I had an M-Audio radium 61. I had no problems with any of the midi data on my particular unit. Really, I had few issues at all with it except that.... the keys felt soggy, the whole thing felt "cheap" ( not just the keys ) and I pretty much disliked playing it. Of course, it's important to note that at times my touch is heavier than probably most, ( I like it that way btw ) and I was always afraid I'd either break the thing outright or knock it over. I'm grateful for today's boards that allow me to adjust the velocity to my touch, otherwise much of what I play would be right around velocity #127


As I'm typing this, I'm also realizing that it's kind of ironic for me to be saying that, because over the years as my playing style has evolved ( or perhaps digressed ? ..lol ), I've noticed that my preference for key feel and accessories has changed as well. Years ago I used to prefer light synth action and organ feel because I was truly convinced I needed that for better expression control over my instrument, and in the early days I think I did have a lighter touch. Now I am more comfortable using a weighted feel. I also preferred joysticks over pitch mod wheels, until I got my original MZ2000 and then the Motif after that. Both of these boards have nice solid feeling pitch and mod wheels, and now I much prefer them over the joystick on my PA80.

I think if you like the action on a PSR Scott, you'd probably like the action on the M Audio controllers. It felt very similar to me. I'd recommend a little more research from other users though, in light of what Squeak shared with us. I'm guessing that a healthy pecentage of other M-Audio users might recommend a better quality controller. I traded mine away for some custom guitar work on my Les Paul.
