Behringer UMX49 U-Control MIDI KeyboardThe Behringer UMX49 U-Control MIDI Keyboard packs a 49-Key USB/MIDI Controller with USB/Audio Interface, 50 Software Instruments and Ableton Live Lite 4 in one box. The capabilities of this synth are out of sync with the price which starts at just £80. The keyboards flexibility and plenty keys means that you get value for money.

You can download more virtual instruments and synthesizers from the company website. The Behringer UMX49 U-Control comes packed with features and good key action. The rotary knobs are hard to begin with but they relax after some keyboard usage without becoming too weak.

A good product with a very good price from Behringer.
