UTILIZATION

-> Setup, shipping and manual trs clear.

Enjoyable use (touch right, buttons a bit too "plastoc" relatively good, but ...)
=> Only problem (I got): no jog wheel to quickly change or give patch.

-> A shame also to the lack of aftertouch and layout of buttons DIFFERENT (especially the buttons "value + and -," "transpose" and the 8 button "Perform favorite bank" under the screen ).

-> The pots seem a bit fragile.

-> No squenceur house.

SOUNDS

-> The sounds are good quality and gnralistes (acoustic sounds are correct) agree a lot of music styles.

-> The effects are not evils at all, yet on 16 DIFFERENT sounds that can be, if you choose an effect (outside the rverb and chorus) for one channel, can not apply another effect to another channel (only one posible because 16 sounds for 1) damage! ==> We need a multi-effects device.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been a year since I have and I do not regret it: I rflchis long time and I needed a keyboard with marital synth sounds and gnralistes good quality acoustic ==> it is.

Report qualitprix honnte (especially now used).

With exprience, I do it again this election for a keyboard a keyboard complmentaire matre more complete (if possible with the touch piano).
