## Questions & Answers

**Q: how do the keys "feel" compared to an actuall piano key? i have found that alot of lower priced keyboards hav a spongey kinda feel.**
A: These keys are semi weighted. This means that when you press down on them they have light to moderate resistance when pressed and will return less springy than a cheaper synth. Think between a regular piano and a cheap synth and that's the feel you get.

**Q: What cable or usb hub should I buy to connect to my iPad Pro 9.3.1 128g? Please provide a tested/confirmed product that works, not connection type.**
A: The apple camera connector and a USB B cable you will also need a powered usb hub or buy the power adapter the keyboard requires too much power for the iPad

**Q: does this work with garageband**
A: Yup

**Q: does it plug into ac**
A: I dont believe so. It is a midi controller and I assume it is purely usb-buss powered. It may have the option for AC incase you don't wish to strain your laptop battery but I am unsure as it is unreleased yet. By the way if you didn't know this is a midi controller and cannot standalone or produce sounds without being connected to a computer or to analog/digital hardware such as a synth or drum machine.
