UTILIZATION
Simple configuration, easy to use. Editing is very simple.
SOUNDS

The design was beautiful, but its lack of dynamism.
OVERALL OPINION
I got two or three years, long ago. I had to buy the Microwave on at the time, because the JD 800 sounds flat (while the other ...). However, it was a pleasure to use, the knobs like the keyboard in particular were very very cozy feel, and LED were pretty orange color, was very nice!
