88 keys with aftertouch mcanique hammers
full of sound ...
full effect ...
headphones (big jack stereo)
stereo output (with 2 large mono jack)
MIDI in, out, out / thru (switchable)
taken dualswitch (single or sustain pedals pedals to sustain ... sostenu +?)
making expression pedals
jack to connect the famous ribbon controller (which is not provided, but does not rate too much apparently ...)
AC adapter ... (this is the thing that will fail first, especially at the connection to the piano, which is brittle, it is necessary to pay attention ...)
4 Controller "running" (top left of the keyboard), knob named A, B, C and D
4 Controller "on-off", named SW1, 2, 3, 4
Controller 2 "wheel mode" (one returns to the middle position thanks to spring, the other is "free")
the large round button right of the keyboard is used to dfile sounds, effects ...
effects are numerous and qualitbr /> do not forget the Trap for adding the map Roma "vintage electric piano"
UTILIZATION
Touch, crucial ...
As a pianist, I'm not completely satisfied ... even if it is enjoyable trs, it has a big default: frquence some of rptition of m I note, it seems that the hammer bounces, or something like that. Finally the effect is that even by pushing hard, the sound that comes out is not strong, him. Or, indeed inverse.Par example if I play do-r-do fast enough, and 2nd do well going out, while this is not the desired effect. While this keyboard is not suitable for classical pianists, it is not enough (even if Boston has developed this mcanique ...). But the piano bar or works not too technical, a should do the trick ...
If the touch is fairly lightweight, it is consistent (it is not heavier in the bass and more lightweight in AIGS). In fact it is versatile because it can be uncomfortable for all sounds, including organ sounds more difficult operating heavy touch with a real piano ... So he excels neither purely pianistic TB or TB purely organistic, but it is not bad for all.
Operation is simple matter of getting used to fawn all ...
The party seems trs twelve o'clock performance, but I did not use. In my opinion it is a highlight of this keyboard.
Amricain manual, but apparently at Backline they made a translation Franaise. It is quite clear, it may be lack of illustrations, but there always comes ...
Another highlight of this keyboard: the Controller. It's simple, you can assign any function any controller: pedals, tape, mode wheel, aftertouch, the 4 buttons "that turn" the on-off button 4 (can be attributed a value for the two positions "on" and "off", for example if it is used to CONTRL volume) and everything for the zone that is DSIR (there 4).
Each area benefitted its rglages SPECIFICATIONS (rponse of touch effects, arpgiateur, Controller).
So there is something fun ...
For the price, chpeau!
SOUNDS
The sounds are of good quality trs (analog outputs are also exellent quality: no noise), trs (too?) Dynamic and ralistes overall. I will not dwell on the quality, since it is the most INTERESTED default for you, reader.
No, the sounds are not perfect, those notammant piano, which have default: they are samples with three samples, and unfortunately a means, especially the passage of the sample "average" to "strong "which makes me jump so much I feel like tap too hard, while I tap a little harder, and that teacher, I am of ground. It GNE expression gnrale because I'm afraid to type too much. It is true that the SETTING THE rponse of touch are manual is not as simple as a Yamaha P120 for example, or you can choose between three curves rponse ... Kurzweil can rgler really like you will, but finding the right rglage forcment not empty ... So the sounds are not on top of technology, and remain for me the sounds of old gnration ...
on the other hand, if technically the piano sounds are improved, at the tone of the instrument, a sound natural. I tried Kawai (see APRS bought my pc1 x), and technically it's better done, there's no saying. No audible transition between the samples, it rsons best, it is deeper, all served by a heavy touch prcis trs (but too "mlasson" I got), but the sound kawai I find it not natural at all, too artificial anything. In Kurzweil's more "raw" is less perfect, Arson I got enough for some piano sounds, but hey, it's good dj, and there's the What be expressive even when ... but I prfre yamaha.
The other sounds are also well trs, trs electric piano well, real organs, with simulation phonic wheel (too bad we can not rgler the speed of the wheel ...), groundwater trs are numerous and beautiful, harp, harpsichord, clavinet, accordion, bass, guitar trs good, not great voice, organ pipes small but well-trs, trs good drum sounds, etc. ... Finally, we can not perform miracles, playing the violin on a piano in Vaud never a real violin ... but the sounds of cello can be used with a big gun and not strong mix ...
The effects are trsralistes for their part, and y 'abeaucoup.
Discoveries I have aftertouch just two months ago, j'tais all crazy! that his
OVERALL OPINION
It's been 1 year and a half that I have, and feel gets better (it has a besion rdage because the hammer must be amortized no felt, and it takes time it settles, Finally ... it's my thoriated ...), it is more enjoyable. Its strengths are the many sounds of its modularity and its quality performance / price ratio (I got 1500, when it was released). apparently now it is 2300, it's too expensive, the price you have better Yamaha, better feel and full sound as good or better.
I do not think I do it again the same choice as pianistically I'm not satisfied, but the many sounds I use a lot also. I think I had a Yamaha P120 plutt which is amplified to a trs good touch and better piano sounds.
That said, it's a good product for the price (I got 1500)
