I haven't tried the unweighted CME's, but if the UF8 is any indication, I would pass there as well. The Axiom is the closest I've found to acceptible in the MAudio line. Personally I would stay away from the CMEs or MAudio keyboards. It was difficult to play with any sense of phrasing. I found the review model I got to be inconsistent - some notes would stick at the top of the key bed some were slower than others offsets between notes were inconsistent, etc. Yes, it's action is pretty poor (I think I was a bit more euphemistic in the review). I guess you didn't read my review of it then (or I wasn't blunt enough). Without bashing too much, but the UF6 was one of the biggest misspurchases I have ever doneĪgain, I dunno about the new generations, but all these issues made me to ignore CME completely. They keys are really balanced and it is a difference of day and night to play on that thing compared to the UF6. Besides all that it is rock stable and massive. I got 8 drumpads, lots of knobs (no faders really but that's also fine for me) and hellovalot of programming options. I recently got the Axiom 25 of M-Audio (since this is enough for me to have 25 keys) and I am more than pleased. Especially since I never realize it that it was broken. I personally don't care about a broken LED, but it was really awkward when I sold it. The best thing was, I sold the keyboard on ebay and the buyer was really really exploring everything what you can examine and found out that one LED wasn't working on this knob LED ring. Also I don't really know what the big difference between the UF6/UF60 is. They look pretty good and I had a quick test at my local music store. Together with the terrible support (sometimes noone replied on the CME forum for about weeks) I think CME suck0r00rz bigtime. Plastic is fine for me, but the UF6 was a bit too plastic for me.

The keys itseld are really crappy, especially the attack of the black keys totally differs from the white ones. You have to write it down on paper to know which MIDI command you assigned to which controller. You don't even see what you assigned to which fader. Maybe I am the only one, but I had problems programming MIDI commands to certain knobs.

I don't even get into the driver updates. Well, to be honest, not only the keyboard but the support too. I had a CME UF6 for quite a while and I kinda liked it, but after a while there was so much stuff I discovered and now I honestly it sucks big time.
