yeah, sunsynth, it's a ultra-economic piee of gear, so you can't expect but poor materials, but it's VERY well designed and VERY complete!

I mean the knobs are small plastic ones, the faders are just a little bit better - buttons are very small - everything very small good for japanese people but not so good for europeans. Controls move and react very good anyway and they are well-displaced, small but distant.

Buttons act both as momentoary or toggles so you can assign them to lots of functionalities in sequencers or a plugin. From mute/solo to MIDI notes, everything. It already has a myriad of patches for all major audio sequencers like LIVE, CUBASE, LOGIC, etc EVEN a FRUITY LOOP patch. You can customise almost everything, so now that I have opened he editor (vry good piece of software too) I realised my schemes are almost useless... eh eh

Did't test it for speed, responsiveness is still uncertain, but using in SM is very clean and precise values are sent from the machine to my plugs, so I guess it's very good at that too. Agian didn't test the speed, I will do that soon as I want to know if it can drive track volume changes with sufficient speed, certainly it is PERFECT to control virtual effects and instruments parameters as that does not require particular precision.

Not a professional controller but it has an impressive price/quality balance! I tend to use these kind of gear for live performances, as if I break one one of those or if it is stolen - no worry! The Korg bag (sold separately) is really wonderful dark teal and robust!! 😉
