Value For Money : Excellent
Motivation for choice, mainly exceptional feel of the keyboard,
88 keys, MIDI control, the expansion card VERD1 with sounds rather nice and the price in time ...

Keyboard
Hammer PA4, 88 keys
VERD1 card (A-90EX) with 128 sounds
Cool sounds of pianos, strings not top, hovering a few sounds correct.
Ability to create 4 layers with a different sound for each but beware
the polyphonic (64 channels) that reached very quickly in this case.

taken breath (breath controller)
hold (sustain)

UTILIZATION

- Very realistic touch, despite having a key aspect of "plastic"
Is ideal for use in my home studio, the control center of my expanders.
- Ease of Use: Very easy to control internal or external sounds using the numeric keypad
or the slider to switch between presets in presets.
- Manuel Extremely clear and precise.

OVERALL OPINION

-I use it for one week;)
- The +: the great 88-key keyboard and Hammer, the MIDI control.
the - the weight (27.3 kg).
So it's not the type of keyboard easy to take for a concert, it is better to be two to move it even if I managed to climb two floors but do not ask me to do this every weekend
"I used a Fatar SL-880 for two years but the touch feelling is very different.
Value for money-excellent, bought in July 2003 to € 1000 in occasion (in perfect condition).
-I do not regret my purchase.
