UTILIZATION

Cinfiguration trs simple, even if we look at some beginners.
Edition also sounds simple trs. But nothing special, just a multitude of possible combinations from the original sounds.
When the manual I have ever had in his hands.

OVERALL OPINION

The most: pav numrique 0 for 9 and select a more rglage of paramtres faicle and quickly accessible.
A quality sound era still acceptable with sounds trs retros.
Ideal for beginners, or train for fun.
This keyboard can also be used as a keyboard 61 keys matre thanks its 2 MIDI (IN and OUT).
The HP is not great quality (far l but it has 2 audio output (left and right) RCA-type who once connected to an amp the sound is rather good trs.
Original: this keyboard is contrary ment trs long as others who have the HP of each ct above the keys, his people are to carrment extrmits two keys (see picture ) which makes long-trs. But hez GEM They thought all the HP and the rest are connected by two legs conexion for sounds and two small screws, and for easy transport or storage over the ais 2 speakers can dtach by simple dvissage the 2 screws that hold them.
Bought used just to see what c'tait I sold one month as a APRS did not fit what I wanted.

Everything has been said by Tyokkan.

UTILIZATION

It is relatively easy to use for basic sections. But if you want to push the possibilities without knowing it is more complex (I had to understand himself, having received pay from a friend without instructions, and without that it knows the use).
The manual is very clear and helpful (the box is convenient costumisable rhythms).
And a third point: even if it does not predict a lot of time, have full effect readjusted every time you turn is annoying.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years (or more I do not know), and despite the limitations that I feel I'm really attached to his his edition (and not too electronic). Although his polyphony is (very) small (7 notes).
I still put on hold as mine has not aged well, and some buttons are a little hard of hearing (and must be emphatically beaten up), and a key spring (it works fine, but is a small acoustic noise in back). Also, be careful to buttons that are pressed, that turn on and off randomly.

So basically, an old keyboard, but old.
