First there was a bit of disappointment as the wireless dongle didn't work with direct connection to my organs, but it works well using a computer as a USB hub. It seems that midi instruments (at least mine Roland BK-5, VR-09, Yamaha YC) don't provide power supply to the wireless USB dongle. Nevertheless, it worked well via midi cable. However, I successfully programmed the sliders to function as organ drawbars (connected to yamaha reface YC). Then I went a step further - I used a raspberry PI as an USB hub (some programming needed, everything's available on internet - if you're not into PI, you can buy a USB hub). Now I'm able to use wireless connection to any of my organs. Honestly, Alessis never promised that the wireless would work direct with midi instruments. Yes, it works with a little add-on. Verdict: It's a versatile device. The keybed is not bad at all, but I wish the sliders didn't have such a cheap feel. Overall, the body is made from nice painted plastic so it has a touch of quality and prestige :).

Excellent keytar device. I am using it with a yamaha md bt01 bluetooth midi adapter attached to the 5 midi DIN. The built in wireless is kind of unuseful with this dongle, which is not recognized by any of my synthesizers. Excellent build quality. I like it a lot

Neměl jsem od nástroje příliš velké očekávání, ale celkově nemám úplně špatný dojem. Vše bylo pěkně zabalené v krabici. Nástroj je lehký a nepůsobí příliš robustně. Výrobce zvolil materiál krytu lesklý plast, takže je na něm vidět každý omak. Lze propojit přes USB kabelem nebo bezdrátově přes USB klíčenku. Vše fungovalo na první dobrou bez nutnosti nastavování. K modifikování ovladačů a dalšího nastavení slouží SW, který je ke stažení po zaregistrování. Download nějak nefungoval, ale nakonec se zadařilo. Součástí balení je i popruh přes rameno. Jakožto kytaristu mě zajímala možnost použití zámků na popruh. Pokud někomu nevadí trvale připevněný pás, může použít strap blocky od Fendera - plastové podložky, které zamezí vytržení pásu z rolny. Jinak rolny jsou připevněné hodně slabými vruty a délka závitu uvnitř není snad ani centimetr. Když nástroj visí na krku, popruh poněkud brání levé ruce ve hře na klaviatuře. Při bezdrátovém propojení mi připadá, že nástroj má trochu delší latency, ale pro mé účely v pohodě. Celkově to za ty peníze stojí. Předpokládám, že pokud chce někdo na keytaru provádět virtuozity, sáhne po Rolandu AX.
