand, the wood imitation inlay on the side edges is not bad: the feel is realistic, but the texture is pixelated (Yeah! It's dumb, if it was a better defined texture, you'd really think it's wood...)
