This board works excellent with pro tools and all of the virtual instruments. Priced right to. If you need a controller for your virtual instruments, there is no reason to hesitate. I actually bought the axiom 25, then upgraded to the 61 because it was so useful and pleasant to play.

Finally M-audio

M-audio always has great ideas, but they usually execute them poorly. Finally, they are able to do a great job in the execution of this idea. Great keyboard, controls, and value. This keyboard is wonderful at such low price.

not for 64 bit

M audio does not make a 64 bit driver for this, and sounds like it has no plans to provide one on their website. Sending it back. Customer Service was poor.

Great Keyboard for the Home Studio
Posted by GonotheBrave from Oklahoma on Jun 14, 2009

I bought this keyboard while I was buying the rest of my home studio equipment. So far I will say that I am generally pretty satisfied with my purchase. I use it primarily within apple's logic and main stage. And not a problem. Works Great. Doesn't feel to cheap. Like some of the lesser expensive controllers feel like. The after-touch is lovely. The usb cable that came with it feels pretty heavy duty although not that terribly long.

2 cons: (that I notice)

The trigger pads are not sensitive enough and just over all not super useful.

The USB port on the back looks like it could break easily. (Gotta be careful)

Great little keyboard. I wouldn't think twice about buying this sturdy little keyboard.
