Best value: Excellent
Everything has been said I think ...

UTILIZATION

The first approach seemed to me quite complex, but after a quick read of the manual, everything becomes clear, it is sufficient to understand the logic of the beast, they thought full super practical shortcuts to navigate the menus (it's obviously good is not a good gaggle of knobs!), the backup feature is very well thought out, you can edit the A to Z and then return to the original to compare or cancel the changes, I love it!
The setup mode allows you to create performance by piling up a staggering number of sounds and rhythms in the same patch by assigning them to certain areas of the keyboard, in the same manner as a sampler, great! Be careful not to exceed the polyphony!
The sequencer is simple and incredibly effective, with melodies as with the rhythm.
Assigning knobs to different settings is fun, too bad there are so few.

SOUNDS

I am a techno and electronica, the sounds are great! The sounds are quite varied, whether for bass, leads, pads or rhythmic, but still very electronic: do not rely on the sounds of piano and strings very realistic!
The effects are also very electronic, the reverb is freezing, we like it or not!
again to the somewhat experimental electro it's great!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for six months, I like the sounds very electro, the use of different modes and the sequencer, I just wish that no more knobs on the front and separate outputs but good the price, we will not ask for the moon!
I had a sh-32 and KS-rack, I will not venture to the comparison, each has its advantages and disadvantages, you ... I would do it all the same choices with eyes closed, for this price!
