Review: Gets the D hard! - Excellent buy for the price. So, maybe it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that more expensive rigs have, but for the price you get a solid quality rig that will take care of just about anything you can think of asking for within reason. I currently have mine hooked up to an M4 iPad, using Logic Pro for iPad. The setup is extremely versatile, portable and comes through like a champ in all sorts of situations. It’s rugged as a white rhinoceros. I bought it as a holdover until I can scrape enough $ to get a Fantom 8 EX. I’m very pleased, and starting to wonder if I really need to drop 4 & 1/2 bars down for a Fantom 8 EX.
Review: Very Pleasantly Surprised by This Keyboard! - I bought this Nektar GXP61 for stage performance. It is controlling a Yamaha Motif Rack ES that's loaded with Yamaha's PLG150 Acoustic Modeling synth board. I use this rig, along with a breath controller, as an electronic wind instrument to play woodwind - sax and flute - parts. With the right keyboard this combination produces amazingly realistic results. The Nektar GXP61 is one of the "right" keyboards for this, with an old-school DIN connector for MIDI (it also has USB MIDI, but the Motif Rack Synth can't use it), it can be powered with a power supply (in addition to USB power), it has velocity, channel aftertouch, pitch and modulation wheels and can send program change commands to the synth to change voices/programs. I had been using a Nord Stage 3 Compact for this application, but it replaced it with a Nord Piano that's missing aftertouch, pitch and modulation wheels. There are very few low-cost controllers that have all those features. Here is the surprising part - all of the controller functions, the key bed feel, the aftertouch, and the wheel controllers work great. The default keyboard velocity curve is perfect for me. The key feel is about 80% as good as the Nord Stage 3 Compact and the aftertouch response is actually better; It's an amazing value for the price. I bought this keyboard for a very specific, narrow application, but after seeing its greater potential I think I'll also use it and my iPad (with a virtual instrument app) as an ultra-light performance rig for jams and rehearsals.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent 88 key keyboard for the price point.
*by H***N on November 2, 2022*

For the price point this is an excellent 88 key keyboard. Because it has minimalist DAW controls, it is designed more for playing the keyboard as a piano versus a midi controller. The keys are "almost" full size, are semi-weighted and have after touch. The keyboard has a solid build and weighs almost 20 pounds. Although it is portable, it's not a keyboard that you will want to carry more than necessary. The only negative, and the reason that I did not rate this as a 5 Star review, is the keybed. IT IS STRAIGHT UP NOISY! When playing with any volume, (keyboard or other instruments), the noise in noticeable, but tolerable. However, when playing solo, especially on softer pieces, the keyboard can become an issue because of the "clanky-squeaky" noise of the keybed. However, for an 88 key under $300, it is an EXCELLENT value, and one that I would recommend.
