I own 4 keytars with mini keys, they all have hardware pitch bend en mod.
This is the only one with a touchstrip which isnt the same...it just doesnt feel right for me, and you have to choose between pitch and mod, so no pitch bend while modding the sound.
I like to hang the keytar super low, like a rockstar, so you dont look like a jazz geek...but then you cant reach the freaking touchstrip.
But maybe im just complaining because i didnt use it enough :)
Also, the internal sound are crap, way too clean en sound very cheesy...but i did not buy it for that anyway, just as a midi controller.
Serious, im having way more fun with my crazy old 3rd hand SHS which is 50 bucks on ebay
