The big minus is the limited polyphony to 32 notes. If you do not play too much with the sustain pedal and dual function, it may suffice.
Its design is nice but it is not very strong all plastic.
UTILIZATION
Very easy to use. All functions are easily accessible without interrupting play.
on the other hand I often look for a function when it is in EDIT UTILITY and vice versa. Not very clear what group, then only 1 or 2 more buttons could bring some clarity.
I used to improvise quickly without having to go through the PC. It is very effective for that. Once I have something that holds water, I save it in SMF format on the USB drive and then completes the model PC. Contrary to what I read I get to play all the synth sounds from my sequencer.
I regret that it is limited to one style user and the loading time of a style is so long since the USB key. But it already can import styles format STY. There's something for everyone on Net.
The keyboard is very soft but still nice.
SOUNDS
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the sounds of guitar and flute. It sounds really into the whole lot on my studio monitors (Machie MR8) once we have adjusted the equalizer on internal HARD (the FLAT setting is not too meaningful). To the sounds of synth (lead, pad), it is on the other hand do not hesitate to combine them, to play pots and effects to achieve interesting results.
The piano sound is correct for a keyboard of this price.
OVERALL OPINION
I've had a few days. Purchased 300 € hand, I am delighted opportunities it offers. It complements my studio with (among others) from a master keyboard of 76 semi-weighted keys for playing VST and a digital piano.
I was expecting worse considering the price. It has nothing to envouer to synth / arranger that cost much more because they offer a more comprehensive sequencer, a style editor, a cross section indeed more powerful, but that was not necessarily needed when the one has a computer nearby.
The pros: the sound quality and value for money virtually unbeatable
The -: the plastic finish is very doubtful solidity.
I strongly recommend it.
