Does this have octave-transpose buttons?

No, not per se-- but you can use the Function menu to transpose the keyboard from -3 to +3 octaves, and you can program some of the buttons to act as octave-transpose buttons. There is a Transpose button that takes you directly to a menu function where you can transpose the entire keyboard up or down 1 semitone at a time, from -12 to +12 semitones-- so you can transpose the instrument to any musical key (e.g., so Middle C plays the D below Middle C, or so Middle C plays the B above Middle C, etc.), to a maximum of -1 to +1 octave. In addition, each of the three voices-- main (a.k.a "right 1" on other keyboards), dual (a.k.a "right 2"), and split (a.k.a. "left")-- can be separately shifted from -2 to +2 octaves, which is combined with the Transpose function. For instance, if you shift the split voice down 2 octaves but you also shift the entire keyboard up 12 semitones, the split voice will actually be shifted down 1 octave (+1 -2 = -1). So you could, for example, shift the split voice down 2 octaves, shift the main voice up 1 octave, shift the dual voice up 2 octaves, and transpose the entire keyboard down 1 octave (12 semitones), such that the split voice ends up at -3 octaves, the main voice ends up at +/-0 octaves, and the dual voice ends up at +1 octave. Furthermore, once you've set up the keyboard (voices, octaves, style, tempo, etc.) the way you want it, you can save the settings to a registration. There are 32 registrations in all, although there are only 4 registration buttons-- i.e., there are 8 registration banks, and each bank holds 4 registrations. So you could set up the keyboard with different octave shifts and save each one to different registrations, such that pressing any of the 4 registration buttons will instantly shift the keyboard up or down a number of octaves.

Only with the vibrato channel by default; there are relatively simple mods that can give you reverb and vibrato on both channels (although I haven't done that myself)

Yes. Not sure how well it would work with fl studio though. I use logic x and not many of the buttons can be assigned to actually do something. Might want to look into that

Yes the octave is displayed. Sometimes it 'hears' some of the overtones and displays those, but usually it's correct

No; it is missing the § key, which I use a lot. Plus, there is a trick to getting either the sound or the screen to change intensity.

It does. It is not as convenient as it used to be. At the bottom of the screen (the function keys) should be one called stack (F3). In there is the SWAP button (F2). To get back to the main menu press the TOOL button.

Yes. It's one of those knobs within a knob. The outer one adjusts treble and the outer bass (or maybe it's the other way around) but the answer is yes.

As far as I know, most midi controllers are very customizeable from within Ableton. You can bind each knob to the macro knobs within Ableton. I'm not sure how easy switching it up is though.

Yes, you can! Press the MIDI/SELECT button(the button between the octave buttons), then press the "C" key(the lowest "C" on the keyboard, the key on the extreme left with the word, "VELOCITY" above it), then press the highest "C" key on the extreme right of the keyboard, the key with the word, "ENTER" above it. Then move the slider up and down. You will notice that when the slider is all the way up, there is no velocity sensitivity(all notes will be equally loud and crisp) and as you move the slider down, there will be more velocity sensitivity and as you move it down more, the notes will get very soft. To put the keyboard back to its original factory preset(always do that when you have a problem with the behavior of the keyboard) repeat the above steps but select the key marked "RESET"(the lower "G SHARP" key) instead of "VELOCITY".

YEs, with the octave mode. but this pedal isnreally cheap and sounds a little crappy.

Yes! It's a simple function to transpose the tone in semitone steps. Detailed instructions are included in the manual. I bought this for my now-19 year old daughter two years ago and she still loves it. Plays it when she's home from college and now her 16-year old brother is into it, too! Great for teens; I highly recommend. :)

Function keys = yes; F1..F12 = no. There is a row of keys above the number keys with various function icons. I don't think I've ever used them or thought much about them.

Yes they can. Currently only the amount of buttons can be keybound, without adding shift or cntl. But the amount is almost endless. I have all button bound, and again with holdin shift, and again for holdin cntl just for wow. It's very customizable.

I would think not if it is not noted. There is a free editor avail. From the Korg site. The pads are note assignable so they can trigger notes in just about any music software that accepts midi note info.

Yes, the speed doesn't affect the key, or tonal pitch. Just the speed. However you can transpose keys also, but that's another function.

Don't think so as the Keyboard layout is different.There are NO Function Keys at the top.
