Numrique Piano 88 keys (seven octaves + 3 Ratings) ncessaires at run classical pieces.

339 sounds, including GrandPiano1 and tone wheel organ ditables.

MIDI ports (DIN 5 in / out and USB), audio inputs and outputs by Jack 1 / 4 "(+ between a mini-jack Stereo (3.5 mm): Mixin), taken for p dale continues (Damper) and taken to two switch pedals, 2 headphone jacks (1 / 4 ")

USB port for connecting a USB key available commercially.

UTILIZATION

Dynamic touch adjustable to 5 levels (fine sensitivity 100 levels). Enjoyable and expressive touch, trs well to play all types of pieces (from Bach to contemporary pieces). Touching a little lightweight when it comes to still play on an acoustic piano, we regret that this piano just does not touch the dot effect of exhaust available on Roland pianos numriques tails. ..

Gnrale configuration is relatively simple (easy for the LCD screen) but much less than on a device from Yamaha (in the same price range, the screen is much larger and the multitude of buttons makes the functions directly accessible). CHAC many functions is done by keystrokes, making use can be a bit laborious, especially beginners ...

Select the patch is not very practical: they are divided into groups (for pianos, organs, strings and guitars, a will, but for the GM2 sound banks, it is the horror!). Indeed, the select is done thanks to + and - buttons, so if one seeks the 156, we must remain press + for a while ...

The manual, however, is clear and trs trs well. It is quite sufficient. In addition, it is not too thick and does not dcourage the user.

SOUNDS

Sounds more than adequate, especially the Grand Piano 1 (ditable, as I recall), it is multi-sampled on each of the 88 notes, which makes trs expressive, with a depth of its correctness. In addition, the sympathetic vibrations of the strings are audible (more so ism). All these parameters (vibrations of the strings when you press the pedals, sympathetic vibrations, the sound of hammers and touffoirs) are adjustable with Piano Designer function.

The other sounds are pretty good, except some in the bank GM2 (After all, it's a piano based!).

I do not use many effects (I'm plutt classical pianist), but I use by the equalizer against numrique (continuously on rgl "Piano Solo") and the sound CONTRL (you can choose a sound plutt powerful, clear or plutt ...).

The expression is excellent and she even surprise the day I tried it o! You can really play everything on the piano (the sweetest song of Chopin, the most spirited pieces by Beethoven or Prokoffiev!).

My prfr his is undoubtedly the Grand Piano 1 (I use low trs other piano sounds). The one I like least? I do not like some string sounds, or sounds of GM2 banks, but to quote a prcisment ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two weeks and I do not regret my purchase!

What I like most about the piano: the piano sound and touch sensitive and expressive.
What I like least: the difficulty of use to which we are confronted with the use of beginners. Even today, I can not rgler certain parameter.

I tried a few pianos, especially in the SERIES CLP / CVP Yamaha, and also Roland (FP-4 which is not in touch and see the terrible amplification: the sound saturates, not FP-7). I use from time to time a Roland RD-700SX in harmony: it is a little better performance level, but not adapted to the house (no amplification intgre ...).

The report qualitprix is ​​reasonable (I got 1260): this may be a bit hard for the budget, but is well worth the trouble, especially if one is required or that one wants to use it on scne.

There's no picture: with the exprience, I would do well this election!
