Verdict
Pros
Does its job perfectly. Built to last. Excellent audio quality. Bright and clear indicator panels. Optimised for the leading DAW software.
Cons
Only available in a bundle with Ableton Live. Slightly inadequate scroll wheel.
The bottom line
An excellent all-round interface. However, bundling it with Live and raising the price is a mistake.
