I have a Radium 49. It is ok for use of softsynths, but dont expect to program drums well with it. I am using it with the RM-IV and PlugSounds and can't get the expressiveness I want. With that said, I am currently in the market for a Triton or Fantom.... so for me, this keyboard was basically ok for a while, but has left me wanting more. (A real workstation vs. DAW.) Not all controllers are this way I am sure, but it feels like a toy.

the thing just decided not to turn on anymore, and was completely unusable

I just purchased this keyboard...and it's about a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10.

Keys don't react too well to touch as you would want them too.

The 16 assignable knobs are for the most part unusable since the sensativity is so high (ie. in fruity loops, when I want to switch to a differnt patch in a soundfont, the slider and knobs go from patch 1 to patch 5, even with the slightest touch.) Makes for a very annoying experience, since I like to use knobs and all...lol.

I feel like I got cheated by buying this keyboard, but it's better than not having a keyboard at all. I hope this helps you in your decision to buy midi controller. What I am planning to get and reccomend you purchase.... the roland a-37 midi controler keyboard (with 76 keys). It's the closest to a DAW with a fraction of the price. Thats my Two cents!!!
