UTILIZATION

Programming is very simple and complete. &nbsp;I use the meter and tempo changes and it goes smoothly. The ghost function gives a human touch that I appreciate. I use it in rehearsals and on stage. The only downside, the bass programming is a bit long for my taste, but it does it anyway. You can really personalize its pieces and it's very significant, and for the stage, possibility of 4 outputs, in order to have a balanced facade (personally for me: an outlet for the GC, one for the bass B, and the rest , in stereo L & R).

SOUNDS

I do alternative rock, and the basic kit is perfect. The sounds are realistic enough for my taste (the bass a little too electronic but fine, for the drum part it is nice). We just set the velocity, note duration, very convenient for the bass. The drum part is still better than the bass part, in terms of sound quality.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years already. I like its versatility and its ability to meet all styles of music, as twisted as they are. I don't appreciate too much the bass sounds, that I find a bit too cold for my taste. I have not tried other models because it is the only one I found with the same output in this price range.
I do not regret my purchase and I find the price / quality excellent, I will do it again this without hesitation. Well, there are two black points all the same: it cannot improvise, and does not catch up with the bread: o)
