Said, I could not do better.
It's a nice little machine, light, and does his age on the details, especially the LCD clock radio type (awful).
I use it to play rock (surprising I know), controlled by a midi keyboard as a synthesizer or a expedeur. So I could not learn about the capabilities of the sequencer, but a friend of mine was able to get some beautiful rhythms, very rock elsewhere, as well as Elektro.
Even against a machine's job very interesting and rewarding.

UTILIZATION

Very simple. I have not even felt the need to read the manual to use it, and yet God knows that the machines and I are not great friends. However I did not delve into the use of sequencers and drum machines, but I was able to operate the arpeggiator instinctively. Nothing but that I already had a ball while the rest ....

SOUNDS

The sounds are very typical techno-trance beginning 90. It's quite annoying. But there are still many beautiful things. Two or three fairly realistic and expressive pianos, some organs, some tablecloths, various noises. Some sounds are missing heat but mixed with other sounds from other keyboards and various instruments live, they gain credibility.

OVERALL OPINION

As I said, I use it as qu'expandeur for elektro-rock sound, and I really have fun with. It produces remarkable effects, and brings a synthetic magic mail to all. I am very happy.
Kinks:
mini keyboard ugly, uninteresting and not practical.
A breath sometimes unintended startup.
Some of the lead that work poorly (like glitter ARP type, which is very disappointing)
Sometimes sounds very artificial and synthetic.
But it is true that the uses it against employment but even so it is very effective in terms of a further guarantee of credibility.
A consultant so if you want to play at a lower price and you do not find the king of synth but just to make the most of the mini mum.
