Digital synthesizer. Five octaves. Small joystick for pitch and modulation control.

Standard connections:

- MIDI (in, out, thru)

- Phones

- L/R output

- Sustain pedal

- 9-volt PSU

Polyphony: 24 notes.

UTILIZATION

In spite of the easy configuration, you'll have to take a look at the very clear user's manual to understand every function in detail.

Very intuitive sound editing.

SOUNDS

Standard Roland GM sound. The presets allow you to play any music style and they sound authentic.

Regarding the effects I wish the controls had a more analog feel (rotary controls) but you can solve that with external sound generators.

OVERALL OPINION

I got it yesterday and I'm already a fan! It's exactly what I was looking for. Now that I have it, I'll keep it. I will add sound generators to it. It's rare to find a keyboard at this price with a such good finish. No key noise and perfect playing feel. It' doesn't feel like plastic!!!

It's perfect for a synthesizer beginner like me!!!
