UTILIZATION

I confirm that the use is simple, just plug and play.

For editing sounds, 2 software is provided: AX and AX-Synth Librarian-Synth Editor, I recommend that you read the documentation of these programs.

SOUNDS

Sounds' SuperNATURAL 'and SPECIAL' seems to be well chosen.

To my taste, there are a couple of sounds that are usable for me: There are 3 or 4 sounds of piano or organ, two guitars, three basses, a few pads, etc..

It is a pity he does not have a drum kit.

OVERALL OPINION

This is not my main keyboard, but for some passages as solos or interludes, he is a very good job for a game scene.
One can also use the MIDI connection to use the sounds of a synth rack.
Unfortunately, for an instrument that has autonomous and mobile, there are too many connections lurking around (food, sound, sustain pedal, midi).

When it was ready (and secure all the connections), it is very enjoyable to play (careful, you can quickly get a label when using GUITAR HERO guitars).
