Terrific advance from my earlier midi controllers and keyboards. Excellent integration with Bundled Software (Ableton etc) , Logic Pro and VCV Rack 2 Modular Synth. All controls worked seemlessly.

Spend a long time deciding on what 61 keyboard to purchase. Fantastic bundle offering and great reviews of the Essential 61 went to it. Keyboard look, feel and plays great. Would recommend. And once again amazing service from Andertons...

Great product. It's well built, excellent value for money and comes with the brilliant Analog Lab software. That alone is probably worth the money.

Great instrument, software would cost more than the keyboard. Sounds great , easy to set up even for a novice like me.

Mr David Martin23rd Aug 2021

Compatible with all the V keyboards I have. Easy to set up. When idle, the buttons randomly light up in cool displays. The velocity keyboard takes a bit of getting use to, having played on weighted keys only, but once mastered, after a few attempts, they are a doddle to controll a 'soft' touch to a 'hard' touch. A wonderful machine. Looks classy too.
