Q) What happens if I am not completely satisfied with the Music Pad Pro once I receive it?
A) If you are not completely satisfied with your new MusicPad Pro, simply return it to us within 30 days of shipping and we will refund your purchase price to your credit card. You will need to call 1-800-295-7725 for a Return Authorization Number before you ship it back to FreeHand.

So you can try-it for a month and see how it "works-out" !! My advise: Give it a try
