Only one version which is 1.0. It is a midi controller only and does not transmit any sound of it's own. The manual is short and to the point.

The keys react to how you play and the midi capabilities are endless since you can program any slider, trigger button, footswitch and even the thing they call a thumby button to it's own midi cc#. It also allows me to transpose the keypad by notes or by octaves.

It reacts to velocity and aftertouch.

Would definately buy it again if it was available. For some reason, E-MU discontinued it last year. It definately helps me make music due to the fact that I can insert it anywhere in my midi system and with the knobs and sliders, have complete control over all midi parameters. For other info, see P2K review.

Tons of cool control features. Everything youd expect. I only wish the octave key pads were a little more solid.

Yes, id buy it again. Theres not much else to choose from unless you get a Peavey PC-1600 or Kenton Control Freak--both more expensive. For what this baby does, its cheap.
