This is a 5 octave lightweight and dynamic. It possde between a footswitch, between 1 expression, a trio of MIDI, a ToHost, a headphone output. Faders can control two different pairs of paramtres such as cutoff / resonance, and also controls the modulation pitchstick.

About 350 tones are available, of all types, GM and GS compatible. The polyphony is 28 notes, 16 multitimbral parts. Some effects Reverb / chorus are Submitted, but trs rudimentary ditables not. No squenceur, but a small arpeggiator: simple and sometimes useful.

It is trslger, fun transportation (5 kg against 25 for the K2500 that I bought ... then the shock!).

UTILIZATION

The machine is very simple handle. It is entry level and does not function in many plthorique ranges in sub menus ... The manual is satisfactory and with a "manual dmo" with the ability to rev quickly what it shows. Good ide.

We may use and edit the "performance" to remind the instantanment rglages of a song.

SOUNDS

The sounds are htroclytes. The organs are good, the synths as well. The electric pianos sound fairly well, and some electric bass. Specially mention a piccolo snare drum and a set of hi-hats trs trs nice kit in the "standard 2". As this is the entry level, I RPET. We are far from the pro. The output pressure with a, yes.

Do not rely too much on the effects: they are "GM and no more." No shipping at all from depth and volume.

At "synthse" you can adjust the volume envelopes, custom settings of vibrato, and the filter. It's little, but dj better than nothing. And sounds can they be a little more custom.

OVERALL OPINION

This synth me 6 years in a group. Then I invested in a larger hardware. It does well in a lot of situations, although I feat. Today, I'm using almost, part time as keyboard matre other.

The silent rappport qualitprix good in nine (1995), and it still leaves a REALLY good impression to beginners as j'tais then. O the price it is found in time, it is a good deal.

I think the term which best glue is what the ad implied the press release: VERSATILE. I could really see for myself even.
