Value For Money :
Correct
Piano keyboard with 88 keys made of wood and the most advanced mechanical all brands if I believe the descriptions I read.
Connection MIDI, USB (cable not included of course).
We can register, not on 10 tracks, but more accurately as shown on tracks 2 to 5 times. These two tracks are recorded separately and mixable.
Touch is changed (light, heavy, etc.) but all other options not remembered. And so I started systematically on a light touch that I leave for beginners, as it should be repositioned every time I turn on the piano, and it's annoying. Same for the rest. Too bad that the manufacturers have still not understood that we would like to keep in mind once and for all the configuration that is being done.
UTILIZATION
Touch is really nice although curiously touches tend to go up but it does not interfere with the game
One detail that really bothers me is the inability to quickly play the same note at high speed because the key does not have time to go back! Annoying to play the letter to Elise for example. As my very old Yamaha stand without problems.
The documentation is clear enough, it must be read anyway because everything is not intuitive but it does not pose a problem.
SOUNDS
I bought this piano for the keyboard and its mechanical and here I was not disappointed. But the rest, if ... Piano sounds are average and a little dry. I think the special effects (reverb, etc.) uninteresting. Do not buy for expressiveness.
Other non-piano sounds are nice overall (vocal, very good third organ sound). Pre-recorded tracks are quite fun as they emerge from the obligation to know the score, leaving dependent rhythm and expression.
OVERALL OPINION
Opinion of 27/03/2007:
I use this piano for a couple of weeks and I must say that I am still not used to the simplicity of the piano (the main, because the others are less realistic but that I think it's all about pianos ). I dream of expressive sound of concert pianos.
Quality / price ratio honest I think, but I bought it at the end of a series is with strong promotion!
In order to remain impartial, I said that I had reached a very good piano but it was 20 years ago on an acoustic and than I really am given only a little over a year. On the other hand it is difficult to try all the models we would like because the sellers have very little stock. I still took the time to do all the shops in my town. Therefore probably difficult to judge the actual quality of the instrument. But if it again I think I turned to another model.
Edit of 18/12/2010:
After more than three years of daily use, but normal, problems have arisen. Some sounds began to disturb a year ago or two? (Not rated but it's been a while). So if I use the mute after set some options, the sound starts to shake.
While I play certain passages, the sound moves from piano to bass without my touch anything.
The VAS is disappointing, a single point and not very motivated to provide answers.
Very angry on the pedal that yield. Explanation: The support bracket is plastic and not based on anything (only the middle pedal is based on a big screw when it is not often used), he ended up breaking. It seems absurd to put plastic plates, not metal on pianos that price in order to save penny-pinching. Replace this pedal will be expensive. I change brands for the next purchase.
