delirium - btw, wat are your thoughs of the CME UF50 controllers? i ask becuase CME has breathcontroller input for my old BC2 (yamaha breathcontroller).

im reading mixed reviews online so... i know it's not the highest quality but that BC input is appealing...

for super portability i have a LPK25 in my computer bag. hahahaha. comes in handy when i want to jot in some musical notes in my MBP. :)

yeah, I was considering 25 keys version as well of impulse but can you play Chopin on 25 keys???????????
37 keys controller would be better but they don't so anymore :(

unfortunately it looked better on the picture then in reality, going back to store.
Poor quality overall but keybed and pads quite good. Also unnecessary too big and bulky.

hey thanks for the feedback. sorry to hear it did not meet your expectations.

i had a m-audio axiom a while back (already sold) and it was of decent quality. maybe their unit might be better (?) something about these made-in-china crap... never know wat you get until you see it in person.

I had once CME U-Key because I needed something light quick for travel and this thing was not good.
Like o toy with 1 key bad right out of the box. This company has very unreliable history and bad reviews
everywhere so be careful. I don't know UF50 unfortunately. Their new Z-key looks interesting and actually
I have preordered 49 keys version for testing, we'll see.
