I do not come back on the general characteristics. More specifically: I find it really ugly! It is slightly elevated, and suddenly the most stands, we can not add a second keyboard. In my opinion it was not necessary and would have been more discreet for the stage.
It's a shame that there is no output as the XLR or Roland kawaii, and it's really no cons that there is no USB port for updates. We must send the keyboard in Lyon, while in competition, all keyboards that are "update", are easy.
There is no overdrive as the Nord Electro, and that's too bad. Even if it means the vintage, all go through and "dirty" sound a little!
The keyboard is ... ok. No more. I think it's a mechanical Fatar. I am a pianist and ... well, it's very usable, but I prefer the feel of the RD700 or at best the kawai mp9500. It is not heavier in the bass than treble.
The built-in EQ: awesome! The rest is the connections and characteristic of any stage piano.
UTILIZATION
The use is great and intuitive. No need for manual or when so little. Great for the stage. Large buttons, presets easily accessible, a must. The motorized faders is really great. I wonder why they are not the same thing about Hammond drawbar organs that are going out today!!
SOUNDS
The sounds are great, I do not return it. A little disappointed, however: the bass. Acoustic bass is really great, for against, it has only one proposed electric bass, and I find it terrible: She is not serious enough and round and is very typical. What is good for the keyboard is not necessarily for the bass. It is the fretless is nice, but not always appropriate to the pieces I play.
A 10 anyway just for the piano and rhodes 2 1.
Too bad there's not a little to dirty overdrive sound. The effects are top notch.
OVERALL OPINION
Super Bécanne, which makes me a little scared, because the production does not seem as reliable and regular as Japanese products. I use it for a few weeks and a few dates.
I do not think I bought it, I'll try something else.
I tried and owned many model before this one. The price / quality ratio is OK.
One more for the flight which is now sold and is very well suited to Bécanne (25 kg!)
