UTILIZATION

The panel is clear, no clutter of buttons, text, visual comfort and effectiveness of ergonomics. The LCD is not tiring, his organization is very well thought out.

The sound editing could not be easier thanks to the display and buttons for poussoirs.Pareil effects and parameters of the keyboard parts.

The manual includes two volumes: the musician's guide for the handling of the instrument and the reference manual, more "technical" is to explain the setting further.

All this is well thought out for when buying such an instrument, we are afraid of being confused, it is just the first moments, but then you quickly understand the logic of the instrument. In addition, we do not need the manual to make it work: everything makes sense.
However, it still has a simple manual first: how to operate the machine (choice of sounds, of which shares, styles, ...) and a more technical when it was under control but the instrument we want to push it in such a corner (editing sequencer, ...)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it 10 years release date

+ +: What I like most is its ergonomics, ease, speed, efficiency, it is really multitasking is a stage animal. His "drum variations." The quality of its style rivals even with recent arrangers. the quality of acoustic sounds above: same performance .. His memoirs: many, complete and sound efficaces.Les given 10 years of the unit.

-: What I like least: its sequencer / compose only 8 tracks, sound editing is not included in the registration call.

"I had tried many a model before and after the acquisition. Yamaha PSR (bad keyboard) sounds means (matter of taste?) Technics styles means compared to E96), E86 (I will have bought if the E96 had not been released).

This is one of the best quality / price

I do not regret that choice. I was looking for sound quality, a fun and arranger stunning, ergonomic "no brainer" and I'm happy that the E96 came out at that time.
