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: great value for the price and decent key bed feel - My primary love is jazz piano, but I also play gigs with bands which requires other virtual instruments such as Hammond, lead synths and pads. The GXP line (mine's an 88) uses a semi-weighted keyboard. It has several velocity curves available which I further modify within my acoustic piano app (Pianoteq). With these modifications and practice, it results in a very usable keyboard for acoustic piano. The keybed is perfect as is for Hammond and synth sounds. It is lightweight but sturdy and well built. There are 14 midi assignable buttons as well as transport controls if I use it with my DAW (Logic Pro). It's all laid out in a very logical and easy to understand manner.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great value for the price and decent key bed feel

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.
