## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use this with any daw like for studio?**
A: Yes. Easily.

**Q: Does it comes with the software of over 6,000 sounds?**
A: It does! It comes with Analog Lab which is $200 by itself. Keep in mind though that “Analog Lab” is a streamlined version of “Arturia V - Collection”. So while it has many presets of classic analog gear you have to have “V-Collection” to access all of the parameters of each VST. V-Collection is $500.

**Q: Is this shipped in a brown cardboard box Or white? I received mine in brown box whereas all unboxing videos have the box in white!**
A: I received mine in a brown cardboard box with the keyboard printed on the outside. Could be a rebranding?

**Q: Does this come with the wires?**
A: Only with the USB cable

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Fantastic Controller
  

*by P***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2024*

I have used dozens of 88 key controllers over the decades.. I was reluctant because this one was so inexpensive. But, I was looking for a controller for a single keyboard rig that felt good playing piano parts as well as synth lines. The only thing that has a little kludgey is the editing software. It works well enough after you figure it out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    I'm a newb, but this has a great feel to it!
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2024*

I'm just starting to learn piano and play with software synths before I buy any dedicated synth hardware. So I am no expert judge of midi controllers, but the feel is great. Not a hammer action feel, you won't be fooled you're playing a real piano, which is a good thing if you want to play synths, but it's touch sensitivity allows for quite expressive piano playing with a good piano emulation VST or even some Android piano apps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    I'm Excited
  

*by A***I on Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2022*

Before purchasing this Arturia Key Board product, I did research and also received feedback from a music producer. I opened it did, excellent condition, works but of course need to place its attachment. Nice size & durable. ▪︎Once I begin with continual use, I will add more helpful comments. But at this time, no regrets to a reputable piece.
