OVERALL OPINION

A friend has one and I used it many times.
Assets:
- The number buttons 0 to 9 and the buttons "+" and "-" for easy adjustment of parameters and to change the bank without preset or stop playing
- Self-powered keyboard
Minimum: Red LED type screen (I personally think it's blah, especially since I had a MidiPro with LCD)
If you seek a controller keyboard easy to use and effective at home as well as on stage is a good choice especially since the price / quality ratio is very interesting.
