Keyboard arranger of the early 90s. One hundred sounds for the right hand, 48 styles for the left.
As a reverb effect
It was the top in 1992-93 but is now outdated
UTILIZATION
Simple to use, touch function, direct access to sounds.
Some configuration menus, that's all.
It is possible to create one's own styles, but it's a real grind and was quickly abandoned.
Thus it's very simple for routine use, off-putting to go further.
The sounds are not programmable or changeable, just the possibility of making a few layers
OVERALL OPINION
Some sounds are not bad: synthetic sounds, organs, accordions, and trumpets.
The pianos are a disaster, as are most of the guitars and string.
The strings are difficult to use without external effects.
The arrangements are still not bad, but they are too few. It is possible to change them, but as it is equipped with a memory card reader (not SD as now, but the memory card of 20 years ago ...) it is virtually impossible today
Sounds require equalization; external filtering but as there is only a stereo output, it is difficult to establish because the effects (equalizer, filter, chorus, ..) will be common to its right hand and arrangements and beats.
I've had it for 17 years and it is always faithful. I use it as extra keyboard, or for holidays.
This remains a good deal if is not expensive, less than 80 euros, beyond taking an all-new one.
I put 8 but it is very relative, when compared to current arrangers I put 2
