I'm not going to repeat what has already been said. But I wanted to do another review after nearly 8 years on. It is a keyboard for live very convenient for singers who are not accompanied by pianist and loves with rhythms, melodies left hand automatic battery styles vary widely. There are over 600 different sound categorization, they are not editable as is the case for a real synth, but they can add effects, with another doubling its volume and thus manage independently other. (Volume of his main volume of the dual). The sequencer! me with how I largely reversible during 3years none-stop. It is very easy to use. 5 tracks in all. It can make 4 5pistes music and then record all on disk, with the sound settings etc. ... Knowing that if we use the functionality of the left hand accompaniment (with rhythm of the drums) that occupies the left hand track 1. But since the keyboard is a splitter, you can also play the right hand in the track 1 at the same time). If you use the custom sound bank (16 possible settings of its recording in a bank), then we can quickly make music with many instruments that keep coming on only 4 tracks + 1). The default is the variation of tempo / rhythm / accompaniment is not possible, but we simply can manage: quiet part of the accompaniment, or Part B dynamics. Connectors: 1 stereo input jack (you can put a mono jack, it works very well if we use the instruments without accompaniment). MIDI IN, MIDI OUT, and one for a sustain pedal. (Handy!) There are effects to set some sounds ... there are a dozen of reverb, then there are the DSP 38 in all, very good, and very customizable. You can adjust the intensity of the sound effects. The reverb and DSP are combined.
UTILIZATION
I got this keyboard with 12 or 13 years, I took over in 1 to 2 weeks, and then gradually level as my piano and my creative skills evolved, I have mastered more more. With determination, we made the rounds of his abilities in an evening full. But we took the opportunity to truly experience. The editions of sounds and their recording is done very easily. There are sub-menus, but most of them are written directly on the keyboard, so we never lost! The manual is quite clear, very complete, a little long. The keyboard is fairly intuitive. Mostly, I was referring to the handbook would confirm that I understood what I learned on the job. His strong point anyway, it's use is very simple, and yet there is still a good range of possibilities.
I now use it for the Live with my band. A great point is: the disk ... It is true that now a synth can have its own internal memory (no battery), but hey I'd rather have it on me and it does not move. It's been 5 years that I use the same disk that 3yrs I use the same drive all weekend, I record, I erase ... etc. The strong point thus:
In fact, when our backup settings, backup AC EVERYTHING! the 4 5pistes music too. What takes time is the recording of music. But if, as is my case, I only my sounds setting in the bank without making music, so there, save / load is very very fast. With the dexterity in 3sec is good, and 5-6 dry we had the time to browse our store to find the sound we wanted to use his custom. For the Live is so great! Synthetic sounds are very beautiful.
The weak point: it is mistaken for those of use: it's not a piano is not an electric organ. The sound quality in this sense is not great: it's not serious enough for a nice piano, not too striking. But for everything else, sounds are very recconnaissables from their original instrument.
OVERALL OPINION
So since I use my real first experience in the electronic keyboard (in general). I had a little before BONTEMPI with 8 sounds! 10 pace, without sustain pedal effect ... well, it was a keyboard for children. Here, this keyboard there is a very good keyboard for beginner adults. They got started very well to electronic music. I use it for 3 years for my band (I setting my sounds and record them on disk)
After 8 years of use, I began to consider selling it: My level of piano has evolved, my requirement in terms of adjusting the sound began to emerge. In short, I grew up anyway, and my budget has changed too. This keyboard allowed me to give a good overview of the different requirements we may have, in particular between: synthesizer, piano, electronics, workstation.
I can not remember what price I'd buy, especially since we had just moved to the Euro, so my memories are mixed. I was due to economies of small children. But I've always been very satisfied, and I really have not regretted my purchase, but cons, often from 16/17ans, I hesitate to proceed to higher education.
