Yes

SOUNDS

The sounds they agree your style of music?
yes, very new-wave ... but this keyboard is a wonder to electro!

the sound is realistic?
No! but unique. very brassy.

Expression is it good? (Response to velocity, aftertouch)?
yes very good ... it's not the same keyboard as 2.2 or 2.3 or the keys are "cheep" the keyboard 2 is very good!

NOTICE GLOBAL

What thing do you like most and least?
least: the sequencer can complicated.
most all the rest ...

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I have a lot of synth that time.

How would you rate the quality / price?
given the number of tube in which he was involved I think we can say EXCELLENT!
and just for the record, there are only 160 in the world.

With experience, you do again this choice?
Yes! but I would put less time to decide to buy it.
