Value For Money :
Excellent
See data sheet
UTILIZATION
Usage is pretty simple. On the keyboard part no problem, it's a plastic keyboard touch everything from classic.
The menus sound banks are sorted by genre which is convenient.
The sound editing is done in two ways: 1) on the keyboard, returning to the edit menu, you can then adjust the volume, effects, velocity, reverb, the superposition of two sounds or the way "split" between the two keyboard (the one on the left and the right one for rehearsal and practice where we do not want to carry around two keyboards).
2) the other way is through editing software on computer and connecting the USB keyboard. There you can edit everything, oscillator frequencies, curve ... and it is much easier to get a more "personalized" in this mode. But be careful as it all is a gas plant so be careful ears.
The + is the USB mode, you can lower the sound of the synth and usb drive a VST instrument. Very convenient.
SOUNDS
1000 sounds about I think. In short it is like groovebox for those who have known: There are some very nice sound for the money and very bad that you never will but I think there is something for everyone.
The pianos are quite realistic (again for the price), the organ is quite good especially when one adjusts the sustain pedal on the modulator. Do not expect to have sick Wurlitzer (or keyboard while targeting a 2000 or 3000 euros)
What fishing really is the little sound effects assignable to (2) do not even have a knob that can control it live. Personal I leave the sound on a KAOSS pad to compensate. You can put one or more effects pedals if you wish.
Parcontre effects are quite good but watch out for the right amount
OVERALL OPINION
Purchased in November, used on stage. Responded well, the sound engineer galèrent not too much for the mix ...
For the price it is unbeatable, it's a very decent keyboard, not too heavy to carry.
If you have more gold coins, type in the models above.
The pros: price / quality ratio; lot of sounds, can be used as a master keyboard midi / usb; modes "Split" and "Dual", the sound editing software, the keyboard and knobs are in good bill compared to other more expensive keyboards.
The -: Many sounds totally useless, and the severe lack of control knobs (such rate, osc, and MFX1 ... 2) the change in live sound that cuts sound and puts 2 / 3 seconds to load (on scene that can be quickly annoying);
Yes I would do this either with the budget seen as value for money, the editing capabilities of computer ... And if I could afford it I would take a Jupiter ... or north
