I bought the white one first (not Alpine), then sold it, and in between a few different controllers:(Novation keys 49, samplers like the Roland SP which was amazing also, and Ableton controllers like Novation + and AKAI. This one just is a perfect size and has great and very inspiring keys, the best actually I tried in all mini keyboards. Also knobs, drum pads, and faders! Extra footswitch input. So I sold it all and went back to it now! Glad that there is an alpine one now. Fits very well with my all white desk setup! Good for having more light around, especially in the winter. Only thing would be great if it has the fixed length button that exists on ableton controllers.
