«  Really great! »

Published on 10/10/10 at 06:57
RH3 keyboard, the last touch of heavy Korg, also present on the SV1 ...
Stereo output, two headphone outputs on the front panel input for footswitch, MIDI I / O.
Classical, but effective.
Chorus and reverb, combined, and with adjustable volume.
Flat, unlike the SP 200, the hull is fairly cheap plastic, and some keys to move a little. The volume sliders and metronome are also not very strong ..
The headphone jacks are on the left flank, which can be annoying when it happens next, there is a risk of tearing. But on the other hand, if they were located behind, you'll have to turn to whenever we want to connect a headset ... (Plague and cholera)

UTILIZATION

Touch is great. Much better than a Yamaha or a Roland, with a good bounce, but dry as it should, ... In short, perfect for me (more jazz oriented). So yes, feel is subjective, blah blah blah, but the result is there was an excellent touch objectively.
The manual is very clear, everything is described, full of tricks around (you can, for example, when it splits two sounds, change the volume of each sound).

The general configuration is simple ... ulta Turn you on, you choose your sound, you play.

SOUNDS

So sounds.

The piano chosen by default at power is pretty average. Too much body, but not asses attack. The second is my favorite, although it sometimes lacks a little body. The third is a dark sound, good enough.
The second bank is useless piano with detuned pianos, ...
The first acoustic piano, a Rhodes is very good, warm enough I think. The distortion comes a bit abruptly, in fact the words of a previous opinion, but you quickly get the shot and we manage to make it sound like we want. So very good. The next two are not very useful, as too close to the first but not so good ...
The harpsichord is too bright. The clavinet is pretty fun, like the clavinet wha wha.
The organs are very good for me. The B3 is perfect for my taste, is what I wanted to stack. Connected MIDI keyboard with a soft touch, is happiness.
The liturgy is also very successful.
The sets of strings can be a little lack of attack. The choirs are funny, nothing more.
The other sounds are average, but more evenly.

If you want to review sounds, I put a video on YouTube:


So it's good without being excellent, for the sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

I therefore used for 2 months. I tried the high-end Yamaha, Roland, and Yamaha range of environments. It is without hesitation although supperior to Yamaha, which dropped by more recent years. And it is "different" from Roland.
I was looking at the base to buy a SP200, his little brother without a speakerphone. But the occasion makes the thief, and 300 euros, I took it without hesitation. It is actually much prettier than the pictures that you can see. It is not very deep, the speakers are protected by a metal grid (not tissue), the fake wood is very warm, ...

The feature I like most is the feel great. It should go much higher in price for something better. The least that can be just a little piano, and all manipulations should be done with the buttons and the keyboard to transpose example.

For a little over 600 euros new at our German friends, with stand and pedal (very good indeed, as on a real piano), go for it ...
