I did test the keyboard with other programs besides Sonar, and the keyboard works just fine using the FPT driver (it's transparent).

I didn't load the software that came with it as I already have Sonar X1.

A-PRO 2 is the bulk control set you need to select within your DAW, but with that non-descriptive name you need to read the manual carefully to figure that out. One minor complaint is that the driver lists MIDI in/out, A-PRO 1 in/out and A-PRO 2 in/out. If you use Sonar, you will probably want this keyboard over the Axiom just for the ACT feature. The initial setup still requires you to manually specify the A-500PRO in the preferences, but you don't have to map all the controls - that is done for you in an intelligent way.
Enabling ACT allows it to auto-magically map the controls (knobs/sliders/etc) to Sonar's interface, which works really well and feels nice. It works and I can only assume it's better than a standard driver but have no way to measure it. Software and Drivers: The keyboard by default uses FPT, a proprietary low latency MIDI interface and driver. I prefer the overall "cooler" look of the Axiom but the A-500PRO looks like a professional piece of equipment as well, favoring function over trend. It's smaller and lighter than the Axiom but does not feel smaller. The backlight and buttons light up old school orange, but I much prefer that to the trendy blue you find everywhere. The 16x2 character display on the Roland is also easier to navigate.Īppearance: The Roland is all plastic but it looks good, much cleaner than the PCR-500 it apparently replaced. Comparing the series, note that the M-Audio 25 has just two sliders, while the comparable A-300PRO does (+5" and 7 more keys). Compared to the Axiom, the controls feel better on the A-500PRO. They feel okay but are audible when hitting them with your fingers (I suppose they all are). I haven't played with the dynamic pads but they are small compared to the M-Audio's pads. I like the pitch controller, though others noticed the center spring loading prevents it from holding an off pitch setting. All of the knobs and sliders are smooth except the menu knob (notched).

I found the keys on the M-Audio Axiom and Axiom Pro to be a little clicky, especially the black keys. The keys are definitely "synth" style, no semi-weight or chunky feel at all, but a perfect amount of spring. Fortunately, it has similar keys found on Roland's other small MIDI controllers, for example the legacy PCR-500 and Juno series. I took a slight gamble on the A-500PRO since no local store had it on display for me to play with. Keys and controls: I like the feel of the A-500PRO keys and knobs. In spite of the M-Audio's inflated MSRP, both can be found within $50 of each other and they are street priced to compete with each other with similar features. You are probably debating between the Roland A-500PRO and the M-Audio Axiom 2nd Gen. Otherwise you will get blocked every now and then. I still recommend you to buy it- however please set aside some time to understand this controller thoroughly before proceeding with composing music.
And just for the records, I am a computer engineer by profession! Even last night, I struggled to get 2 things working simultaneously, so had to look for information on the internet. And this has been my frustration for a long time.

I had to spend many hours searching forums on the internet to learn WHY do I need to tweak settings or how to make use of a feature or function. But even with Sonar 8, many things don't work the way you think they would OR require tweaking which is not apparent from their documentation. They have a tool for that and some documentation exists. The settings for this controller are very difficult to manage.
I love the feature set, the handy customizable knobs and controllers. And if you are a musician, you know how important the 'feel' and quality of sound is while coming up with compositions. Great feel while playing- as the company advertises, the keys are identical to actual keyboard- thus giving far better feel than other MIDI controllers on the market. I am a semi-pro singer, venturing into creating my own music. Shipping: Usually ships in 1-2 business days Other products by Cakewalk Rating : Out of 5.0 Special Offer Total New : 3 and Used :
