Arranger keyboard 61 keys dynamic touch lightweight (but still nice, not fisher price)

UTILIZATION

This arranger keyboard is an excellent compromise performance and ease of use, we can play well and quickly without taking the head with submenus.

I have used it from 1998 to 2000, with my group 80's and has traveled to concerts repeats neighborhood at the time (he was our drummer + keyboard live, I developed the smf batteries on my G800 and was read by the E500 due to disk)

He again repeated the concerts of my group's next 60 2003-2010. (Just sounds so)

With its memories and its ease of use, it was really practical to store the scene recallable sounds in 2 buttons. (Modern keyboards are less practical, too complex ... sniff)

Now it is in my living room as 2nd keyboard to strum while singing into the microphone, plug and play is what you need in a living room, the sounds are good enough for this purpose even today.
Its more: a balanced and powerful amplification, just right to play and sing alone ...

OVERALL OPINION

Obviously it's not worth a north electro 3 (I in repeats) or a keyboard later, but considering its age it is really convenient. I give 250 € in making a case. Need not pay € 400 instead ...

But mine, I keep it. (Sounds better than a Yamaha or Casio G800 or the same time ...)
Level arranger is also very good for the time (released in 1997 on about??), There is not a lot of different styles but this is enough for many.
Level sequencer and others, it is not the top is basic, it is not a worstation or arrageur upscale current course.
