Value For Money :
Excellent
"EXO.C" summarized the characteristics of this device, in the following notice ...
but if you want details, here's the doc: https://www.mediafire.com/?zb1tq13xrbdm50t
Regarding the software, although quite comprehensive publishing programs, combinations, etc. ... however, it is a bit light at the "finalizing", I mean is that engineers have not done their job all the way .... to know that some functions do not work, and had they taken the time to try this program with the VSAT configuration, they realized it would probably ... as well as when working with multiple windows and accidentally instead of "reduce" is the "farm" (there is little distance between the two functions), it is good to close the sequencing software (for me "cakewalk") in order to then re-open "microstation Editor" that will again synchronize the contents of VSAT .... and what a waste of time .... a mere confirmation of closure would have been wise but hey .... yeah, 485 € ...!!!!
UTILIZATION
So .... first of all, if you do not connect the microsite on your Mac or PC, you'll quickly limited by the edition, very difficult on the small screen .... but to scroll through the programs and combinations, no need for a big screen .... the synth is enough ... and at first, listening to the samples is important to consider working in multitimbral, it's the highlight of this machine. Moreover, certain features are only accessible by the software, such as editing of drum kits.
With a few dozen hours of use under my belt, I can now say that if the product is great for various reasons, the doc, for its part, is well below the minimum we are able to wait of such gas plant ... it is very incomplete, and for my part, I did not find any answer to my various problems .... no chapter nor the software, apart from "how to install the program "... thank you Mister Korg ... it's good doc on the cheap, I was ready to add more for a 100E manual worthy of that name, who would save time .. . and time is ....!!!! but for the grip, how to unpack the device and plug the transformer, it is at the top ....
That is the chapter on "Using the user" I am a bit harsh but I really pissed off, as if this keyboard was designed to offer Noel nephew, hoping that it does has no desire to go beyond pum-ta-pum-pum ....
As for editing sounds, there is great, with the software of course ... ditto for wetsuits, it's the same principle .... on the other hand, a little sluggish responsiveness when acting on buttons Virtual ... latency .... maybe due to my PC that is not last generation .... and if a sequence runs, there must squarely forget ...!!!
SOUNDS
Regarding the quality of sound, has everything, but overall, it's nice, and very versatile ...
Me, I'm more attracted by the sounds of acoustic share my work and my musical culture, but for those who want to indulge in the joys of electronic music, plenty to do ... and with the 4 control knobs (assignable to whatever you want), it's magic ...
In fact, the basic sounds are pretty average overall, but with the 5 insert effects plus two master effects and the overall effect, you get something really good ... but it takes a certain experience to go straight to the point ... there are among the effects, amp simulators, and other rotary speakers, and everything is customizable and savable ...!!! ...
The velocity of the keyboard is good, considering the fact that it is a "mini", bad, no aftertouch ....
To return to the sounds, I almost forgot ... the acoustic piano are pathetic ... in the best cases, should be drowned in the mix ... but the piano style "M1" is as bad as a M1 ... sorry for those who love ...
The Fender Rhodes, on the other hand are very nice and very realistic ... a real pleasure ....
The strings are also successful, beautiful attacks for violins, cellos, basses, sets of strings that sound great .... I will not enumerate the list of all stamps, but I'm willing to give you an opinion, even a sample for a specific sound (there is a link on the list of prog. wetsuits and ... it will give an idea of the range)

Should not forget to mention the two arpeggiators seen there as well ... ... we can create with the software as many arpeggios that has ideas ... and of course it is possible to assign volume each arpeggio with a knob control .. live is the top ...!!! and the control knobs, they can also act on an external MIDI device, like digital mixer ..
I would not use the sequencer for that part I do not use it and I probably would not use ever ... I'm on my sequences Cakewalk, and I transferred into the VSAT on SD card.
OVERALL OPINION
I bought this keyboard there about 3 weeks in Michenaud (Nantes), Internet, ordered on Tuesday at 16.00, received on Wednesday at 12:30 ... I take this opportunity to recommend this shop ... if allowed ...
I spent many days or nights with work, I lug around everywhere, it plugs in 3 minutes and it weighs less than a chicken .... this keyboard, despite its low weight, is of serious charges, Guaranteed 3 years ...
Before buying, I go around all that exists keyboard workstation through the various demos that I found on the net ... my budget was 500 € (yes, it is the crisis ....), thus, this choice was as economical ... but mostly I wanted a versatile keyboard that can follow me everywhere without having to lower the seats of the car ..!!! when the little touches, if it has no intention of embarking on major concertos, it is only a matter of adaptation ...
In conclusion, the price / quality ratio seems unbeatable, or tell me I'm wrong ...!!
Of course, I am very happy with this choice that opens new horizons for months, perhaps years to come ... and if I were to win the lottery, I would buy a carry bag ....
