88-key hammer, with a range of connection and editable effects.
It does everything one would expect of him simply.

UTILIZATION

The hit is very nice: not too heavy.
It is in splitable 2 zone control with a midi channel per zone + the addition of a house. Good point.

The settings are quite simple but comprehensive controls on a small LED alphanumeric display 2.
It manages all outgoing MIDI parameters, but also the effects on the sounds settings +.

Note that the module can be used to adjust the volume of such pads on a piano + pads: one attack on a piano and we upped the pad fade in. Practical and intelligent.

In addition, switching from one sound to another without a break ... Everything has been thought.

SOUNDS

There are 32 sounds in total (and yes, it has some years ...!).

The piano sounds are just excellent, full, warm (quite the opposite of a Korg synth sample or a brilliant levied on a Yamaha synthesizer) in complete response with the keyboard.
Some variants of pianos that give a good pallette of use.

The electric piano sound.

Are the organ are using, but go well in a consistent mix.

The violins are beautiful.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 10 years.
This is a great companion, light and portable, it offers very good piano sounds.

A keyboard almost bare, yet everything is there!

On stage, I use it not only as a piano / e-piano but also as a master keyboard to add the pad synths and other sounds.

What I like least, its organs, but ... I have a hammond leslie + next to it.

Rare sale of occasion (we all care??) When it is found, c around 600 €, c I think today a pretty good deal!
At that price, I re-take without regard for its pianos, easy to transport and its side rather complete.
