The Korg iX300 is an old arranger workstation and synthesizer. That sentence could mean "bad quality" for some people, but it's actually a great keyboard. It has lots of high quality sounds, with highlights for the Rock Organ ones - can I say that I used the iX300 as "organ" for a long time before moving to a dedicated clonewheel?
The panel is not much user-friendly, but if you read the manual, you'll easily get into it. Also, it's very reliable - I once transported it to some stage and accidentally hit it on the wall, but no matter of that, it was still intact. I wonder if there's some modern keyboard that can be hit without breaking... The keybed is very strong too: you can play in più fortissimo (fff) without damaging the keys (!!!) I also tested it as a controller at the time, and it worked very well.
It's an overall nice instrument, a bit difficult at the beginning, but the manual helps to understand it.
