The entire range has stylish good looks, and the unusual metallic red end cheeks and rear panel provide lots of character. They are also excellent value for money - the UF8, with 88 weighted hammer-action keys is just under £430 in the UK, while the remaining semi-weighted models come in at £270 for the 76-key, £230 for the 61-key, and £170 for the 49-key versions. Each has eight rotary controllers, nine sliders, transport controls, pitch and mod wheels, plus sustain and pedal controller inputs. All four UF keyboards incorporate several unusual features - the aforementioned channel aftertouch, a breath-control input, the option to retrofit an optional Firewire-based audio interface, plus a largely aluminium case compared with the plastic of some competitors' models. Otherwise, they are identical, except that the UF8 is supplied with a sustain pedal - on the others, this is an optional extra.
The UF5, UF6, and UF7 have semi-weighted synth-action keyboards of 49, 61, and 76 keys respectively, while the UF8 being reviewed here has a 88-key weighted hammer-action keyboard.
