Frequently Asked Questions

The Compact action sacrifices a bit of depth and vertical travel to achieve a smaller form factor, but it still provides a very good level of realism and control.
Yes, the USB to Host connection allows for straightforward MIDI recording into your DAW, though you’ll need appropriate software on your computer.
Bluetooth 5.1 offers a generally stable connection, but latency can still be a factor depending on your device and setup; wired connection is always preferred for critical timing.
