61 softkeys
2 Wheels: pitch bend and modulation
Transpose buttons (octave + / -) very practical
3 Taken MIDI In / Out / Thru
Stereo output (+ 2 separate mono outputs)
2 pedals (sustain and expression)
Backlit LCD
Fully compatible GM, XG
XG instruments in 16 channels and DSP effects
Up to 64 note polyphony simultaneous
Many factory presets + fully customizable user bank (thousands of presets at all (that's right!)) In all styles
Demos included
The sounds are really effective and fully customizable, trrrrrrèèèès many (too?)
It can save its banks of sounds on PC or Mac via MIDI with the supplied software.
touch is nice.
UTILIZATION
At first, we must understand what all the buttons, but once the system is an understood, it becomes very simple. Of course we can use it without all-inclusive.
The manuals are well made and there is a comprehensive list of presets.
As it can go very far in the editing of sounds at the beginning we find there are too many parameters, but that's what makes the quality of the keyboard (bank of 400 sounds and you can mix different sounds for each 4 instrument.
I used Master keyboard (with an external interface) and independent Synth (to learn the piano).
Perfect for a home studio or for live.
SOUNDS
The sounds are very realistic for some (special mention for hammond organ!).
But above all they are effective!
That is, it always sounds so nice, and + we can share the keyboard to use the example above for the piano, the keys to the middle strings and keys down to the lower (provided that 'we have three hands!).
These sounds are suitable for any style of music because they are very varied.
OVERALL OPINION
I have been using for over a year, and I am perfectly satisfied.
Alas, I have to part with it (move: I am always on the move next year between the province and Paris).
The pros: - The sound (quantity and quality)!
- The price!
- The ability to change everything ...
- The keys octave + / - handy (used during the game)
The -: - I could not bring him home every weekend next year, on the train it takes too much space.
- No USB port (you need an interface for connecting to PC (but you can find one for less than € 40 in USB and less than 15 € in joystick port (but less good ...))).
