UTILIZATION

Very nice touch as well calibrated and precise enough for a game. The manual is correct and no more. If you are not a regular of this style machine, you can count a few hours before being comfortable with.

SOUNDS

The sounds are overall pretty good and make good when recorded in multitrack. The pianos are quite correct and you should have quite a level of demand not to be satisfied with the choice of sounds on offer. Among the sounds worse, of course, the guitar (as a guitarist I'm never happy in any case ) But also the drums sections missing a few "layers".

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few weeks and I only now go around the possibilities of this keyboard family. It is excellent to work the piano but also to perform "rough drafts" of compounds to be exported then noon. For fun, we find easily that recent karaoke files can then be displayed on the TV via the video output. Guaranteed success with your family! I do not regret the lack of memory and no memory card reader or USB stick ... This means taking the toaster if you want to work on many pieces. Apart from this minor annoyance, I am delighted that PF-1000 to its price level provides an opportunity to sound quality and workmanship to my knowledge unparalleled to date
