ROLANDA-300Pro Usb Midi Keyboard Controller - Black

First things first..if you are looking for an auto-mapping keyboard for your DAW look elsewhere, and pay more.If you want Roland quality midi-control on a budget and are happy to map out your own settings, and it is supplied with Rolands own mapping software where you can create different templates if need be, then this is for you.Two pedal inputs on side, super programmable with split and dual keyboard functions as well as usual transpose etc etc. Ten assignable rotary controls and nine assignable sliding faders as well as an eight pad drum section and full transport control. Full velocity sensitive weighted keys with aftertouch is nice too. Comes with a couple of GM2 lables you can put around the rotaries and sliders so you can utilise midi fully which is handy, glued min in with a dab of contact adhesive as they will go missing rapidly otherwise.I haven't looked at the ACT function, think it may be for recallable templates ??, or used it so couldn't tell you but the rest is spot on. Some will want auto mapping and others won't care and if you don't then go for it

works great controlling Sonar x3, or playing direct to sound modules

Good Product worth the money...

I have other products from Roland that are brilliant, however this controller/surface does not do what it should do in regards to it's claimed control surface abilities.
