Positive Results Exceed Expectations
M-Audio found that much of the expense of other units on the market had a dizzying number of controls that many users found daunting. Nectar streamlined a design that places some functions under the control of the keyboard and mouse, where they’re best suited. The result is a controller that doesn’t have much of a learning curve, is much more intuitive to use, and comes in at an unbeatable price.
