Needed to upgrade my midi keyboard and found this fantastic “B stock” offer. Delivery was fantastic - I wasn’t going to be in for next day delivery so I called the store and organised for a specific day at no extra cost. Simple but great customer service. Those wary of “B stock”, don’t be! The keyboard works as new. There’s a few marks on the under side and rear of the keyboard but other than that, you simply wouldn’t know any different compared to a brand new version. I primarily use a keyboard for notation software (Dorico) but the Alesis clearly has the capability to be used for much more than that. Glad I bought this for future options. For now, I’ve assigned a few buttons to key controls I use frequently so I can work purely from the keyboard and not need to touch anything on the laptop. Great piece of kit. Thanks guys!
Superb midi controller, just what I was looking for – and the team at whybuynew could not have been more helpful. It's a B Model but if you'd told me it was new, I wouldn't have questioned it. Thank you!
