Value For Money : Excellent
This piano Submitted trs a quality good value for money.
Bote rhythm, significant customization of the main piano (DIFFERENT types of tuning, SETTING THE many effects that bring more ism) and for the fans, the organ sounds can be modified to measure, harmonic by harmonic.
It is also possible to play midi files, karaoke (with lyrics on screen!) And WAV, from a USB key.
MODEL I possde this for 6 months, and I'm still tonn of all those qualities that persuade me to have made the right choice in terms of competition.

The only missing and competition does not, is not able to sample its own set directly on the piano. Samples are all the same useful function AudioKey thanks, but only from wav files from a USB key.

UTILIZATION

- Ergonomics is excellent as the user guide is indispensable for understanding rvle navigation through menus and use all the features made available. It is best to keep the record proximity ... because we accde some menus by combinations of two keys.

- The keyboard is noisy: a loud noise and strong enough when pressing the keys ... that rvle dsagrable time, and you can not avoid.
In addition, these sounds are transmitted fairly strong Tage infrieur if the vibrations are transmitted to the ground via the medium of the piano. Thus Avoid playing at night, even with a headphone if you have sympathy for your neighbors below :-). I recommend using at least one pais carpet (the carpet was not enough because it will eventually settle and conduct vibrations ...). I just put four foam blocks under my foot X: Making it better, but it loses stability (it should be supported against a wall) and the tac-tac is always visible (without being g ing) from the Tagus infrieur.

- Another peru default I had in store: a shrill whistle is made (like notches on the old cathode, or as when the rtro-lighting in some MP3 players are active when you press the keys. It is constant intensity, regardless of the volume of the piano. We often do not pay attention, and we do peroit more with age (> 25 years?) dsagrable but if you want to play low volume in a quiet environment.

I put the accent on some default that are not often dvelopps when it comes to the piano. They are relative to the other quality

SOUNDS

Sounds good quality ... except for guitars. The sound of the piano seemed to clump when I bought it (j'tais Clavinovas accustomed to), but I got used to over the uses.
I am not conquered by the amplification of the FP-7, even if it is much better than the FP-4. No deep bass (indeed, nothing to thundering piano portable), it reverses itself lacks emphasis (too?) Mdiums on low and high frequencies tend to distort when it rises a little volume. Note that a customizable equalizer is available.
The sound is good rvle trs when using headphones. It is not a lightweight n'chappe breath if you use headphones in-ear (rsout problem that is easily the case with a song attnuateur volume).

I have hte budget (APRS Reduces shrinking purchasing this piano!) For a string acqurir stereo and enjoy the FP-7 fair value .

OVERALL OPINION

The elements by previous ones, I wanted to emphasize the default "mask" of the FP-7, plutt than reporting an overall opinion and objective.
It remains, despite these few inconvnients, trs a good piano, and I would do this choice today, given the competition because the game is really electronic and sound quality are generally well made.
