I have used other Arturia keyboards and this was not up to their standards. I don't understand reviews that state the action is great. It is not by any measure. I have been a pianist for over 60 years and played most every brand out there and have never encountered this type of feel. It's sluggish and stiff. I replaced this with a Roland Rd-88 and there is no comparison. While the Roland doesn't feel like my Baldwin Grand, at least it is playable. Also, the included software is crippled. Arturia has an odd take on expression pedals in that you can't assign the pedal in their software instruments to anything other than what they designate. So it can't be used to control volume unless that is built into their patch. And oddly, the expression pedal as a volume control is not used in hardly any of their patches. Also the software included is not full the full versions - kept getting the message of must have full version to edit these parameters. Overall this is not very usable keyboard. The Roland I replaced it with blows it out of the water.
