But I think the inclusion of Arturia analog lab 5 pro makes this controller stand out and become the best for value around, it's all you need to start producing and recording music straight away in one package, and there's more free stuff included if that's still not enough for you. It's such a comprehensive package, (I paid less than £200 from desertcart), and for less than £200, you won't beat it's value. I am very happy with my purchase and so far can honestly say it's all pro's and no cons. Terrific value, top class product, and an all in one solution to music production for beginner or pro. Review: Great value keyboard especially with the included bundle of Arturia synths - Nice to use, plastic but sturdy and nice action on knobs and faders. Good integration with Arturia VSTs and easy to set up to control Native Instruments macro controls too.
