OVERALL OPINION

I use it since February 1999, bought 1500 like new (dmo copy of the store).
I like almost all the sounds and those of particulirements piano, EP (Fender Rhodes), too, Hammond B3 organ style, the Wurlitzer ... the sounds are warm and Defines the size. The piano sounds are excellent.
The graphic EQ is effective.
On-board squenceur is minimalist and functions ditions are limits, but it's enough to capture something hot.
I jou few years on a Roland A80 and I think that sounds warmer and GEM moind hard .... but it is no longer subjective trs jou on A80 for over 10 years against the best team and Roland struts were to offer more possibilities. Cot finishes the GEM is anything under Roland but it's still good stuff, intuitive, robust and easy to handle.
The report qualitprix is ​​correct but one or two controllers and more expression (style Pitch / Bender / Modulation wheel) would not have the luxury ts.
Today I focus on the quality of the keyboard and controllers available on the instrument for controlling virtual synths, the sound-board quality remains a strong argument anyway.
