We radius arranger keyboard.
Sound (voice) not knowing what to do: 730.
The classic effects: reverb, chorus, ...
Connectivity: USB works very well to take control of a PC.
Single Output audio: headphone, line out.
Means because the output level is super low so when you put a "separator" to leave the headphones and powered speakers connected, must adjust the volume to near background.
The internal amp out of his net (playing set to 3/4 of max otherwise you will almost hear anything) again!
No MIDI output.
Sustain pedal input.
USB input for key or hard drive: nice.

Very sound and style provided but apparently not editable.
Some sound very correctly to start, others may find use in pieces of "creation."
I do not have a great "musical" ear but there are many things that please and make you want to move forward and leave others indifferent. Tastes and colors ...

6 sequencer tracks unused.

UTILIZATION

The manual is rather poor but the main is here.
Navigating easily through the menus quickly found that we want to select sounds, styles, accompanied, sign ...
It is not therefore a synth sounds are what they are, period. We gain in ease that is lost in possibility.

OVERALL OPINION

This is a notice of the new owner, in addition, new keyboardist.
Everything is new and this keyboard corresponds to the specifications set: very low cost, easy to learn, very decent sound, even touch (light, soft but velocity sensitive, balanced and easy hair nice for a beginner = !).
I put my hands on a Korg Korg SV1 and Kross ...
Sure, it is (or rather 5) notch below for all but in the end returned to the price / quality ratio is pretty good.
The price of a toy keyboard supermarket (€ 285 in store) it clearly sets foot in the real world of arranger keyboards (used in master keyboard with USB).
And if we cling to learning, it sells the following Christmas, half price to take beautiful + + + + + quality and expensive.

To start learning the keyboard (no piano, no synth) 50 years ... I would do the same choice.
Unless the French games allow me to offer me a live SV1 ;-)

PS: the PSR E443 has "come out" at NAMM 2014. A line-in and a few more voices ...
Nothing revolutionary. Yamaha anything! You do not change a winning team ...
It is very well my PSR E433 ...
