My friend has that exact controller and he loves it. Granted, it's his first piece too, but he has it hooked into Ableton Live and makes masterpieces.

Do you have any prior keyboard/piano experience?

For sure. I want to get into producing but I don't know much about keyboards..My friend has played piano for years so he knows a shitload.

I may try to have him teach me some basics. How do you like your controller?
