Great keyboard, but, sadly, the critical software will not install on Vista! Despite the claim that it has been remedied. CB

This is a great midi keyboard for anyone trying to get into digital music production, I like the sleek form factor and the keys and buttons feel great. The keyboard is plug and play, there is no need to install any additional drivers just plug it in and open Pro Tools or your Digital Audio Workstation of choice and you should be good to go. I was already using Pro Tools M-Powered Essential on a Vista 64 Bit system when I got this and it worked as advertised. Being able to play the virtual instruments included in Pro Tools with a keyboard has made the entire production process much easier and much more fun.
I like the Pro tools software and it runs smoothly on my system. I never feel like the software is holding me back, whatever I can think of, I feel I can create. With that being said, it is not the full version of pro tools. It is more like a lite version, designed to introduce you to the brand and eventually persuade you to upgrade. I would recommend this package to any aspiring digital musician, even if you decide you don’t like the software, the hardware can be used with almost any DAW and so the purchase still retains its value.

This is an excellent USB keyboard. It works great with Win XP x86. It claims to be compatable with Vista but does not work with Vista. It does not work with XP 64 bit, Vista Ultimate, Windows 7 64bit ultimate. I never used the software tools that came with it. I used my own notation software called Encore 5. It has done an excellent job so far.
