Touch strips vs wheels for pitch/mod (if that's an issue for you, look at NI's A series keyboards). Not full size keys (though that doesn't bother me) Touch sensitive encoder knobs with display Pitch and mod wheels are replaced by touch strips - probably because the unit isn't deep enough to fit full size wheels in.Įndless encoders (as opposed to limited knobs, so you can adjust things from where they are instead of jumping to the knob position when you alter something). Keyboard keys are smaller than full size, but entirely usable (and bigger than some other micro keyboards), and I'm happy with the feel. You can navigate your DAW and browse sounds with the big encoder knob (which also works as a push button).įor other buttons, enabled ones light up, and active ones light up brighter. The 8 small encoder knobs are touch sensitive, so you can touch a knob and the 2 line display will show you the value you're adjusting.
