Comparison/Preference

[Romain Xavier]

Hi, I just bought the Key Step pro !  I know … I know .. I don’t like small keys … 

However, since the last firmware update most of the issues mentioned are fixed imo.

The only things that I am missing are : 
Setting midi channels by Project
Being able to choose which midi port to use for the channel(s) wanted.
Till now I m very satisfied ! It s portable but I was quite surprised about its weight.
