Yes, much better. And you can even assign diffrent velocity curves that
serves your needs and playing styles. If you will have a better
keyboard to that price, then you must (IMHO) buy an old JX8P or
something. The cheapest keyboards are usually not very good.

You can use any control knob (several of them lights up) for IE. Ardour
(play, stop etc) and the mixing. I have not figured everything yet, bur
look forward to it. More that 16 of the control pads can also send Note
on (with velocity). I don't like them, but others do.
The bottom line: you get what you pay for.
