I've seen/played this controller, also. I don't generally like weighted controllers, so I'm not the best person to ask, but the build quality seemed very good. It has lots of programmable knobs and sliders. Haven't actually tried to program it, so can't say how easy it would be. I did notice that the control panel includes a keypad, which is always a good sign for accessible programming of gear.

The one I have now does not have knobs and faders. I am looking for one that has knobs and faders so I can get the most out of Gariton Personal Orchestra. It definitely has to have 88 keys since I'm a pianist. Any suggestions? I have about five hundred dollars. What can I get for that price? Does anyone know how I would set up this controler to make GPO do what I want it to do? Is that what midi ack learn is all about? May the peace of God which passes all understanding gard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. God bless you!
