UTILIZATION

The use of EG 101 is very easy, the main functions are mastered in a week using the manual, all functions are very convenient to access.

OVERALL OPINION

I use the EG101 for over three years, the most remarkable are the modern sounds, many effects and controller dbean which is very useful especially when dealing in the world of the stage, the least on this object is the sampler that're a gadget which one tires quickly of the fact that am limited.
The price is very attractive since it has a keyboard synthesizer, a sound generator, an amplifier it all with an external sequencer to create pieces of profesional qualities.
If I redeem it again occurs because there opened my mind on the possible composition étandue when I bought it I had no amp, no computer, no matter what may be, since I bought a computer and an amp MC-505 Roland pushes me to want to now share this synth with a midi keyboard master (remember that the EG101 possesses essentially the same as the MC505) is more myself a piano keyboard 4 octaves is a bit limited.
