Reviewed in Germany on December 2, 2021
Sind meine ersten Medi Keys und produziere mit Logic. Funktioniert alles einwandfrei, auch wenn für Anfänger der Einstieg etwas schwerer fallen könnte (da recht komplexes Keyboard). Mir als 3-wöchiger Neuling wurde ziemlich schnell klar, dass dieses Keyboard mir noch viele Jahre Freude bereiten wird. Die Pads und Tasten haben eine gute Empfindlichkeit im Anschlag. Das ganze Keyboard macht einen soliden und hochwertigen Eindruck.
Kann es bis hierher nur empfehlen.
