UTILIZATION

Ideal for learning, beginners in keyboard or for experienced but especially for fans of synthse rtro.
Configuration very simple and intuitive trs once you have entered the system.
For the edition of sounds and effects all done with 4 button, the wheel and the digital screen (the numrique what ...) and there really is not rocket science.
This keyboard s'avre also be an excellent 61-key keyboard matre MIDI implmentation complte his grace.
I never had man hands and cel did not lack at all.

SOUNDS

Excellent sound quality, but sounds really rtros extras! So just sounds trs ralistes but is it really the purpose of a synthtiseur ????????
This keyboard is perfect for any style of music electronics, personal I used to make the atmosphere, but for fans of the electro 80's / 90's it is really IDAL.
The effects are not bad, sometimes a little too pousss you rgler them well.
My sound prfr on this machine is the "synth-bells" with the modulation trigger and put back!! gives a sound came from elsewhere and really too good for a support agreement in a piece of ambient.
Attention to the followers of the sensitivity and aftertouch-this keyboard is not VLOC nor aftertouch!

OVERALL OPINION

I had a Casio HT-3000 just before, during 6 months, which is an arranger keyboard sound edition and part of synthtisation numrique HT-3000 is none other than the HZ-600! ! So I knew the sounds and types of rglage and config.
I used the HZ-600 for 4 months (I often change trs gear, it was for me only works with the opportunity) is that I admit surprised by his tone that suited the electro-exprimental, the atmosphere, the electro 80's or 90's.
In short a good little machine that made us the Casio trs not known, even quasi inaperue password, which is a shame because it is of the same ilk as a CZ-1000, of as much as it did not VLOC or aftertouch.
The aftertouch is not necessary for me but if there's one thing I least AIM on this keyboard is precisely the lack of VLOC.
With exprience MODEL try to find a key with sensitivity, but it's even harder to find ............
