Arturia CS-80 V 2.0 Virtual Instrument Software Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Imagine the Hollywood star that for years has been your vision of a perfect mate. One day, decades later, you wake up, and she (or he if the shoe fits) is in bed right next to you, snoring with morning breath - still cute though. That's my assessment of the CS-80V. I was a teenager in 1976 when I first...

Novation Remote 25 SL 2-Octave Soft Label USB MIDI Keyboard Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I just purchased the Novation 25 SL used for $130 on Ebay.I must say it is a great value for the money. When you use this little keyboard with Novation's Automap software, you can control most DAWs (such as Ableton and even Protools) in a primitive way, not like a full-blown surface controller, but you...

Yamaha SB79 Silent Brass System for Trumpet Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This thing is great if you need to practice without bothering folks in the next room. I used this quite a bit in college. The echo effects are fun to play around with and the pickup doesn't distort tone as much as I had anticipated. This device produces a lot more back pressure than advertised; just...

Casio WK200 76 Key Personal Keyboard Package (With Stand, Headphones and Power Supply) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I love this keyboard, have had it for just over a month and enjoy it a lot. We bought it for home use. It's our first electronic keyboard so I cannot compare it to others. There are many useful and entertaining features such as the large selection of 570 tones (instruments), many of which sound quite...

Casio CTK-481 Keyboard with Adapter & Song Books Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)First, I will list the few advantages that this keyboard does have. It has a very large song bank which is a pretty nice feature. It also comes with a song book for these songs in the song bank. This is about the only advantage for this keyboard. The several disadvantages are that it just feels cheaply...

Steinway Virtual Concert Grand Standard Version Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The only thing that beats this product is actually sitting at a recently tuned quality grand in a nice room. I got so excited by this sample set that I bought a 3 pedal controller so I can feel even more like I'm playing an actual piano. I only wish this had been available in the late 1970's when I got...

Yamaha DGX300 Electronic Keyboard Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Considering the price of this keyboard, it is of very good quality. It sounds 80% like a real piano and feels 70% like the real one (the keys are still a little too light). And like many have reviewed this keyboard, I also feel the sound is not "loud" enough. I have to turn the volumn close to max in...

Matrix MR-800 Quartz Metronome Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This metronome is a great product but needs a volume control. The knocks and chimes keep perfect time, but are at full volume. There is no way to reduce the volume in situations that require it. If not for the lack of this feature I'd give it a 5.Click Here to see more reviews about: Matrix MR-800 Quartz...

Yamaha NP-V80 76-key Piaggero Keyboard Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I'm a professional keyboard player. I needed something light to take to practice and small solo gigs, but it needed to have at least 76 keys. My 88-key weighted controller is a lot to move, and 61 keys aren't sufficient for classical music. Generally speaking, the only choices for 76-key unweighted keyboards...

Planet Waves Tru-Strobe Tuner Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a great strobe tuner. I really expected a plastic meter for the price I payed but I was pleasently surprised when I opened the box. It was "heavy metal." The thing weighs what seems like a couple of pounds and works great. Thanks loads.Click Here to see more reviews about: Planet Waves Tru-Strobe...
