Just what I needed

Basic and solid controller for price
I use it as a controller for recording and parameter control with virtuals and within the Native Instruments environmentcontrol. One still has to map most instrument parameters.

Foir its price range and basic use as a controller - its fantastic. I had to send the first unit I received back as it had no firmware - blank screen. replacement was fine. Samson does make you pay your own shipping if you go through them for service and warranty issues.

Nice board; nice price!
This is a great board that works flawlessly with my VB3 organ software. The knobs and sliders work fine; this thing was a breeze to set up. The keybed and action are fine; maybe just a bit better than what you might expect at this pricepoint. It's also a bit heavy, which probably indicates a very good build quality.

Bang for the buck
I bought this to control IK Multimedias B3X for iPad. Works great. Plenty of sliders, rotary pots, and buttons. 4 zones, easy learning curve for basics. Could use some better documentation and another octave of playing keys.
