Son coté tout plastique fait un peu toc mais fait le job , répond bien , mais les touches sont trop petite à mon gout pour du live j'ai du coup un autre clavier pour du "vrai" jeu et celui ci pour des manip plus prod ou automatisés
l'arpégiator est sympas
Je le reconfigure pour une utilsation sur ableton

Il fait son job... mais les touches sont vraiment petites je n'utilise plus que l'arpegiateur sur ce clavier je préfère jouer et composer sur un clavier plus large.

Ce mini-clavier est vraiment pratique : petit donc facilement transportable pour des répéts et concerts, et on peut arriver à composer très vite des musiques avec un logiciel comme Ableton Live. Perso, je n'utilise pas les échantillons. Par contre, la connectique USB est assez fragile, ne pas le laisser aux mains des enfants.
