UTILIZATION

Touch, I always found amazing at the time (1995) he plunged all the competition by far. But it is true that the latest models I've seen in stores (eg Casio) are amazing ... Finally I thought about changing it, but in fact I am so used to his touch that I keep it with him that I feel better, it will not control ... ;-)
Configuration rather simple but navigating through the sounds, not very intuitive ...
Channel selection and convenient settings: 4 sounds can be played simultaneously with a fader for each.
The MIDI is very powerful and very easy to control a multitrack sound card, allowing the quick access to the latest piano sounds via Cubase, which are fabulous for some ...

SOUNDS

No techno and electro sounds here, but the classic sounds (piano, strings, guitar, bass, organ ...) Squid are still a bit old saw that found via a computer, but it is very adequate for the piano bar, pop or rock for example.
The expression is very good, no sense of "levels" as on some crappy MIDI Keyboard ...

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 11 years in the piano bar, with sequencer hand, it is now home to a project post-folk intimate.
The hit was his ultra strong point, now it's a sentimental story for me, after the choice of sounds is limited.
Matos extremely tough anyway.
Now I would do not have that choice at the time it was good.
