Now, all the magic is contained within NI's own instruments. The only hardware issue is that encoders are very close to each other so if you have big fingers you'll have to be careful. The screens allow you to do a good chunk of work without reaching for the mouse. modwheel is solid and the touch stripe is unobtrusive and handy for a bunch of orchestral use cases.
The keys are exceptional and very pleasant to touch, the aftertouch feels just right. I'd start with stating that this keyboard has an amazing look & feel. I'm using this keyboard with Ableton Live and NI's Komplete Ultimate and the experience is very different between those two.
