UTILIZATION

Using fairly simple, although the manual sr must be opened from time to time, it is in French and with a little good will you get there!
Editing sounds and effects not very practical for very small step, but it's true out ten years ago dj ... well, it is largely done.

SOUNDS

The sounds are very good, especially pianos, guitars and some ground (though I have a pattern of yam are!)
Very happy with the expression of a keyboard even if sometimes lacks a little speed (heu. ... forgiveness is my fingers lol)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 10 years, I find that the price of current new dfi any competition, at least I pay the 12,600 FF era, and I do not sell it one day.
