Unique software/hardware integration and great software bundle
0 of 1 found this helpful I'd rate this 4.5 out of 5 stars only because the integration with Ableton Live doesn't allow me to fully leverage the unique integration that is possible with Native Instruments' Maschine or Komplete software.
The included software is great for having a wide variety of playable instruments in all kinds of musical genres, and for leveraging the keyboard's software/hardware integration. For example, with the included Massive synth, each sound comes with 8 macro knobs that are automatically assigned to the keyboard's 8 knobs, and correctly labeled. It is simple to play and manipulate sounds without ever having to look at the computer screen.
However, the included software is not like Maschine, which provides a poor man's DAW - a means to record, play back, edit, and mix musical scores. The included Komplete software requires another DAW (like Maschine, Ableton Live, Logic, etc.) in order to record, play back, edit, and mix your music.
The keyboard has to be hooked up to a computer. Alone, it is worthless. It has no on-board sounds or sound-output ports/hardware. Like other controller keyboards, this is how it was intentionally designed.
The multicolored LEDs on each key are a great way to color-code your instruments and help with playing scales in different keys (like the key of F major or A# minor). There are other controller keyboards out there that have more knobs, pads, and sliders, but what is unique to this instrument is the ability to flawlessly integrate with the software by color-coding and by context-sensitive knob labeling.
I'm extremely happy with this purchase and I have no regrets and no desire to purchase a different competing technology.

Can’t recommend. Don’t rip this to MP3.
0 of 2 found this helpful I’m afraid I can’t recommend this for two reasons:
1) The reenactments focus on the dialogue between the characters but often omit many important narratives that add depth to the story.
2) the contents on the disks are an absolute mess. If you listen to them in a CD player, they’re fine. But if you rip them to MP3 to put them on your phone, the names of the chapters are often wrong, the titles of the books are often wrong, and the end result is a useless mess. You cannot trust that what you see is what you’ll get.
