    A Great Purchase!

    • Written by from Lansing

    I've been using this keyboard for around 3 years. I was a music major in college and used this mainly for writing purposes. It syncs perfectly with Garageband and is perfect for synth/drum use. The touch on this is a little off. You have to be careful when using strings or piano on this because of the touch. After about two years of hard use, some of the keys started to get sticky, but it's probably because of all the miles it's got on it. Don't get this keyboard if you're looking for perfect sensitivity or weighted/semi-weighted keys. It's a great midi controller. Alongside Garageband, this keyboard is great for anyone doing solo work or small projects. Anything more professional, look at the 61 keystation or atleast one with weighted keys. …More

    What a great keyboard

    • Written by from Moreno Valley

    I recently purchased a 24" IMac. After 17 years as a PC user I'll never go back to a PC. I bought this keyboard to work with Garageband on my IMAC, and I must say it is fantastic. I played music on the IMac for hours. This keyboard is simple to use just plug & play and is anesthetically pleasing to the eyes. For someone like me who is new to music, this keyboard in conjunction with Garageband you can make all kinds of music, simple and fun. For the price you can't go wrong, oh by the way for those few who said this keyboard doesn't work with Leopord, they are wrong, just plug & play!!!! …More

    Great and easy to use

    • Written by from vancouver

    This is a compact, plug and play device, just my type of equipment. Although some times if I started garage band before the midi controller is turned on, it shows some problems such as all keys are in sustain mode and I have to reboot the midi controller. Nevertheless it is great. …More

    Has ceased to work with Snow Leopard on a new iMac

    • Written by from Brussels

    The keyboard still works fine on my old Mackbook Pro with Garageband, but for some reason is not even detected on my new iMac with Mac OS 10.6.8 (unless I first turn on the Keyboard, and then turn on the iMac, but then it is only detected, but does still not work - i.e. no signal detected). Any clues on what I should do? …More
