Te buttons below the faders are used to select tracks (or the back and forward buttons) and YOU? You needed to set up nothing but select Cubase with two clicks! All you did was long press the DAW button and scroll to select Cubase Mode. The ninth fader is set up for Master Out and the other veight faders are set up for valume for a bank of the first eight tracks, you can jump or scroll to the next bank of 8 etc. All you do is long press the DAW button and scroll for your DAW - done.įor Cubase you get dedicated buttons for transport, undo, solo, mut, record, read, write. Ableton is favoured (again what is this?). There are pre- programmed custom set ups for each DAW. As expected, this is dedicated to your DAW. Of course you can make changes in the hardware's VDU but this is tiny.

The only frustration I have found, is that the MIDI COntroller wont work with other instruments loaded, so you have to make your modifications in silence. Electric pianos, Organs, Strings and samplers are all set up for you with the knobs clearly labelled and modifiable. Using Analogue labs 24 Analog synthesizers. This gives a picture of the keyboard and all the knobs are assignable within.

The best way to control these is in the software - MIDI COntrol Centre. The sounds of these synths are top of the line. The first button maps the keyboard to work seemlessly with Analog Lab. The keyboard is set up around three central buttons: "Analog Lab", "DAW" and "User". I really like the way Arturia has thought this all out. I give the V pianos 8.5 / 10, but I think I will be using Pianoteq. However, after some tweaking of teh velocity curves I got better results. I did find that out of the box the V2 paino's did not work well with the keyboard.

I need a proper action and full expressitivity. I am spoilt by my Roland and have very high stands here. This is hammer action and after touch sensitive. It has old skool MIDI and USB, it has a power input, but oyu do not need this if you are using USB. If this is not enough for you it even has 4 special inputs for real analogue synths (which I do not understand).

Not only does it have expression and control inputs (also assignable), but no less than three extra aux pedal inputs, all assignable. I had one pot with a slight haptic crunch (ever so slight), I notified Arturia and have decided to live with it and see if it goes.The buttons are perfect, the 16 drum pads are velocity and after touch sensitive (I can't judge them as I am not a finger drummer) the nine faders are also very good quality and work smooth and quiet. They are far better than say M AUdio or Korg Stuff, but not quite as good as my Roland, which would be happy after an elephant sat on it. Overall the knonbs and faders get a solid 8/10 here. It looks great in white and also comes in black. Its not quite plug and play as Arturia claims, but once you tweak Mackie Control it works great. DO follow to the letter and you should be fine. However, once I found the correct instructions here:, it took about 5 minutes. To be honest I could not ffind the right instructions on the web, so I was fiddling around. Oh and there is Ableton Light, whatever that is. If you were to buy all this from Arturia, it would cost you more than the price of thev keyboard. Click on a feature (fader, button etc) and assign).

You also get a full version of a VOx Continental, A full version of a Wurli, Piano V2 - 12 modelled pianos, and something called MIDI control centre an excellent on screen controller of your hardware. First there is Analog Lab 5 - that's 6500 sounds rightv there - all instantly mapped to the keyboard. I think I have just found its successor, and for £750 UK!īefore we even go into the (great) details of the keyboard, its worth mentioning the bundled software. I have tried to replace it with Nords and with its successor the RD 2000 but it did not work here. This board cost me £3500 back in the day. If it was going to be replaced, it was because it is a stage piano and is very limited as a controller keyboard. I have a wonderful old Roland 700NX, which has a fantastic piano action and a very decent concert grand sound. I spent more time on set up than I did no using these things, often things just would not work, after days of trying. Nightmarish set ups and general flakiness, things just not happening when they should and as far as keboard controllers go, kebeds that play like toys. I have had lots of gear through my studio, Korg Nanos, M Audiio gear, Necktars, Akais and more, but all have dissapointed. Like many, I have been on the quest for a satsfying controller/controller keyboard, for some time.
