A-500S
By Fulcrum DubNBass
I absolutely recommend this Midi keyboard to anyone who has Abelton, Fruityloops, or any other of those producer software programs. The A-500S may not have all the whistles and bells of the other more expensive editions, but those aren't needed it you already have the software. I personally use the midi board with Fruityloops and I love it. So much easier to make audio clips and to record. You can set specific fx effects to different keys. I love it! 5 stars!

It's next to perfect!
By droidsauce
I'm enjoying this MIDI controller immensely. It's the perfect size to go above my keyboard and mouse and in front of my monitor making for quick access to editing and other tools. I have nothing negative to say about this product so far. It arrived on time and for a decent price. I would recommend it to anyone.
