The Behringer Swing is a surprisingly capable little MIDI controller. It's a fantastic entry point for bedroom producers, electronic musicians, or anyone wanting to experiment with sequencing and modular synthesis on a budget. Don't expect a grand piano experience, but for its size and price, the creative possibilities are pretty impressive.

Frequently Asked Questions
The aftertouch is present, but it's not as nuanced or powerful as you'd find on more expensive instruments; it’s a welcome surprise given the price, though.
It’s class-compliant and can be powered via USB, but a separate power adapter is an option for increased stability, especially when using CV/Sync.
The sequencer is relatively straightforward, though mastering its full potential will require some experimentation and referencing the manual. It's designed for quick, iterative workflows.
