 The Best Action December 7, 2007

Don't be fooled by the price, this thing has a better action than any other keyboard out there. The features are super basic, but the action is so much better than m-audio, it's a joke. It is lighter on top, towards heavier on the bottom (graded hammer action.) Also, it has volume and sustain pedal inputs. This piece is not made in China like almost every competitor: this is strictly Italian manufacturing.
 Fantastic! January 3, 2008

I simply cannot understand why more manufacturers don't make 88-key hammer-action controllers. But even without much in the way of competition, the 990-XP is still a fantastic piece of equipment.
MIDI controllers are the future. Today's standard, off-the-shelf computers are affordable and fully capable of generating software-based piano sounds that are simply terrific. All you need is a MIDI controller like this one that has a great, realistic piano action. You pair it with a decent computer with a $90 soundcard, add some good software (a lot of which is free online) and you have it all. You can make your own recordings with studio quality, tweak the results, do the editing, everything. All you need is the time and the talent. The technology is here. This controller is your first component in that system. The action is amazing, far better than you'll get with a full-blown keyboard. Those keyboards are stocked with all kinds of bells and whistles that you don't need that a computer can do better anyway.
The 990-XP is also built like a tank. Metal, not plastic.
